Fed up with immortality, a vampire musician must deal with his more upbeat wife, her rambunctious sister, musical piracy, and a dwindling supply of uncontaminated blood. As seen at the Century Regency Cinemas, San Rafael, CA.
*****
This is a fine, restrained and mostly bloodless film for those fed up with the gore and guts of typical vampire fare. With a lot of great acting and droll humor, the film looks at the existential problems faced by a vampire couple living in what’s left of Detroit. He doesn’t see much reason to go on any longer apart from collecting rare guitars, while she is still enjoying the dark side of un-life. They are both on the lookout for pure blood, which is apparently hard to come by. It’s a pretty slow-paced and scare-free picture, but it is so beautifully made and well acted that is never is less than watchable. Killer soundtrack too. A familiarity with 16th century author Christopher Marlowe (still alive as the movie begins) and the rumors about he and Shakespeare will be helpful to viewers.
