Review of Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) by Irvin C — 08 Apr 2014
The answer to the question, what would a Jim Jarmusch vampire movie be like? Well, the "Twilight" franchise may have tarnished the cool factor of an angsty vampire love story but trust Jarmusch to bring back at least some credibility to the sub-genre.
This one's about a pair of music-loving centuries-old vampires reminiscing about the past and lamenting about the current state of humanity. It's not a horror film per se despite some horror elements.
It's closer to "Mystery Train" than "Dracula". It's beautifully acted, occasionally wickedly funny and features a cool soundtrack. It's not my favorite Jarmusch picture but still a solid piece of work from one of cinema's true mavericks.
