My favorites were int his movie. Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowsa, Anton Yelchin. So why not? the movie sounds creepy at first. with those creepy stars it makes it more and more interesting. Only Lovers Left Alive is kind of an anti-vampire movie. It embraces aspects of the vampire genre like how vampires can't go out in sunlight, have super fast reflexes, and live forever. However, it moves away from some of the silly aspects. Jim Jarmusch does a good job of setting up how a vampire could survive in the world. He takes his time and shows us instead of tells us
As a matter of fact, rarely does one find a film with such romantic awareness about the world coming to an end. It is as if the film knew it was the last love film on Earth. The narrative is definitely lacking in certain areas and when you consider Only Lovers Left Alive is a movie about vampires, we expect more than we end up with, in respect to bloodsucker behaviour, but what saves this film more than a little are the brilliant performances by our main two, Adam and Eve, Anton Yelchin's Ian, and the short but destructive appearance from Eve's sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska).
In the end the wit, the humor, the horror - all well intended and revealed - is turned on its head. The two sophisticated lovers above the grid, wrestle with tripping into decay as well, having to kill for food. Written and directed by Jim Jarmusch, the talented independent American filmmaker who has a devoted cinephile audience whatever he does, Only Lovers Left Alive is a poetic story of two vampires. The melodic, psychedelic music in the scenes and the slow sequences reveal an auteur with artistic depth and a will to create everything ritually. From how they drink blood (never violently taken anymore), how they make love, how they walk and behave, how they see the world. The time he gives to its characters to evolve, to express their true feelings, works soothingly in the course of the story.
Overall, "Only Lovers Left Alive" is new, romantic, poetic and eccentric. Its spinning motion and slow rhythm put the viewer on a trance-like trip like no other, which might give the film a possible cult status in the future. It has a very original atmosphere which is definitely fresh and will most likely continue to arouse our interest.
If you like creepy comedy romance drama movie you should watch it. And anyway Mia Wasikowska and Tilda Swiston are sisters made in heaven. Their creepiness and acting skills are made! amazing actress from two different generations.
