Only Lovers Left Alive
This film was a lot of fun. It's not quite as hipsteristic as what the poster or images suggest the film to be, but it combines its own creepiness with its humor extremely well. The dialogue is short but sweet in a lot of scenes, and the atmosphere in all of the scenes are so interesting and doesn't waste a moment in its characterizations. The two main leads are absolutely excellent. Tilda Swimton is a quiet, caring soul for nearly every character in the film, and Tom Hiddleston portrays the rather reclusive and gloomy vampire very well. Mia Wasikowska is fun, but she's not in the film for too long which is a shame. The music in this is wonderful (Dodd, you'll like this film for just that reason alone), and the stylistic imagery is gorgeous to watch. The film is most likely gonna receive a cult status in the next few years because it's quirkiness isn't very accessible, but in saying that, this is Jim Jamusch's most accessible film yet.
