Review of Therapy for a Vampire

Don't believe the (pointlessly) negative reviews, they kept me from giving this wonderful (period piece) vampire comedy a shot for quite some time. Yes, there is Freud in it, but no psychoanalysis, but there are many well-known characters in many movies with no professional effect, there is not the word therapy in the original German title, therefore the traslation is a bit misguiding and yet, the character of Freud is not senseless but important for the movie as the joint to bring all the characters together, to make the story possible as is, e.g. With all the reflection talk (and I did like the play on words a lot), and this is also some fresh idea added to the vampire movie tropes, which I - as a vampire fan - did also enjoy a lot, because these are classic typical vampire movie ingredients you want to see as a fan. And there are -besides the vampire actors - the wonderful David Bennent and Lars Rudolph on top - what more can you ask for? An enjoyable, classic and yet somewhat fresh take on vampire stories - wonderful!
