Tilda Swinton

Only Lovers Left Alive is no part of another vampire mythology

Review by Jenny Alvarez

 Only Lovers Left Alive is a romance drama vampire film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch, starring Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton, Mia Wasikowska, and John Hurt. Set against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangier, an underground musician, deeply depressed by the direction of human activities, reunites with his resilient and enigmatic lover.

Their love story has already endured several centuries at least, but their debauched idyll is soon disrupted by her wild and uncontrollable younger sister. The effect of throwing human mortality into stark relief, provide some of the weirdest moments for those in the know.

This film has wonderful production design, music cuts and photography despite of some scenes were a little bit longer that it seems, the plot is consistent and well structured as well. It has black humor especially when Adam spits, “zombie central” sarcasm of people from Hollywood. This movie will we open in Los Angeles on April 11th, 2014.
