>>6095120>trans / cross-dressing subtext in Le Vourdalak French vampire filmWhat is happening for background context of this pic related scene:
>>6095120A French aristocratic nobleman/diplomat was waylaid on the road of some Eastern European country, he loses his horse and entourage and baggage and is forced to stay with a mysterious peasant family.
The peasants are being attacked / pillaged by Turks and the peasant family elderly patriarch departs on a revenge mission for retribution, he beheads the marauder leader but when he returns he appears to have become a Vourdalak (ghoul-vampire), feeding on the blood of his grandchild.
One of the patriarch's sons (he is portrayed as an effeminate cross-dressing / transgender disturbed son) finally confronts the family patriarch, his father, over his vampiric nature, and tries to expose / overthrow him. The elderly patriarch / Vourdalak ghoul-vampire then raises his arquebus and shoots him in the head, killing the transvestite son instantly lol
I think this has some interesting social commentary subtext (implying that the trans agenda "social justice" style activism agitation can never expose / successfully overthrow the hierarchy of vampiric / patriarchal oppression etc, it is just completely ineffectual) in fact one of the clever elements of this French film I noticed is that it subverts the "aristocratic nobleman vampire" archetype, the French aristocrat diplomat person arrives coincidentally at the same time as the peasant patriarch vampiric reveal, but for most of the film he is just an effete and blundering decadent bystander / observer to the unfolding eerie peasant family folklore horror
