LMAO!!
Watched this movie about a year ago.
Truly, that is the most hipster movie I've ever seen. This movie is the epitome of hipster culture.
I can imagine how it was produced: a bunch of hipster cinematography graduates gathered round and said: "Hmmm, we need to make a movie. But we need it to be exquisite. We need it to be different. We need it to be noir!"
"Vampire love story?"
"Yes! We need something more though. Not unusual enough!"
"Shoot it in black and white?"
"Yes! Great! But that's not enough! We need authenticity! Something nobody did before!"
"Set it in Iran and make the entire movie in Farsi?"
"Yes yes yes! Now we're going places!"
I liked the movie, but good lord. I can bet money that this is the conversation they had while deciding to make it.
