Bella Tarr, Werckmeister Harmonies 35mm, at Irish Film Institute, 2015. RIP. @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social #projectionbooth #bellatarr

Rewatch complete of Ricky Lau’s horror/comedy/action classic that gave Lam Ching-ying this memorable and defining character. Endlessly fun with great vampire makeup effects, practical effects and crazy stunt work. Chin Siu-ho should have been a bigger star. Hopping vampires rule!

From the projection booth, with love ❤️ @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social

"What the THE DEAD sacrifices in character subjectivity, it makes up for in a kind of living, overhanging sense of the passage of time. Its inevitability. Our inability to control it. In conveying that, John Huston gets at the very heart of Joyce’s story. He gets at the inevitability of death."
