Well worth your time. A pre-Code potboiler storyline told in a distinctively dreamy, inventive manner. Points the way to the French Nouvelle Vague.

Jurgen Ardnt as Marcel Proust and Eve Mattes as Proust's real-life maid/muse Celeste Albaret in Percy Adlon's moving biographical drama CELESTE (1980) Marcel Proust was BOTD in 1871. He inspired a very funny Monty Python sketch and had a knack for remembering things.

An aggressively lowbrow, E.T.-ified sequel to the 1985 original, with too much time spent on the friendship between a cute little human girl and a little vampire boy. I do admire the cast's fervent commitment to looking as silly/stupid as possible. And the fight scenes are just out of this world.
