Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".

我喜欢交谈的力量。
【柏林 2021】喜欢《夜以继日》的观众应该会很喜欢这部，三个短片互为交织，滨口龙介再次将女性心理状态拿捏得恰到好处，同时配合其高超的调度技巧，将影像的穿透力用到极致，大师气象已成。
不知道为什么，无数次在大量对白中涌现出读坂元裕二的感觉：那些真诚的、泛着泪光的有些中二的停顿、反问和告白。过分的偶然、脑海中的剧场、未曾谋面的重逢——偶然与想象中男人与女人、女人与女人、人与人之间的情感，在封闭的、单一的场景中却更加真挚而弥足珍贵。这就是那种能让你看完后勇敢一点、诚实一点的作品。
没想到这么好看，幸好收到了票。第一个故事很有趣但算是常见的套路，第二个故事电影里不常见但像是短篇里读到过，第三个故事大惊喜！！！触发了隐藏彩蛋！不枉我下雨天大晚上的跑去新彩云。恳请四十岁左右的女本子们都给我去看！！！就第二次扮演重逢的时候默默流了一个泪…
我仿佛听到了这些话穿过你的心门撞击在心房里产生共鸣的声音。
平静单调生活里骤起的波澜。第一个故事，有一个喜欢主动制造复杂的女孩；第二个故事，女人是被复杂所诱惑；第三个故事脱离了短篇小说最习惯的男女、婚姻这些设定，观看时全程在猜二十年前的女生情感有什么好讲的呢，如此被一层一层一层地代入进去，天桥的片段看得忍不住叹息，从未体会过的共鸣。
三个故事小品都很有意思，最喜欢第三个，感觉太棒了。
80/100。#IKSV#滨口龙介舍弃了《欢乐时光》里的絮絮叨叨，丢掉了《夜以继日》的无病呻吟，用极具精巧的拍摄手法为我们讲述了几个有关于女性的小故事，可能手法上并不能为所有人接受，但情感足够真挚动人。或许在人生的某一刻，你也是彷徨于过往情丝中的纠结者，你也是想逃脱自身缺陷却又一直出不去的迷失者，你也是想理清曾经反反复复不止不休的执念的不甘者。但当你经历了命运之轮的吹拂，当你在想象与现实的交界线上突然认清了未来的路，当你终于在破碎的记忆里看清了那道如何继续走下去的明灯，所有的幸福和愉悦，也许就在下个街角等着你。我们的存在，就是对无声时间的最好宣战。
换了陈赫是5星 恶心他 没想到泪点是这样 有笑有泪 待会儿再复习一下小品
妈妈是在当妈妈之后成为中年妇女的。曾经她也像花儿一样，优雅漂亮地盛放啊。TAT
太轻盈了！太会讲故事了。这才是会获得快感的片子啊。在相当有限的观影经历里检索第一直觉确实是「易懂」的洪常秀（比侯麦少了一份闲情逸致，制造了局促和强冲突，所以更偏洪），但当那个惊喜时刻出现的时候还是让人觉得非常厉害；// 2021 BJIFF 银幕重刷 🎫 真的是很适合去电影院看的片子，每个故事到了那个轻巧的转折时听到大家一起轻呼的那种共感（无论什么时候都能笑的人除外），以及退场后的讨论度，都证明片子本身艺术性和“娱乐性”都极佳
2.5星，这评分太过夸张，和李佳在和平广场万达影城
前半段转场和笑点挺生硬的，沈光林还是陈赫更合适（话剧版就是陈演的），沈腾外形显老显胖，演小伙子不合适（年轻十岁就好了）；结尾反转处理的很细腻和感人，拉高了整部电影的水准。
久说「我们是通过谈话在抚摸着彼此」，古说「太色了」，并且对「没有做」这件事情感到非常惊讶。让我想起以前看到的一则广播「过度的交流会诱发性欲。因为坦诚所具备的能量是无限巨大的，没有人能够完全承受另一个人的自我剖析， 更别提毫无保留地剖析自我。两个人当中总有一方会率先承受不住这种赤裸所带来的不安，这时候人们下意识地就会开始做爱。以及，在倾听的过程中，总会有那么一个瞬间会让人分不清是心疼还是心动。就是这个瞬间，这就是产生性欲的瞬间」
搞事情中：
不仅对导演本人，甚至是对“致敬对象”里维特、候麦没有基本的认识。在我看来，它诠释的是Daily Drama：不是用最流俗的语气说着最日常的话，而是将日常仪式化，上演幕幕精彩。

我要收回自己在《夜以继日》时的差评和睡眠，哦，滨口龙介，我脑海中的摄像头。这部电影我也看了一个月才看完，获得了《甜蜜的生活》的同等待遇。
小品演员齐聚一堂多少有些亲切感，也表现出了扎实的演技功力。显然这部电影更懂得人们的笑点，而不是像唐探一样装疯卖傻开女性玩笑，笑果虽不及夏洛特烦恼，但故事深度更胜一筹。虽是由小品改编，由此展开的所有情节恰到好处地在原有故事架构上进行填充，有笑有泪，大超所望。放映开始没多久，可能会有观众跟我一样在想：怎么又玩穿越啊，多俗套！然而却在一个极其微不足道的细节上来个反转，加上贾玲的真情流露，整个放映厅都没有之前的欢笑了......虽然影片着重去刻画母亲形象而顾此失彼（父亲），不过不影响我打五颗星，这才是贺岁片应有的样子（感谢同行衬托）。
