Octogenarian cult director Ulrike Ottinger, in collaboration with Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek, presents 'The Blood Countess,' a vibrant and outlandish refutation of the vampire myth starring Isabelle Huppert as a 'queer' vampire queen.

Actor Lars Eidinger discusses his initial desire for Isabelle Huppert's vampire role in 'The Blood Countess' and his eventual casting as the vampire's therapist.

Isabelle Huppert stars in 'The Blood Countess,' a film by Ulrike Otinger that offers a fictionalized, macabrely humorous portrait of the notorious Hungarian noblewoman Elizabeth Báthory.
