Interview with the Vampire

  • Dir: Neil Jordan

  • USA, 1994, English, 123mins, DCP

  • Cast: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst, Antonio Banderas

A sophisticated, spookily intense rendering of Anne Rice’s story, Neil Jordan’s sumptuous film is as enchanting as it is imaginatively ghastly, bringing contemporary nuances to the vampire genre. Taking the homoerotic overtones of the novel, The Crying Game director invests his characters – the imposing Tom Cruise, the lost soul Brad Pitt, and the malicious Antonio Banderas – with visceral power and startling erotic effects in a supernatural vein. For all its operatic pathos and visual flair, this Gothic horror outrageously explores the vampire’s complex lived experience, posing an eternal quizzing of human and inhuman nature.
