Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston w/d Jim Jarmusch
Wow... I've seen all JJ's films and liked some (Stranger Than Paradise, Dead Man) but was unprepared for this one. Vamps as elegant, world-travelers who buy their blood from hospitals illegally, live in shabby darkened rooms, are oh-so-jaded from living oh-so-long, call regular humans zombies, have super-fast reflexes but use them sparingly...epitomize decadence.
The visuals here were superb, camera work slinky, sensual. Ms Swinton was perfect...another star in her stellar career. Supporting cast (Mia W. John Hurt, Jeffrey Wright) was fun, use of subtle black humor tickled, locations perfect. Maybe the best use of music I've seen in a year...the montages/interludes were wonderful.
I didn't know he had this level of quality in him. A career triumph.
