Only Lovers Left Alive was another vampire tale but not quite like the ones that have been presented to us over the last years. This is actually a very "vampiresque" film and it is exactly what we pretend in a film about vampires.
The atmosphere is absolutely perfect! We never see the light of a day, the sadness and heaviness of death is always present, afterall the characters are actually death of course. The pace may not be the best always and what's more interesting about this film, even with the lack of some content you actually never lost the interest and you wanna see more about the characters and where they will end up. The style also contributes to drag us inside of the film and it wants to deliver some messages about todays society.
The performances are great. Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton gave very interesting and deep performances. Afterall this is their film, there's not much of a story in it, it's just about two lovers, two vampire lovers which their love resists through centuries and they will be connected forever no matter what.
Only Lovers Left Alive is true romantic film and I see it as a romantic Ode. A film to triumph love in general.
