Review: We know that the Jim Jarmusch movie vampires should not be like every other vampire movie. In fact, it would be likely to impair the category of this vampire movie. Only Lovers Left Alive is a very stylish and atmospheric film bemoaning the passing of a great rock n roll and the hippy era. Here we have a vampire couple (Swinton & Hiddleston - both excellent and perfectly cast) to live an isolated life in an abandoned house in Detroit, United States. Hiddleston used to be a famous rock n roll artist, who became a Recluse collection of old guitars and records. They survive by buying blood samples from a corrupt doctor. We also have one of their oldest vampire friends (John Hurt) live in Tangiers where the blood is particularly clean. Things will get an unexpected turn when Swintons mischievous sister (Mia Wasikowska) to visit them. Only love alive is a cult film written over. The music is great and blends in perfectly with the atmosphere. Essential Jarmusch fans and recommended to others! |
