The Fearless Vampire Killers

Polański's Vampire Killers is more than just a vampire comedy. Behind the burlesque humour and opulent snowy landscapes lies an astute parable about power, outsiderism and fear. The setting is reminiscent of Eastern European shtetls and Jewish communities in Central Europe. Polański interweaves satire with echoes of tradition and persecution, while the vampire hunters encounter the supernatural. A biting dance on the abyss. (Klaus Davidowicz)
