Jim Jarmusch’s ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE tells the tale of two fragile and 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, but still retain their innate wildness.
Adam, a reclusive underground musician hiding out in the ruins of contemporary Detroit, despairs about human civilization’s decline, and worries about future survival. Eve, who is perhaps 3000 years old to Adam’s 500, takes a longer view of history and is more optimistic. She leaves her home in the ancient city of Tangier to come to his side. As blood has been tainted by the zombies (humans), the formerly immortal Adam and Eve must secure uncontaminated blood from hospitals or they will perish. Eve’s close friend, Elizabethan dramatist and unacknowledged author of Shakespeare’s plays—Christopher Marlowe (John Hurt), is now an elder vampire who provides Eve with hospital blood. Adam gets his supply from Dr. Watson (Jeffrey Wright), a skittish hematologist who provides safe blood at a price. Adam and Eve’s precarious footing is further threatened by the uninvited arrival of Eve’s carefree and uncontrollable little sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska). Unlike Adam and Eve, Ava hasn’t yet learned to tame her wilder instincts, and her recklessness concerns Adam.
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…

“Even vampires get the blues.”
– MIAMI HERALD
“Sent me out into the full-mooned night, all senses elated, on a glad-to-be-alive high.”
– TIME OUT NEW YORK
“The next great midnight classic.”
– FILM.COM
“Almost nothing happens in this minor-key drift through a desolate, imperiled modern world, and yet it is the perennial downtown filmmaker’s best work in many years, probably since 1995’s Dead Man.”
– HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“This is Jarmusch’s most emotionally direct film since Dead Man, and maybe his finest.”
– VILLAGE VOICE
“Legendary hipster filmmaker Jim Jarmusch’s wryly funny exercise in genre bending hits so many grace notes it ends up being his most satisfying film in years.”
– NEW YORK POST
“In addition to unspooling an adult story of bloodsuckers, Lovers manages something few films have done in years: rendering Detroit scenically romantic.”
– USA TODAY
“It’s so elegant and dreamlike-such a departure from most vampire epics-that you won’t be bored. It also has a wicked sense of humor you usually don’t find in the genre.”
– NEW YORK OBSERVER
“This is a movie about the transcendent bond between partners who can communicate without speaking a word, so it’s only fitting that the gorgeous cinematography perfectly captures the movie’s emotional depths.”
– NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
“One of the strongest films yet from Jim Jarmusch.”
– LOS ANGELES TIMES
“It’s shot through with sadness and beauty, with dry humor, with the certainty that even things meant to last forever actually don’t.”
– SALON.COM
“Director Jim Jarmusch, as ever, has the power to sneak up on you. He’s a spellbinder. The same goes for his movie.”
– ROLLING STONE
“A vampire flick as only Jim Jarmusch would ever conceive it, languidly poetic, worldweary and crammed with hipster in-jokes.”
– NPR
“Ms. Swinton and Mr. Hiddleston complement each other so elegantly that languor gives way to a genuinely affecting-and erotic-love story.”
– WALL STREET JOURNAL
