Empire V with director and screenwriter Victor Ginzburg

Published: Nov. 2, 2023, 3 p.m.

I watched this film, based on a novel by Victor Pelevin, as part of this years Screamfest. It is not your typical vampire film in any way, more of a romance story, but very interesting. I found out in the interview that Sharon Stone was originally going to be in it, how crazy is that. The film is about a 19-year-old nobody receives an invitation to join an elite and powerful society of vampires in Moscow.\n\nEmpire V Cocktail:\nVictor suggested a bloody mary but with red absinthe and spices, or moonshine. The moonshine would probably taste better and is easier to obtain, I've only seen red absinthe in Europe.\n\nDrinking Game:\nAccording to Victor, there are no rules, so drink when you decide to.\n\nAs always, drink responsibly and with friends.
