As I was preparing some lovely pasta and mixing my dear cats' food, I thought of a lovely film my readers might enjoy. It is called Vampyr: Der Traum des Allan Grey and it is a lovely little film by Carl Dreyer (whom you may know from his The Passion of Joan of Arc fame). It is a bit older than the more famous, though undeservedly so, Nosferatu. I bring up this subject as there appears to be a mild furor in the States, according to my niece, over the paranormal.
I look forward with great enthusiasm to watching this gem once more. On occasion, when the moon is decidedly full, I think my cats are such "creatures of the night" as they lurk in bed yawning and mewing slightly. My dinner will be a quiet one, my favorite mode of eating. All this tradition of eating with such noise and conversation I really cannot fathom. Why would one wish food so decidedly distracted with company and other people? Fortunately, I do not make such a sacrifice and instead I can eat quietly and watch a little of Vampyr.
Here is a short clip:
