ADAM
AND EVE
Vampires as artistic
loners in Only Lovers
Le Alive
L
anguid, elegiac, mournful and unexpectedly funny,
Jim Jarmush’s Only Lovers Left Alive introduces us
to the ancient Adam (Tom Hiddleston) and Eve
(Tilda Swinton), a pair of vampires who’ve been
married so long they think nothing of living on
opposite sides of the world. He lurks in Detroit, a reclusive,
black-clad musician whose work quietly slips into the
world via his human friend Ian (Anton Yelchin, shaggy
and game). She’s in Tangier, where her cream-colored
clothes and hair give her a false, sunny glow when she
goes out at night, seeking her friend Kit (as in Marlowe,
played by John Hurt).
Adam’s thickening gloom spurs Eve to join him in
Detroit, where they spend evenings driving empty streets,
remembering a world long gone, listening to music and
occasionally gossiping about Shelley or Byron or Shubert.
Eve’s sister, Ava (Mia Wasikowska), shows up for a time
to wreak a touch of giddy havoc in her lust for blood,
which gives the vampires a brief high (eating people, Eve
says, is so 15th century). But even as Ava wrecks their
semi-domestic bliss, Eve adapts, making drastic change
just another moment in a cycle of parting and reuniting,
adapting to a world run by “zombies” who don’t know
how to take care of, or appreciate, anything.
Until Ava appears, Only Lovers is mostly a chill
evening with two unearthly, beautiful creatures who
inhabit a world of low light and empty factories, cluttered
living rooms and endlessly spinning LPs. Adam and Eve
represent the romantic image of the loner artists taken to
the next level, unable to be part of society even if they
wanted to. Only Lovers both revels in that notion and
underscores its isolation, the way living alongside the
world, choosing to disdain its changes, particularly wears
on Adam. But for all that they’ve seen, Eve still finds new
things intriguing, like Jack White’s childhood home or the
appearance of out-of-season mushrooms; Adam’s fixation
on the past, and the failings of humanity, is what sends him
into dark moods. Only Lovers is a little bit silly, but in the
way a long night out can flip between serious and giddy
from one cup of coffee (or blood) to the next. From the
dark vision of Detroit to the eerie soundtrack, Hiddleston’s
mop of dead-poet hair to Swinton’s wide-eyed joy, the
movie creates a world all its own. If Jarmush’s atmospheric,
blood-and-bohemians style is your thing, you might not
want to leave. ■
