The Story of My Death

Fantasy period fiction that brings together two colossal figures from the world of literature: the swoon-master Casanova and Count Dracula. From celebrated Catalan filmmaker Albert Serra (Birdsong).

"Riffing on the title of Casanova's autobiography, Story of My Life (generally regarded as one of the most important treatises on eighteenth-century customs), História de la meva mort offers up a deliciously debauched tale as the famous womanizer — known for his expansive intellect and curiosity as much as his erotic exploits — travels with his sensitive servant to an idylic village in southern Carpathia, where his destiny intersects with a mysterious, bearded character. Radically, if quietly, transcending the costume-drama genre, História subverts staidness with its wit, stellar performances and a diffused naturalism." (Toronto International Film Festival)
