Review of Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) by Tvjerry — 21 Jun 2014
Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston play centuries-old vampires in this arty muse on the genre. Don't expect any of the horror or bloody tropes, these are accomplished intellectuals who get their blood from antiseptic sources.
Guess I should mention that it was written/directed by Jim Jarmusch (Ghost Dog, Mystery Train, Down by Law) who brings his low-key, off-kilter skills to the film. It's attractively shot, a somewhat fascinating approach and features Swinton, who's always wonderful.
On the other hand, it moves at a snails pace and spends a lot of time in anemic ruminations. Unique but tedious.
