Only Lovers Left Alive: Due August 19
The tale of two fragile and sensitive vampires, Adam (Tom Hiddleston) and Eve (Tilda Swinton). Both are cultured intellectuals, mature and charmingly ultra-cool with an all-embracing passion for music, literature and science, who have evolved to a level where they no longer kill for sustenance, but still retain their innate wildness. Their love story has endured several centuries but their debauched idyll is threatened by the uninvited arrival of Eve’s carefree little sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska) who hasn’t yet learned to tame her wilder instincts. Driven by sensual photography, trance-like music, and droll humor, Jim Jarmusch’s poetic love story — set against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangier — is a meditation on art, science, and the mysteries of everlasting love. Features a great underground music soundtrack. Extras: “Traveling at Night With Jim Jarmusch” featurette, deleted and extended scenes, Yasmine Hamdan “Hal” music video.

Stars: Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Anton Yelchin, Mia Wasikowska, John Hurt, Jeffrey Wright. 2014, CC, MPAA rating: R, 123 min., Drama, Box office gross: $1.061 million, Sony.
