I've paused #ElConde as I've decided it's too heady for my tired body, but damn am I engrossed in this #Pinochet as a vampire conceit. I even had some wine. Turns out, it's a family dramedy about the rich. I'm at the point where the Nun/accountant looks at the books. Might put on the new #MikeFlanagan before my slumber. #TV#movies#Netflix#villains#HistoricalFiction#history#eattherich before they eat you. :ablobcatneon: #spooktober
Carmen's execution killed my buzz, but illuminating horrors is El Conde's goal. There's something to Hannah Strong's (Little White Lies) critique that Pinochet's evil is lessened by emphasizing the cruel women in his life. But this satire is grotesque & gorgeous. Margot Thatcher's entrance is indelible. Makes you wonder: what other IRL villains would make great vampires?
