  Review by Tasha Robinson ★★★★

  Leave it to Jim Jarmusch to find a new angle on the hoary old subject of vampires: The bored-immortal hangout movie, featuring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston as an ancient undead couple with no particular urgency about anything except possibly keeping each other alive. The movie completely lacks a sense of drive or urgency, and it keeps the plot to a minimum—if anything, it might have been better off without even the little drama it does have, since the plot touches compromise the story and briefly turn it into something that feels more intense, and dropping back into immortal torpor afterward is a little dissatisfying. But this is a beautifully acted and textured movie, a weird, syrupy, sleepy experience that…

  honestly i'd be perfectly happy being one of these "people" only probably obsessing over movies rather than books or music. but then maybe with all that time i'd be able to manage all three and finally learn about those other two things. sounds pretty great.

  TIFF 2013 – film #3

  Reason for pick: director Jim Jarmusch, Tilda Swinton, my wife’s love of all things Vampire.

  It was a rainy day. Literally. Standing in line at the Bloor Cinema with the clouds wide open was really starting to affect my normally bright and cheery mood. Granted, this was a Jim Jarmusch film, but I really only know him by reputation, as I’d only seen Down by Law, and Broken Flowers. There was the Tilda Swinton factor. Love her. I couldn’t think of a bad film she was in until our friend Len reminded me of I Am Love. Hated that one. The real reason I’m here, standing in the rain, is my wife’s love of Vampire…

  “How could you have lived so long and still not get it?”

  Jim Jarmusch brings a fresh spin to the very familiar vampire tale and delivers a solid and unique film that is unlike any other from the genre. Only Lovers Left Alive will stand alone considering it lacks the horror and action elements that the classic vampire films always introduce, and it also avoids the romantic cliches as well. It is an existential vampire film where you have two very distinct characters. On the one hand there is Tom Hiddleston’s character who has been around for centuries and is living in Detroit along with his growing music collection. He has grown weary with the way humans (or as he…
