This haunting portrait of a beautiful girl's emergence into womanhood is a ravishingly beautiful dream film in which horror and sexuality mix with tenderness and innocence.
Valerie, the heroine, discovers the world is not what it seems after she gets a pair of magical earings. Her quaint little village is actually a haven for blood-sucking vampires. Her kindly grandmother is really an evil old crone. The local farmers are lechers, and the priest harbors strange desires.
Valerie and Her Week of Wonders is a horror story with a nest of vampires, a bewitching fairy tale about a young girl's coming of age, and a provocative political allegory. This is one of the most sought-after cult films - sensual, beautiful, mysterious.
