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".
两个小时的MV，人生海海，太阳照常升起。
善良是职责，要用一生去完成。善良是鲜花，要用清水去浇灌。善良是烛光，要用心火去点燃。善良是珍珠，要用道德去购买。
喜欢 日期也很妙 每年今日讲完了一整个故事
但是 能想起来的可能也就只有这些了。
故事本身 可能需要私人经历共鸣吧 我反正觉得太长了...
B+不错，挺好的，倒叙所展现的情感也表现出来了，有的段落拍的挺迷人的，让我会心一笑，当然一些情节设计还是稍显刻意了，结尾不太喜欢，其实就停在他们初次认识的那天晚上，就留在那个舞蹈的小巷子里，其他留白，情绪真的就挺好的了，现在这个它为了完成一个规整的闭环，又回到开始了，对我来说情绪就有点下去了，
不只是稍微想起一些的碎片。每次热烈过后的消失，留下的都是夜以继日的幻灯片，无论跨越了多长时间。以及，好想当一个打工人生活。
稍微想起一起 想起了花束 想起密度蓝 池松壮亮这几年接到的片子还都不错

2022年最佳。全篇是用倒叙视角，因为后面恋爱的痕迹，所以会让人期待，痕迹怎样发生。我们是如此简单地进入他人的生活，然后忍不住想要和她一起跳舞，看海洋生物，在巷子里漫游，在天台放烟花，在沙发上突然的表白，拉住你不想让你回家。爱是忍不住靠近，爱不是该被理智打败的东西。
他人の人生の一部を見届けたような気がしてた(´･ ･`)
刚认识的时候“反正以后不会再见面了” 真就不再见面了 分手恋人的故事，倒叙的杀伤力太大了 前段看着没感觉，气氛逐渐热烈欢快反而哭出了声音 在同类作品里的艺术水准很高了，也少不了两位主演的功劳。眼眶含泪的亮亮真的杀我
尽管有着相似的故事内核，然而在本片对于生活流敏锐刻画的比较下，《花束》般的日常失真显得多么急躁而缺乏真诚。“稍微想起了一些”本身即意味着一次对于过往的回溯，这一时态以及与之相匹配的叙事手法的选择则大幅帮助影片突破线性时间观的桎梏，进而完成情感的积累与渲染。借由这种回溯，我们也得以重新审视“现在”，正如第一小节所做的那样——大流行病改变的日常与情感剩余的灰烬相伴相随，借由两人的双眼，当下被注视，过往也尽收眼底成为念想。尽管松居的“技巧”在本片中克制稳重很多，但仍然可以看到许多他作品中一以贯之的元素——毕竟他本来就是一位时间流的探索者。
海报简介写7月26是关于男主生日线的故事，没买到昨天的票，买了今天这场。落座时后排两个男生手舞足蹈吃爆米花，一粒落在我头发上一粒掉进我脖子里，两个笑着道歉。35岁生日快乐。
人生就是一列开往坟墓的列车，路途上会有很多站，很难有人可以自始至终陪着走完。当陪着你的人要下车时，即使不舍也该心存感激，然后挥手道别。
结束即开始，倒叙的方式让这段感情更显遗憾和可惜，出色的演员使情感能够被更充沛饱满地呈现，是日本又一部出色的爱情电影。四星。

不知道为什么幻月翻译的是「回到恋爱终结时」，看完搜词条觉得明明这个名字更符合电影的意思啊！不知道是不是没太认真看时间线，两个人分开的原因有点没get到（）不过又在感叹小巷中伴着街头歌手的演奏歌声跳舞这样的瞬间现实中好难得。
虽然把磨宝看呆了但我要说这部还没有展现出松居才华的1/2（暴言
3.5 如果没睡那15-20分钟的话 也搞不好会给3.6… 但讲真男女主真的没有chemistry吧 女主的烟嗓烟到让我有点出戏. 喜欢日本电影关于“日常”的拍摄手法. 果然如果恋爱是一个curve 上坡上到6-7分时是最美好的 仿佛长假开头的两三天 忐忑渐无 体力充沛又信心满满. 最后一幕确实有点shock到 但想想也有点真实.
