The Countess
She sacrificed all for love and others for beauty
Directed by Julie Delpy
Produced by X Filme International, Celluloid Dreams
A dark, psychologically complex portrait of obsession and vanity in 17th-century Hungary, where a noblewoman's desperate pursuit of youth through violence becomes both intimate tragedy and historical horror.
Kingdom of Hungary, 17th century. As she gets older, powerful Countess Erzsébet Báthory (1560-1614), blinded by the passion that she feels for a younger man, succumbs to the mad delusion that blood will keep her young and beautiful forever.
