Daniel Malloy (Christian Slater) is a young radio reporter who conducts interviews with anonymous people. One night he meets Louis (Brad Pitt), who to his surprise, declared to be a vampire. Throughout the conference, Louis will be narrating his life journey from dark to Lestat (Tom Cruise) from using it as a supernatural being in New Orleans of late eighteenth century.
Despite being met with some general warmth by critics upon its release, nearly two decades thereafter, we can state categorically that Interview with the Vampire is the last major revision of the vampire myth brought to the big screen.
suppose that the fact that his cast was led by some of the most desirable male actors in the early nineties (their faces then soak for folders of girls half the world), did not help that the tape was worth its merits by the critical area more serious, almost always reluctant to everything that can be fashionable and very often unfair to certain products that have a clear commercial vocation. We need therefore to claim this great band (marked in any point of view from which to analyze), directed by Neil Jordan solvent than ten years before, had given us one of the key titles of contemporary fantasy films this charming and sinister allegory about female sexual arousal is The Company of Wolves ( The Company of Wolves , 1984).
Anne Rice adapting his own literary text impregnating dark lyricism and giving it a strong aspect of existentialism. Without specifying its obvious homosexual connotations, the script fascinated the themes of loss, loneliness, the passage of time or the inevitable friction / attraction that arises between the old and new.
The film benefits from its unique design and luxurious production, resulting in excellent Gothic, dark and decadent passage Set in the nineteenth-century Paris (amazing that underground chamber full of niches in which lie the vampires of the theater) and one of the most prominent score of horror films in recent decades by Elliot Goldenthal, crowned by the great Guns N'Roses version that made the Sympathy for the Devil by the Stones.
Another strong point of the film, is that it has engaging characters all superbly performed by its cast. Stressing the surprisingly successful performance (probably the best of his career) from Tom Cruise as Lestat ambiguous and malicious, a worthy successor to Lord Ruthven the Vampire (1819) by John William Polidori.
In short, if you love gothic literature or just love good movies, do not hesitate to watch (or review) Interview with the Vampire. They did not disappoint.
Rating: very good .
