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".
故事一般，父亲死了去继承遗产连墓地都不去看一眼？父子关系、和女主的微妙情感原本可以很好的串联，却毁在了杂乱无序，好在呆梨的风光和奶酪令人无法抗拒，就当舌尖上的托斯卡纳来看吧~ PS，原来欧洲人也会吃鸽子。。。
莫名其妙………… 什么时候假日恋人都值得用这么长的篇幅自我感动了
为什么最后读信的时候还要对着观众说话啊！最煽情的地方变得好出戏。
跟着电影去旅行。丹麦米其林大厨到托斯卡纳继承遗产——一座老旧城堡。这里除了有阳光、美景，漂亮的食材，还有童年好友，以及自己与父亲的爱恨。本来我以为片名中的“爱”是指父子之情和童年小伙伴间的友谊，结果非要让马上结婚的小伙伴爱上丹麦厨子，并为此离婚，而且明明是发小意大利律师更帅气，这里的安排还是很牵强的。在损失了大几十万欧元后，丹麦厨子把团队搬到了意大利，谁能拒绝地中海的美丽呢？美景有一些，美食不太多，老外吃橄榄油太猛了。我有点好奇丹麦厨子和丹麦短发女是啥关系，合作伙伴？
这剧情一个小时讲完足以......一个灾难冒险故事里如果没有足够吸引人的大转折是不配称为“故事”的
特别爆米花的灾难电影，这么没有深度的电影，按理说不该死人的。冲成社长和长颈鹿，加了很多亲切滤镜，真不敢相信是《华丽的度假》导演导的。
很好笑，很感动，韩国人真的好喜欢拍这种夸张剧
好烂的剧，意大利剧怎么都这么扯😂男女主前一秒还在吵架，后一秒就看对眼了，结婚前一晚还搞上了…男主厨也贼烦人，菜不摆成米其林状就难以吞咽？还有还有，婚礼晚宴发言的好像应该是新娘新郎，和主厨有个毛线关系🧶 最后，很后悔19年在罗马没有买金币挂坠因为现在才发现这坠子好TM Fashion ！
没有啥新意，开始交代一下众人的关系，然后灾难开始“人性的考验”
这片的优势是喜剧元素，都是人才，灾难片里带点搞笑，还挺有意思。
作为轻喜剧6分，
达妹实在没有奥斯汀女主气质，意在创新的主角monologue让娴静内敛克制隐忍的Anne周身透着居高临下的清高，深情变成轻浮。强行黑白配的选角让人崩溃，失败的改编They say the universe always has a plan. You’re young, u don’t know what the future has in store. You’ll rally & be happy again. No life is without worry. Don’t let anyone tell u how to live, or who to love. Do u know whose company I enjoy? My own.
emmm… 两星给toscana的风景和美食
真棒，开篇看到个黑人贵妇就惊到我了？？？原著作者估计要从坟墓里气醒了，这故事跟我小时候看的小说完全没关系。编剧这么爱现代性爱编故事干嘛要顶着个原著的皮做改编呢，直接自己署名出小说就好了。祝欧美在政治正确下越来越戏精，完全意淫于自己编造的各类浪漫历史中。
蛮标新立异的，舞台感很强，服装设计很花心思，确实反应了这个时代而非还原十九世纪当时的感觉
这种结局——“我要不到的一律是我不想要的”——通通两星以下。
轻松幽默的氛围，却在中段灾难发生后变得无趣贫弱。整部电影的丰富与精彩程度。
与其说是风景美丽的爱情片，不如说是人到中年自我反省救赎影片。片中两人的拥吻我觉得只是气氛与环境所致，并非真正的爱情。还好影片最后没有落入两人在一起的俗套的电影情节。
这种一边进行剧情一边欢快旁白的电影是真的烦
