It’s Vienna, 1930, and Count von Kozsnom is experiencing marital difficulties after 500 years of matrimony. Seeking the council of Dr. Sigmund Freud, the Count is advised to commission a portrait of his wife from another of the psychoanalyst’s patients, a talented bohemian painter named Viktor. As circumstances would have it, the painter’s waitress-girlfriend, Lucy, is the mirror image of the Count’s long-lost love—a detail that will lead this horror-comedy to veer satisfyingly away from a more expected generic trajectory. For critic Patrick Cooper, the intelligent and subtle Therapy for a Vampire is “a seductive and hilarious take on vampire lore with a script and cast that nails the coffin tight.”
