Set against the romantic desolation of Detroit & Tangier, Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive tells the tale of two sensitive vampires, Adam (Tom Hiddleston) and Eve (Tilda Swinton), who have been lovers for centuries. Both are cultured intellectuals with an all-embracing passion for music, literature and science, who have evolved to a level where they no longer kill for sustenance, yet still retain their innate wildness. However, their debauched idyll is soon disrupted by Eves wild & uncontrollable younger sister, Ava (Mia Wasikowska). Unlike Adam and Eve, Ava hasn’t yet learned to tame her wilder instincts, and her recklessness concerns Adam.. Can these wise, but fragile outsiders continue to survive as the modern world collapses around them? Driven by sensual photography, trance-like music, and droll humor, Jarmusch’s ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE is a meditation on art, science, memory, and the mysteries of everlasting love… Screenings at O Cinema Wynwood from May 23rd - 29th! o-cinema.org/event/only-lovers-left-alive/
