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".
当同志的爱情走到40代的时候 需要讨论的便不再是激情 是今天的晚餐、明天的早餐 是越发稀疏的头发和不愿面对但终将面对的生离死别 的确太多同志电影在讲述美好、讲述悲伤和快乐了 但是《昨日的美食》绝对是我心中很强的同志番 因为那是很多人都不想要面对的 真实的日常 “是的 我们也都老了呀”
果然一个亲亲都没有～
Sure it's a romantic thing to say that I love you but love is endure so I will leave you so we can be together forever when we we're in paradise, that I can believe for the both of us. But it's so harsh and cruel to bear. 小成本电影，一切都是简单的样子，但胜在真诚。
剧版的那点小清新小确幸消散之后，影版就只剩下做作了
依旧的清水美食，平平淡淡，但比电视剧多了更多恋爱的感觉，总算像个家庭而不是搭伙过日子了，两个人互相照顾互相担心的小日常也是羡慕，中老年生活也算有了点盼头，但是为啥连亲都不能有一个？
对于新体系内部的控制刻画太少了，比较失去力度。
這狗糧吃得非常舒爽 就是都拍到映畫了 還不親一下？
看的时候想起了《Disobedience》，信仰的力量这么强大吗?
这些乱七八糟的宗教对人思想的禁锢真是不遗余力，颜值➕1
另一半和自己的父母之间的关系，似乎是个永恒的课题，这不关乎性别和年龄。每一方都是自己的家人，偏向其中任何一方，都会伤害到另一方。而关系的缓和不能只是中间者的努力，还需要双方家人的理解和包容。没错，作为一个已婚已育夹在和被夹在中间的中年人，看到的不是美食片（大雾）而是家庭伦理片。贤二的扮演者内野桑，真的越老越有味道。明明演技需要他娘里娘气，但眼神认真起来雄性荷尔蒙爆棚MAX，色气简直溢出屏幕。同性之间的眼神总是让人欲罢不能，满足了！
天哪 T^T 影院那段莫名开始狂哭(꒦⌓꒦ ) tension简直
虽然我认为剧版更好看，但是西岛叔的温柔不可抵挡。没什么是美食不能治愈的，“少吃盐，八分饱，我们要长命百岁。”
虽说宗教姬的be感很浓，心理建设了但结局还是大破防，尤其是M说我一个人的信仰就能支撑我们两个人了，dear lord，赐我接下来的姬片都甜到爆吧！
好多好吃的啊，日常的生活，人活着，先满足喜欢的胃，一起赏樱花，风动，情动，相守的日常
他耶和华的 说了多少遍 不要喜欢上有男朋友的bi 那些都是bi的臭把戏 跟宗教信仰沾边的都带点脑子 爱情打不过信仰的！
其实剧情是有点神叨的宗教部分，不过画面太美，人也好看，俩人也挺有cp感。
4分，一部新的女同电影，并没有什么惊喜，反倒是电影配乐还给人一种紧张感，这可能是这个电影为数不多的惊喜
看片磕糖真真提心吊胆，事实证明，曾经有多甜，编剧扎刀子时就有多痛。以及，违背人性压抑欲望的宗教，终会自取灭亡。Y
太滑稽了 为了来世可以幸福 这世怎么委屈自己都行 j为什么会喜欢一个这样的人 我不理解 m鱼和熊掌都想要 j居然还n次退让 我可真是服了 j真的妥妥的新世界备胎
