An appetite for blood is exchanged for a lust of human culture. Written and instrumental, creators and sites of creation.

| Original Score: 95/100 | Aug 19, 2021

Don't expect too much plot - this is all about luxuriating in the picture, and sucking down every ounce of blood Jarmusch has drawn from his obsessions.

An intellectually inviting, endearing, and wonderful movie. And yes, there are vampires too.

With Jamusch's deadpan humor abound, Only Lovers Left Alive is a beautiful, funny, playful pun at vampire genre and also a poignant contemplation on long term relationship. I mean, how do you keep up the freshness when you have eternity together?

With great performances all around, Beyond the Hills is an emotionally exhausting experience. Even with a running time of 2 1/2 hours, the film succeeds in holding your attention from beginning to end with unrelenting tension.

The film is mostly a fun, sweet character study, but it's enjoyable flow is marred periodically by its own desire to be cool.

Intense, darkly amusing and with a killer couple in Swinton and Hiddleston, Only Lovers Left Alive proves that vampires aren't just about the fangs and blood but a never-ending life - and how you live it.

Nobody in this film is entirely unlikable, and each is portrayed by an actor you could listen to talk for hours.

I recommend sitting back, letting the amazing soundtrack work its magic and wonder about how great it could be to live like the two main characters.

There is something sexy about the type of languid decay we see throughout Only Lovers Left Alive...
