Hip, smart and funny
Jim Jarmusch’s delicious new comedy is a vampire movie unlike any other. It’s set in the present but forget those “Twilight” sagas; these are vampires for the art-house crowd, smart, funny and yes, sexy creatures of the night, (the whole film takes place at night; there isn’t a single shot in daylight), and I was crazy about them. Indeed Jarmusch has fashioned a masterpiece about a couple of lonely people whose only solace is each other, doomed if you like to be together for all eternity or until one of them gets a stake or a wooden bullet in the heart or drinks some ‘bad blood’; (I loved the subtle AIDS metaphor; be careful who you bite). Adam, (tall, dark and sexy Tom Hiddleston), and Eve, (a mesmerizing Tilda Swinton), have been married to each other, several times it would appear, over the centuries but living separate lives, he in Detroit as a reclusive musician, she in Tangier where she has another old vampire for a friend. He is Christopher Marlowe, (yes that Christopher Marlowe), and he’s played by John Hurt with a twinkle in his eye. It’s when Eve visits Adam in Detroit, flying by night, (in a plane; what did you expect – bat-wings?), that all hell breaks loose in the shapely form of Eve’s sexy sister, (a terrific Mia Wasikowska), who can’t keep her fangs to herself. As you would expect from Jarmusch this is funny, intelligent and off-the-wall. Hiddleston proves to be a highly dapper comedian while Swinton is superb as Eve, getting all she can out of a life she knows is going to go on forever. Unmissable.Read More
