Review of Blood & Donuts (1995) by David C — 26 Apr 2008

B&D is a sublime, surrealist comedy of the human spirit. A romantic and yet harshly realist presentation of the vampire character; a somewhat unique one as well. It's about possibilities, choices and living with yourself as you truly are. Thought provoking, with an array of eccentric characters but yet so well done that just for a moment you could imagine this going on just down the street.

Another rare treat from the bombardment of unoriginal, market-driven dribble that pervades North America's film industry. This is a Canadian film, a country which really doesn't have a sizable film industry, and opens up the doors to good things you'll rarely find at your local Blockbuster.

I won't ruin the ending for you, but it's perfect.
