Tim Forbes recommended Love Affair, or the Case of the Missing Switchboard Operator (1967) in Movies (curated)

"Possessed of incisive humor and an uncanny knack for startling juxtaposition, Dušan Makavejev uses a veritable crazy quilt of stylistic elements to create an affecting portrait, at once funny and heartbreaking, of a romance gone awry, while at the same time lambasting the conventions and pretenses of society, including, not least, the constraints of narrative cinema itself."

"It has all these blue-eyed, blonde little children who aren’t really from here. George Sanders plays the father who eventually has to lead the children to try to save society, after a meteor passes, and all of a sudden every female in the town is pregnant. I think that’s an amazing opening for a movie, and it’s smart."

"“I’m lucky to have spent my childhood in the Middle Ages, or, as Huysmans described it, that ‘painful and exquisite’ epoch—painful in terms of its material aspects, perhaps, but exquisite in its spiritual life. What a contrast to the world of today!” Luis Buñuel always reminds us of what we’re constantly losing in this rotten society."

The protagonist of this novella is Jonathan, a vampire, who is trying to blend in into society, and this book is told from his perspective. I really liked the main character, he is charismatic and very human-like. I enjoyed his thoughts and feelings, it was quite surprising to see how much warmth and love a vampire can have.
