How wonderful!
I too think it would make GORGEOUS movie. There is an half-an-hour 1998 adaptation, written by Gerald Wexler to Canadian TV series Hunger. It has effective score, extremely effective Clarimonde with short dark hair instead of long and blonde (similar than Romuald´s, perhaps consciously?) and some effective set design - Clarimonde has a bedroom of gorgeous roses. It does not reach Gautier´s sumptuousness - colors are muted, Clarimonde´s clothing very simple - and there´s some simulated sex and topless nudity, which didn´t bother me. However, Clarimonde was changed (spoilers!)
a sex vampire, a succubus in prey, not a blood vampire in love.
