Only Lovers Left Alive

this movie just blew me the fuck away. this may be my favorite soundtrack to any movie. i've seen a lot of excellent cinema lately, and aside from raw, this is just a transcendent level of art. it's as distinct sonically as its visuals are. the only word i can think of to reasonably describe this movie is intoxicating, but i can't help but feel like that the word doesn't quite manage to illicit the same feeling as this film. this is wholly unique, hypnotic, captivating, and bloody fucking brilliant. read more

Swinton and Hiddleston are a riot as the ultimate saber-toothed dandies, with John Hurt's Christopher Marlowe as a deluxe supporting character. read more

This is the kind of film that could have too easily fallen into its own hype. It could have been too cool, too weird, too much. But it isn't. Jarmusch masterfully conducts the story of two vampire lovers who, ironically, know more about life than any of their other acquaintances. They have lived for a long time, they have been to many places and experienced many different things and, now, one of them may be getting tired of what is left. And yet, together they must carry on, with the naturality that one only arrives at after many years. They are lovers, but they've known each other for so... read more

So there's basically no plot or even scary scenes, especially for a vampire movie. But the cast & the locations make up for it. Worth a watch. read more
