FLICS: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (N-R)
Film Lovers International Cinema Society present “FLICS: A Girl Walks Alone At Night (N-R)” on Friday October 30 at 7:30pm.

2014, US, 104 min, Unrated. The first Iranian Vampire Western ever made, this director’s debut basks in the sheer pleasure of pulp. The film opens with a scene of a vast wasteland, Bad City, populated with oil drilling machines and the foreboding sense of a ghost town. Here Arash, a lonely teenager, tries his best to make a living working as a gardener for a rich family. Unknown to him, the city is inhabited by a lonely young vampire who acts as a sort of vigilante, choosing to feed from those who she considers “bad.” One night she runs into Arash and will learn that even in Bad City, shines a small glimmer of hope and, possibly, love. A joyful mash-up of genre, archetype and iconography. In Farsi, with English subtitles. IMPORTANT NOTE: Ana Lily Amirpour, the director, attended high school in Bakersfield in the 1990s and filmed her movie in Taft.
