In the shot, The Girl slowly rises, inch by inch, from the depths of the bath water—eerily reminiscent of Dracula slowly rising out of his coffin. Ashar drives away in the night with the Girl and Masuka on the co-driver's seat. He stops in the middle of nowhere and gets out of the car. He nervously walks in front of the car's lights. Finally, and in complete silence, he gets in again.The Girl puts on a cassette on. A young rockabilly-looking youngster picks up a cat .
This startles Saeed, who pushes Atti out of the car without paying her, telling her to stop crying and calling her a hag. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night was shot over the course of twenty-four days, in the town of Taft in Kern County in southern California. The film also brings to its American and Western audience a different look at the veiled woman. The chador, as a culturally specific Iranian veil, is used to challenge Western assumptions of the role of women in Muslim societies.
Under the influence, he becomes disoriented, and ends up lost at night on the street. Ana Lily Amirpour’s black-and-white vampire noir film A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night has garnered somewhat of a cult following. At one point, returning from a costume party , he runs into her on a lonely deserted street.
She wants to leave but he puts himself on her way. She seems to ponder what to do or say next, but just leaves. An Iranian Vampire Western, shot in black&white and with a killer soundtrack... It's a love story about two tortured souls in a desolate Iranian Ghost-town called 'Bad City', where a lonely vampire is stalking the towns most depraved denizens. The woman with the chador spends her time listening to music alone in her apartment, skateboarding, or bedeviling pedestrians at night, until she comes across the lost Arash. He shows vulnerability and compassion, and she takes him to her home, where they listen to music, and she resists his exposed neck.
For instance, the opening sequence introduces us to the character of Arash , whose white T-shirt and jeans, sideburns, and vintage Ford Thunderbird evoke an explicit James Dean aesthetic. The film’s American- and Western-ness is further established by the spaghetti Western musical score that plays underneath it all. The score functions as the heartbeat of the film, placing this work firmly in European and Western genre conventions and traditions. In the next scene, as Saeed walks to his flat, The Girl follows him. Not only does Saeed show no signs of fear, but he is intrigued by her and invites her back to his home, suggesting his desire to unveil her.
A notable scene is of her in the bathtub. This scene hardly holds any narrative purpose. Instead, its significance lies in bringing the film into conversation with a canonical Western text, serving as a reminder for the audience of the classic vampire figure Dracula.
But by her very nature, The Girl can never endorse or promote such ideologies—she can never be controlled, tamed, or contained. The film turns the symbolism of the veil on its head by bringing to the screen a chador-wearing vampire, with fangs and blood dripping down her mouth. She is at once bad, veiled, and sexual. By Zahra Khosroshahi, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto researching Iranian cinema and women’s filmmaking. I deeply felt it, pangs of yearning & loss as I watched I was totally immersed in a lonely existence.
The Girl turns her head around and can't avoid to show her fangs in a reflex act.She controls herself and offers her other ear. This time she knows what she is going to feel so her reaction is more subdued. Arash says that they are lucky earrings. He is about to kiss her when she says that she has done many bad things.
