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".
too overwhelming to describe the texture of a fragile woman
有关短暂的相逢和珍贵的善意，有时人与人之间的邂逅真的可以这样单纯... 此刻耳机里放着serge gainsbourg，算某种巧合吗？
Charlotte Gainsbourg x Emmanuelle Béart x Noée Abita三代法國女星同台，Amanda導演新作；持續圍繞於他最擅長的場景——巴黎。只是這次回到了1980年代！Charlotte Gainsbourg飾演被丈夫拋棄的單親媽媽，最終在Emmanuelle Béart的協助下，從夜間廣播節目找回了人生新方向。Noée Abita的角色並不吃重，80造型卻十分討喜、青春無敵。作為主競賽角逐影片，Les passagers de la nuit仍欠缺了一點關鍵元素。
“天地如逆旅，我亦是行人。”又一部让我对巴黎产生向往之情的电影。甘斯布好美啊。虽然还是在讲怀旧和迷影情怀，但用得不让人厌烦。音效让人印象深刻。
“这不是我所期望的生活 但我已经尽全力去热爱它了” 在毫无防备的时候 突然意想不到的被戳中 “我懂你爱我” 我的天哪 光下的尘埃总有落定的片刻 那些片段和生活的瞬间 让人猝不及防 这就是生活啊 我们不断passing through.. 在不同路口有不同境遇 这些点点滴滴 构成了我们的生活
文艺但又没有文艺病。 法语里透露出来的亲切感让文艺的基因跳动过。 生命中有人像夜旅人一样来来去去。不一定最终能互相救赎。它可以是子女初长成的故事可以是中年离婚失业的故事也可以是少男破处的故事，总之，平淡无奇又拨人心弦。
真好啊。伊丽莎白有母狮一般的温柔，好温暖。是啊，谁不想坐在摩托车后排把头靠在孩子的后背上，迎接风与今后的生活呢。
为了看这片子近十年来头一次在在线影院网站看渣画质。结果电影中的每一帧每一个音节演员的每一个神采都让人重新找回与巴黎相恋的感觉。
最喜欢的两个法国女神自1999年《圣诞蛋糕》后首次合作，再加上惊艳的新人女二号Abita——她和《圣诞蛋糕》刚好同岁。巴黎这座城市，能够如此温柔地包容一代又一代丰富多彩的女性们。
4.5 细腻真挚，有种夜里塞纳河面灯光般的流动感。一个女性从旧伤中复原新生，生命中来来往往的人有的散失，有的陌路，有的则停留下来。令人更为动容的是，从背景设定，家装设计和人物造型，选用的档案影像和音乐，到影院里放的《圆月映花都》和《北方的桥》，都像是对80年代巴黎的一次饱含深情的回望。
2022-97 如此迷幻的柔光，如怨如慕如泣如诉，是道不清的似水柔情。在千百个如此的夜里，我愿和你一起入梦，不再醒来。
对街边少女的收留很欧洲白人了 sentimental
“天地如逆旅，我亦是行人。”又一部让我对巴黎产生向往之情的电影。甘斯布好美啊。虽然还是在讲怀旧和迷影情怀，但用得不让人厌烦。音效让人印象深刻。
Tallulah好灵啊。好正常的女主一家人（褒义），好舒缓的bgm好强的年代感
#72nd Berlinale# EFM online-主竞赛。7分可以有。片名翻成《巴黎夜行人》可能比较好。很温情的单亲家庭故事（不少场景让人想起《少年时代》，尤其最后搬家那段），不温不火，一点不抓马，对八十年代时代气氛的再现是使用一系列来自老电影等的既得影像素材（画幅不同，片尾有list）的匹配剪辑来实现的（也有新拍的16毫米素材），怀旧气氛也很好传达出来了。也算得上是近来电影节圈里突然热起来的声音相关题材（广播电台），当然最令人会心一笑的是导演是个侯麦粉，直接cue了《圆月映花都》及女主角，当群演那场戏估计也是cue《冬天的故事》。
温和、柔情里有一股子劲在抵抗生活中的种种失意
会有别人眼中的我们，那些碎片，我们曾以为瞥见的，我们的碎片，会有我们的梦来滋养，我们从来都不是相同的，每一次我们都只是外来者，是夜旅人，是他们的想象，就像被留着房间里的旧镜子上的，那些脆弱的阴影。/喜欢这一部原因，明显的：Charlotte，Paris，cinematography。简简单单的故事，平静中讲述，夸Charlotte漂亮，电影元素
看完心里空空的，温暖又带着些伤感，爱上一个夜旅人，但她还是走了，留下美好的回忆
巴黎真是个神奇的地方，让我看出了戏梦巴黎的感觉。真的太喜欢法国电影，最近很久没看过这样的片子了，又看了一遍，让我不得不多给一星。
