Review of Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) by David Edelstein for New York Magazine (Vulture) — 10 Apr 2014
Do I detect a note of self-satire in Jarmusch’s undead? I’d like to think he’s poking fun at his own stylized, white-boy cool. But underneath, of course, he’s deadly serious. A ruined metropolis, a snatch of dialogue about coming water wars, a poisoned blood supply: The garden of Adam and Eve is despoiled beyond remedy.
This is a charming dirge, though.
