Swooning still from the sexy ennui
Only Lovers Left Alive is pretty much a movie made especially for me. It's a slow and sexy vampire film without the bloody horror the genre. Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston are subtle and gorgeous and 99% of the film. TH's character is suicidal, artistic, and cerebral. TS's character is aristocratic, bohemian, and celebrates her life. They have a love of centuries that still crackles.
Tilda Swinton! I'm an even bigger fan now.
I feel the same delighted excitement I felt after Let the Right One In, because movies like these treat the vampire concept the way I want to see it.
I'm hugely thankful about being able to see this film. It had a limited release in L.A. & NY on my birthday; I was hoping that SIFF would bring it to Seattle.
