A timeless love affair is threatened by the arrival of a wild younger sister.

Trailer

Why watch this film?

A story of love that spans centuries, starring Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton who are, in themselves, reason enough to watch this movie. Directed by Jim Jarmusch ('Paterson'), we are introduced to the vampire world in modern times and how their dynamics work in a technological world. While Hiddleston's character stays true to old habits, Swinton is more modern. The production is quite eccentric, a mix of acid humor with relationship dilemmas. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Sitges Film Festival, 'Only Lovers Left Alive' brings excellent cultural references, with intelligent touches of irony.
