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".
冲着高桥和奈绪 给五星 原著党还是有私心的
文学性极强，甚至不惜插入大量旁白来让故事顺畅，可这种每个人在情感里都错付的苦情故事，在我看来真是无聊透顶，包括演员和没有台词的高良健吾都无亮点。
前面已經鬆鬆散散講了那麼一大堆了 為什麼最後還要以駒子的視角再來回顧一邊啊
很显然，川端先生的作品，也是不能影视化的，但因为演员都是我喜欢的演员，美术和服装也挺喜欢，于是，穿过长长的隧道，便是雪国……
深深的徒劳，一直永存的违和感，雪国，那是穿过隧道才能到的地方。说走就走的男人，尤其生活奢侈态度随便的。女人无法接受贫穷，最善良的人最会被磨难。虚无在力量面前也是有机会被击穿的。奈绪是越来越会演戏了，收得很到位。
拍出了静默，没拍出细腻，如果是2个多小时的电影肯定会比这个只有90分钟的SP强很多。满篇的徒劳，满篇的爱不得，恨别离，怨憎会，悲伤的牵强，疯的牵强
高桥一生偶尔演演这样的角色还挺好玩的，只是奈绪真的不适合“纯洁的姑娘”这样的描述，眼神中充满了心机，虽然不能这么评判一个演员，但还是很有影响的。任性的，心机的，捉摸不透的。
觉得电影只是小说的平白直叙，没有抓到雪国的精髓
让我想起了刚看完小说时候的心情，那些挥之不去的好似来自雪国的冷意；但，电影明显情绪没到位，没有足够的留白，小说可以用文字描述氛围和剧情，但电影不能这样。
艹艹艹也太好看了吧！年度惊喜！果断五星！好久没看到这样的磨坊电影了，体验太好了哇！唯一没猜到的是枪杀竟用了两次。在获取满足感之外，它详实的社会文化背景，film on film，观众学的内在基础，还有一个在同类电影中很突出的主题参照。(刚看完夜场一出影院路边就有一个坐着的老太太对着我微笑，说实话真有点脊背凉凉的感觉了…)
爱情大多数时候都是徒劳【奈绪太好看了！！！
內容空洞，視聽也不夠華彩，作為一個A24粉我都看不下去了，很久沒給A24系的恐怖片打差評了，上一次這麼幹還是《皮囊之下》那部電影，這部也值得，不過它是名副其實的倒數第一。
天啊！不知道原著是不是跟电影一样？连故事都讲不清楚。就这都能得诺贝尔文学奖？？？
奈绪没有撑起来真是太遗憾了，其他都过得去，叙事手法我也可以，但凡奈绪再入味一点我都不会觉得这么隔靴搔痒，偏偏我还是因为奈绪看的，倒是对以前的版本有了兴趣。没看过原作，但是原作的强大完全感受到了。
以黄片桥段做铺垫，引出一对老人杀人魔，收尾的草草了事。有点小创意，就是太重口，拿老年人开涮。小舞蹈那段升华一下，顶多是个致敬片。5
好看呐，虽然情节可预知性略高，但就是喜欢这一挂拷问观者的电影。精准的景别调度+预先张扬的炸弹时刻+类型元素拼接+连接影像与现实/恐惧与欲望的匹配剪辑（尤其是情绪高潮点的几次频闪式剪辑，击打观者内心的同时也指向了正反两位主角的二位一体，太棒了）以及某种精神污染式的“反凝视”，再到最后以“分级标志”呈现的片名完成闭环，在戏谑中直面爱和欲望的本质。BTW，查了一下，老太太果然也是Mia Goth演的，她在红光中起舞的那段一度看哭了
高中的时候看川端康成的短篇就被狠狠地恶心到了
爱情大多数时候都是徒劳【奈绪太好看了！！！
终于看了电影的#《雪国》#，凉丝丝的物哀与幽玄是有的，若论无边无涯的徒劳与虚无，感觉完全不及川端康成以及汉字川端文学之父叶渭渠的文字。刚搜了下，网上包括知乎、起点，全是付费阅读。被人买断，我也早已不属于我。拿自己做的终极版这样截图，应该可以的吧。
無為徒食の島村と貧乏は嫌と殴り書いた駒子。お金さえあれば素直でいられるんだかな。喜欢几处手部刻画，感觉叶子和驹子互换下角色会更合适
