Yesterday I Lived Forever

About This Movie

So, there's this intriguing little gem called 'Yesterday I Lived Forever.' It has this moody, surreal vibe that's almost dreamlike. The animation, while not the smoothest, gives off this raw, hand-crafted feel that really draws you into Dracula's bizarre predicament. You see him drifting through an endless, bright world, which is a stark contrast to what you’d expect from a vampire tale. The introduction of The Golden Woman and The Black Crow shifts the tone, almost like a wake-up call for him. It's all about existential themes and the hunger for life—or, in his case, blood. The pacing can feel a tad slow at times, but it’s that very pacing that lets you soak in the atmosphere and the subtle emotional currents at play.

This film is quite rare in collector circles, with only a handful of prints known to exist. It hasn't seen many re-releases, making it a bit of a mystery for those searching for unique animation. The peculiar themes and stylistic choices make it a talking point among collectors, even if it's not widely recognized. If you come across it, it's worth a deeper look.
