A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night was shot over the course of twenty-four days, in the town of Taft in Kern County in southern California. Artsy fartsy at its "best", nicely filmed and with some interesting choices of music, but with no plot to speak of and several scenes that just keep dragging on. Residents of a worn-down Iranian city encounter a skateboarding vampire who preys on men who disrespect women. Stay up-to-date on all the latest Rotten Tomatoes news!

She looks to be her employer, as Ashar is doing a little gardening. She looks like she has had a nose surgery job and an obnoxious brat. She is on her mobile phone speaking to somebody about going out. Arash sees a pair of earring and thinks of stealing them to pay for his father's bills.

In a crime of opportunity, Arash steals a pair of diamond earrings from the wealthy young woman he works for, Shaydah. Hybridity sits at the heart of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Just as the vampire figure occupies a liminal space between life and death, the film, too, exists in a liminal space. The Persian-language film is set in Iran but shot in America. This sense of in-betweenness also manifests in the film’s genre, which borrows from horror, spaghetti Westerns, coming-of-age stories, and even hints of comedy.

Visually and musically a cotton-candy fest. It reminds me atmospherically of spike lee's summer of sam minus the dialogue. Despite it not being wholly solid or a classic it's a fervent reminder of why cinema should NEVER become what hollywood is. Verified reviews are considered more trustworthy by fellow moviegoers.

There is a little boy wearing a ragged coat who is a witness to everything, an innocent bystander to the corrupt and horrifying events of Bad City going on right before his eyes. Jim Jarmusch's "Only Lovers Left Alive" created a nocturnal dreamspace of love and old age, and music and survival, with two soul mates meeting up again and again throughout the endless abyss of time. Saeed and the Girl cross paths on a deserted street at night. He throws away his cigarette and speaks to her. He makes a sign with his head and takes the Girl to his apartment.
He finds Saeed dead, and takes back his car keys along with a suitcase of drugs and cash. Arash decides to sell the drugs, allowing him to quit his job working for Shaydah. Later, he goes to a costume party at a night club dressed up as Dracula, where he is persuaded by Shaydah into taking one of the ecstasy pills he is selling.

Amirpour’s vampire, then, is the embodiment of a hybrid figure who exists somewhere between the cultural references of America and Iran, between life and death, always in between.
The Girl was passing down and she feels that they are both going to overdose, probably because Masuka is watching everything.She jumps in from outside the window and pushes Hossein away from Atti. Atti and the cat see as the Girl feeds on Hossein. Atti doesn't look particularly terrified.She helps the Girl to get rid of the body. They are scared of a shadow from inside a window. The following morning Hossein is freaking out.
The film’s American- and Western-ness is further established by the spaghetti Western musical score that plays underneath it all. The score functions as the heartbeat of the film, placing this work firmly in European and Western genre conventions and traditions. Shortly before The Girl appears in the scene, we watch two characters, Saeed and Atti , in a car. Saeed represents the cliché pimp, covered in tasteless tattoos (such as “SEX” across his throat and “jakesh,” or “pimp,” on his scalp). Atti is a prostitute who works for him, the victim of both Saeed and the patriarchal society of Bad City.
It was chosen to show in the "Next" program at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. And then there is the vampire, known as Girl . The shadows are so pitch-black that she is able to stalk the streets in her full chador practically undetected. She hides almost completely in the liquidy black, revealing herself to her victims from across the wide expanse of vacant lots or abandoned parks.
At one point, she skateboards down the middle of an empty dark street, her chador flowing behind her like gigantic black bat wings. The Pimp thinks she might be a prospective streetwalker and invites her back to his place, turning up the techno music, laying out lines of coke on the table. She stands motionless in the background, a shrouded, staring figure. People do not understand what she is or who she is, until it is too late. In many ways, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night feels like an American genre film. For instance, the opening sequence introduces us to the character of Arash , whose white T-shirt and jeans, sideburns, and vintage Ford Thunderbird evoke an explicit James Dean aesthetic.
The Girl says that they can't sit down in the middle of the street, but he could go to her home as she lives nearby, but Arash is felling so badly that he can't walk. The Girl pushes him on her skate and takes him to her home. Arash takes some hot soup to Hossein, but his father is rude and only wants his "medicine", that is, his drug dose.

He immediately resorts to snort cocaine and turns the music up. He unbuttons his sweatshirt and showcases his dance moves. The Girl doesn't reply, and seems interested in looking at the decoration of the flat. When he caresses her mouth, her fangs can be seen. She smiles at him seductively and takes seductively his finger in her mouth.
