Only Lovers Left Alive

Jim Jarmusch20132h 3mThriller, Romance, Drama

Written by Cinobo

Vampires, erotic rather than deadly, melancholic rather than scary. Jarmusch's vampires are charming anti-heroes, in a fairytale about nostalgia and love that endures through centuries. Swinton and Hiddleston in roles... to-die-for.

Synopsis

Living in the mysterious landscapes of Detroit and Tangier, a hermitic musician, deeply disappointed by humanity, is reunited with his hopeful and enigmatic mistress. Their love story has lasted for centuries, but their romance will be disturbed by the appearance of her uncontrollable younger sister. Will these wise and fragile characters survive as modern society collapses around them?
