Drama. Fantasy The Story of My Death depicts a time of transition from the rationalism of the end of the 18th century to the romanticism of the beginning of the 19th century, revealed through sexuality and day-to-day life. Casanova and Dracula, two ''historical'' characters, are the representives of these two worlds.

	Author	Review
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A fanciful project that's tantalizing on paper but largely DOA on screen."	NEU
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Serra's vampire is an expressive creature of chaos, a description one could equally apply to the movie itself."	POS
United States	Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"An alchemical experiment well worth witnessing."	POS
United States	Richard Brody The New Yorker	"Brings exotic passions of the eighteenth century to furious life."	POS
United States	Dennis Lim Los Angeles Times	"Against a backdrop of candlelit conversation and barnyard carnality, Serra sets in motion contrasting ideas about pleasure and desire, alternating between winding philosophical dialogue and wordless passages of savage beauty."	POS
