Since the last half year I’ve been almost obsessed with Vampires. It all started with the TV-show True Blood, which by the way the Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard makes a brilliant take as a Norse vampire. I truly recommend this show. Next up was the Swedish success movie “let the right one in” and after that the teenager movie “Twilight”.
I have never liked the movies about Blade or the shows about Buffy. I think it is because they shows vampire from a bad angle instead of showing them in a more poetic way.
However, after this I was forced to see this Vampire movie again, which is from the year 1994. Really major actors play in this movie, actors like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas and a very young Kirsten Dunst.
The film is based on the novel “Interview with the vampire” by Anne Rice. It opens in present time with a reporter talking with a Vampire called Luis. Through the movie we can hear Luis (Brad Pitt) talk about his life as a vampire, from when he first turned in to a vampire and all his adventures until present. What makes Luis special is that he still have kept some of his humanity after he changed. We can also follow Claudia who’s transformed into a vampire as a child.The film is about beauty, wealth, passion and desire, but even more about the endless search for satisfaction.

I haven’t watched many vampire movies either. It has never been a genre that enjoyed. But after reading your blog I am reconsidering this.
