It seems to be a rite of passage for directors to make a vampire movie these days, with filmmakers as talented and diverse as Neil Jordan, Catherine Hardwicke and Chan-wook Park all having a crack at the genre in recent years. And now it’s the turn of indie darling Jim Jarmusch, the man who messed with western conventions in Dead Man and who made one of the most surreal action films of all-time in the shape of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.
Here he tells the tale of two ancient vampires called Adam and Eve (geddit?), whose passionate love affair has lasted centuries, the couple trotting the globe in search of culture and blood.
But we meet them in the present day when the pair are taking a brief break from each other. Eve (Tilda Swinton) is swanning around Tangier drinking in music, literature and bottles of the red stuff – she’s a sophisticate after all – which she procures from Christopher Malowe. Yes that Christopher Marlowe.
