1928: Lyovuschka, a Soviet worker, is cast in the role of Trotsky for Eisenstein‘s latest film, but quickly finds his dreams of an actor‘s life shattered when Trotsky falls into Stalin‘s disfavor. Exiled from his homeland, he poses as a wealthy baron and finds himself stuck in a glamorous seaside resort in Germany awaiting a barge that will take him to Hollywood. A summer romance kicks off when he meets the eccentric factory owner Octavia Flambow-Jansen - it's just too bad there are vampires around.

This movie is awesome! Bloodsuckers is a slow paced movie told in multiple acts. The colors of this movie are just incredible and I love some of the shots. This film pokes fun at beliefs deep rooted in today’s society. A visually stunning, funny, intriguing, almost saddening social satire with increasing relevance for the modern world.

After watching it last night I thought about and even if I at first didn't really see the picture of it I can now recognise some really well made details.
It may not be a groundbreaking movie or perspective on capitalism but it feels so real at times while creating this interesting world of our present time and the 1920s. Also interpreting vampires as not queer characters but capitalistic figures, just like Mary did, is quite refreshing and fits better than I first thought

i thoroughly enjoyed this film, despite its mediocre rating. it struck me as a sharp critique of the capitalist upper class—those who, simply because they have money and culture, see themselves as gods entitled to exploit the working class while indulging in endless leisure, all under the guise of possessing a “literary education.” i also really liked how the film tells us it’s 1929, yet shows modern objects and clothing. it’s clearly mocking how wealthy families romanticize the past, believing they live in another era just because of how they choose to live, creating an illusion for themselves. it’s not the best film in the world, but i genuinely appreciated the satire and the social commentary it delivers.
