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".
空白》是吉田惠辅执导的原创电影，由古田新太、松坂桃李共同主演。影片以“全员被害者·全员加害者”的设定，讲述了因扒窃未遂而在逃跑时遭遇车祸的女中学生的父亲，责问这起事件的关系者，这部电影还是蛮不错的
主人公偏执的性格使全片氛围压抑，然而是不断继续伤害还是放过别人，直到全片的转折点主人公与女肇事者母亲的对话给出答案。不是令人舒服的电影，但通过事件对人物的写实刻画是值得一看的。古田新太真的和kouhei描述的一样是个好多变有厚度的演员 怎么说 温柔与野性兼具？保持空白来看空白吧 或许会有不一样的体验
最后像海豚的云的画出现的时候压抑的情绪都化成泪了
死去的人让活着的人是更无助还是更认清了自己，消逝的生命重击哪些原本似乎麻木的灵魂，赎罪终究是为了自我救赎，难以原谅他人或许是不肯原谅自己，死亡能让活着的人更清醒的看到自我生命的样子和活着的意义吗？
人世间，每个人都很孤苦很无助，或暴怒、或忍耐、或自责、或厌世、或放下...
父亲道出的一个永恒的困惑：“别人是怎么跟自己和解的呢？”
第一次带蜜桃起电影院，去之前有点担心两岁半的她看不懂或者太震耳欲聋或者她会睡着什么的……结果一切意外状况都没有发生，她看得很开心，回家的路上还会主动讲出“有猫猫，猫猫身上有皮皮（其实是人家的变形机甲哈哈）”。不错，剧情简单，节奏明快，有欢笑有感动，蜜桃还说，有个女的，流眼lui了……笑死，我宝的口音怎么肥事。宝贝说，下次还想去看电影。讲道理这部给我的感觉就是技术非常到位了，熊二那毛茸茸的感觉好像很好rua！
金鸡国际影片单元，观影体验太差了，忍不住大骂，5排中间那个男生你好意思嘛
一场悲剧事故引发了之后的连环悲剧，虽然结尾有些过于刻意，但还是被感动得稀里哗啦（桃李最近是什么悲惨专业户吗
通过一个意外来展示各种人的性格，各种极端，还附带发挥一下媒体的作用，整体剧情蛮无聊的。
熊出没能走到今天，说明它塑造的几个角色是成功的，剧场版一直在吸取，把时下最热的网进去，莱尔特族重回地球去南极寻根，说不定跟氪星人有关，六耳猫咪跟六耳猕猴可能还是亲戚，外形却像刺猬索尼克，机甲大战，月球漫步，梦露的裙子，牛魔王夫妇。
《空白》的导演吉田惠辅很会拍关于和解的故事。《麦子小姐》是女儿与母亲的和解，《犬猿》是兄弟姐妹间的和解，而《空白》是社会恩怨中人与他人和自己的和解，可能是其中最沉重的之一。和解的结局削弱了影片的力度，但我宁愿相信导演并非不能免俗，而是坚持自己心中理想主义的野望。
对于电影本身，热闹，励志，是一部有童趣有正能量的影片！
内核不错 但是太压抑了 感觉全片没有谁是正常人 或许大家都正常了 也就没有故事可讲了
家长与子女的关系 无良媒体 恨的边界与尺度 ……
涂透明的甲油是对青春的热爱，画远行的帆船是对亲情的眷恋，她生时不受重视，死亡却掀起有关人性的惊涛骇浪。那疾疾奔走的媒体，是血泊里讨食的野兽，那歇斯底里的老父，是年轻生命的判官。唯有可怜的直人，不断用至诚的叩拜与道歉诘问，谁该为偷窃导致的意外买单？
故事非常有社会话题性，但处理得仍限于话题。日本电影越来越沉溺于独有的一种文艺气质（包括影像上的审美），太不屑于渲染，太偏好留白
没有纠缠于故事情节，而是沉浸在情感的细腻之中。每个人展示给别人的都是一面，而其他面，是空白的吗？女儿、店主、女店员，肇事自杀者、她的母亲，老师和老师们，父亲......在那些空白之处，又该重新涂抹上些什么色彩？那个讨要炸鸡柳的小伙子，你真棒。
生活这么累 快和自己和解吧 释怀吧 总得向前看。非常喜欢的题材 压抑的程度刚刚好。结尾非常赞👍🏻
