Le Vampire

A creative Youtuber uploaded a reworked video of Jean Painleve's Le Vampire this past summer. The refitted short utilizes unearthly music by Modest Mouse as an atmospheric supplement to old clips of the notorious vampire bat and other all-too-real parasites. While this Painleve work was the product of his biology studies, his attempt to blur science with art overlaps well with the weird aesthetic. At least, I find this retooled version of Le Vampire unsettling and hypnotic.
