El Conde

El Conde feels like a bizzaro Wes Anderson film in the best way possible. You're given an ensemble cast of eccentric characters that can be split into a few groups based on their motivations. As we watch each group move through the mysteries of the count's life and we gain further information of his past, he becomes a more relatable and likeable character. There were a few unexpected twists and turns that added to the overall enjoyment of the El Conde experience but the dialogue and artistic direction of the film really carried it. I definitely enjoyed this dryly humorous depiction of the life of a vampire much more than I thought I would. Well worth the watch.
