Just when we thought there wasn’t a horror film in sight at the 2013 Festival de Cannes, Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, billed as a crypto-vampire love story, has been awarded a coveted place in the official line-up.
Only Lovers Left Alive with Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, and Mia Wasikowska takes to 20 the number of films in competition for the top Palme d’Or prize at the Riviera movie extravaganza. It is the story about a centuries-long love affair between two star-crossed vampires.
Hiddleston plays Adam, an underground musician who’s deeply depressed by the direction of human activities. He reunites with his lover, Eve (Swinton), though their idyll is soon interrupted by Eve’s wild and uncontrollable younger sister, Ava (Wasikowska).
