Both of Eastern European origin, both nocturnal, both seventeen for a suspiciously long time, Purity & Danger address accusations of vampirism. Hoping to find a love greater than death, the girls look to Sweden’s favourite child-vampire romance, Let the Right One In, and Park Chan-wook’s Thirst, in which a Korean priest and his girlfriend enact a vampire Thérèse Raquin. From their castle in Notting-Hill-vania, Sylvie and Dora ponder Sheridan le Fanu, the vampire lothario, the eunuch, psychic vampirism and Russell Brand's decline and fall.
