Directed by Albert Serra, Story of My Death (2013) is an austere historical drama that imagines a symbolic encounter between Casanova and Dracula in late-18th-century Europe. The film abandons conventional narrative in favor of ritualistic dialogue, extended stillness, and philosophical confrontation. Its tone is meditative and unsettling, using mythic figures to explore decay, mortality, and the end of an era.

Award-winning Catalan filmmaker Albert Serra has established himself as one of the most original and iconoclastic voices in contemporary cinema.

His deliciously eccentric film The Story of My Death (winner of the prestigious Golden Leopard prize at the 2013 Locarno Film Festival) imagines a meeting between the ageing Casanova and Count Dracula to chart the collision between the eighteenth century of Enlightenment, rationalism and libertine sensuality and a nineteenth century founded upon Romanticism, obscurantism and violence.

Story of My Death is a singular work, and its originality is apparent in every frame... This is a film of dazzling vitality and animation
The Village Voice

Story of My Death is a truly esoteric and unique work, something contemporary, yet totally free of constraints of time and space. The trappings might be historical and mythical, but [Serras] playground is cinematic language
CinemaScope

Vivaciously minimalist but visually breathtaking, its a rarefied cinematic luxury
