I went to bed thinking about Only Lovers Left Alive last night, - TopicsExpress



          

I went to bed thinking about Only Lovers Left Alive last night, and Im pretty sure its a parable about modernist capital-R Romantics existing on the fringes of a society that no longer values their perspectives. Lots there about art, genius, the idea that mainstream acclaim is corrosive, the love letter to the notion of an underground. Of the protagonists, one is sanguine about these changes, happy to ride it out with her books and sense of wonder, the other is almost suicidally morose about the zombies. Thinking this is a very personal work for Jarmusch, who emerged from the 1980s New York art scene.
