Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
私人回忆又不注重故事叙事该怎么建立共情还是需要不断探索的事情/看着美又累 太多设计过的镜头 仰拍 进一步割裂了本来就不强的情感连接 分成短片或许还行 放一起作为长片实在不太行
黑白格调，有历史感的同时不失唯美，儿童视角，动乱冲突依然看到儿时的快乐和对故乡的留恋。似乎也就能想到这些，还有就是英式英语吧（大概）。7/10分
三星。头尾两幕处理的不错，然而第二幕近乎崩塌。黑白摄影和故乡这种私人化的情节处理不由得让人想到卡隆的《罗马》。《罗马》是克制且冷静的，《贝尔法斯特》则滑向了它的反面——肯尼思布拉纳似乎不知何为节制，各种意义不明的琐事和迷影情节拼接在一起，想要在各种程度上表现出他对故乡对个人往事的情感，却最终落入过度的自我陶醉之中。
Kenneth Branagh有一个金子般的童年，父慈母爱，学习好还有漂亮女孩子喜欢
黑白的质感非常好，以为会很惊心动魄，但只有简单离别，从一个男孩的角度，确确实实只存在这些小细节。
一星半；毫无才气的作品，通篇只看到对《罗马》的拙劣模仿和各种MV串烧，细节浮皮潦草，人物形象扁平，导演没有能力交待清楚贝尔法斯特的时代背景，只能用老电影片段、新闻播报将自己破碎的童年记忆和时代信息塞给观众，既笨拙又浅薄。电影转场和故事推进基本靠播放歌曲MV的形式，也充分暴露了导演对电影语言把握上的无知
这小男孩怎么这么油腻
布拉纳赶快下场吧……回去养老吧！
讲故事的方式和故事本身都中规中矩，一部传统而温柔的电影，四星。然后：作为一个不停地搬家的，习惯背井离乡的人，时而不时地被各种细节打动，加半星。片尾朱迪丹奇的大特写额外再加半星。（这是一条纯粹出于独断和偏见的短评）
很喜欢 是我一直都想要的周正的构图！！！

片中父亲提出要举家搬迁到英格兰生活，却遭到母亲坚决反对，反对理由是不想让孩子因为爱尔兰口音被同龄人嘲讽，但实际上是母亲自己不愿离开故乡。作为中国人，这就根本不是个问题。这种情况放在国内，还争什么啊，父母全都去海对岸工作了，留个祖孙相依为命的留守家庭。
1.13补标
最值得记忆的点，基本上就是最后那一刻的奶奶，在琉璃门后面的脸。同为小孩作为主角的电影，童一个世界对于视角的态度比此片先锋许多。中规中矩，音乐不免对情感有反作用了。
故事剧情有点普通，好喜欢爷爷奶奶的部分，最后一段太好哭了简直。一颗星给摄影，一直在猛截图
其实任何作者在拍给家乡的电影都会因为很浓的情绪没法评价，在我心中（罗马）是封神的。本片只能拿45分。
3.5星。很《罗马》，但绝对逊于《罗马》。小孩很可爱，以至于整部影片都随着小孩的视角可爱起来了。
电影拍得很好。很多镜头让人过目难忘、意无穷。比如小男孩站在街对面，看着自己的梦中女孩对着窗，梳着一头金色长发，窗映出女孩的脸，不知女孩是在看自己、还是看对面的人。再比如爷爷去世后，满脸皱纹的奶奶看着对面街的巴士，跟儿子对视，用唇语说着“GO，dont look back”慢慢地，也不用离奇的剧情、煽情的对白，眼泪早就打起了转。个人认为比《roma》更引人共情。
说到底还是私人情调加分了，问题出在简单的不像回事啊~
不知道为什么很多人会不喜欢，私以为这是今年最有可能拿到奥斯卡最佳影片的作品。作者拍出了一个平实朴素的故乡，各种角色都非常鲜活，小男孩的甜美纯真可爱让人仿佛见到了童年的玩伴，爷爷教孙子去追女孩也让人忍俊不禁。而且台词动人且节奏非常好。不知道为什么大家要去和《罗马》比，导演的经历和路数本来就不一样，为什么拍黑白的故乡就要拿来比较呢？怎么不和《八月》比？不和《伊万的童年》比？我觉得比较的对象应该是和肯洛奇的《男孩与鹰》以及《这就是英格兰》这样的作品。依旧是英国工薪阶层对童年和故乡的挽歌。不足之处是有些地方音乐铺太满，而且最后的升华也有些刻意了，但映射到现实中的乌俄冲突之下，也许可以坐等拿奖。
