One of the best movies I saw ever. It would take a nice effort to express it with words, so I'll just leave at that; One of the best movies I saw. Ever.
This new dimension of the film felt very real. I got absorbed in the conversations. Jarmusch exhibited compassion and love in creating an alternate view of their lifestyle.
These two are real, true artists- you can tell they really thought through ever detail and nuance in the film, and that sensitivity really comes across in the final cut. So refreshing in an industry filled with Michael Bey clones.
Watching this film you can immediately feel how much thought, intuition, emotion went into it. It is artsy, it is crafty, it is freeform and it is true to life, as far as it gets when it comes to being a vampire tale. It really explores what it is like to be human, to be craving, and also what it is like to be immortal but neither invulvnerable nor invincible, merely having a long view perspective, how it could disconnect you from the moment but also connect you to the eternal, and invite you to take a closer glance at nuances instead of rushing through moments regardless. It explores what it would be like to strip away the flimsyness of reactive surface level impulses and to follow only your deepest passions and really suck out the marrow of life. A masterpiece movie!
This movie is the rage in Paris, France. March '14. I have many close personal friends of Jarmusch and actors, and am from Cleveland. I am so proud of him and everyone else who supported this film. It is amazing. I saw it in Paris last night and you had to peel me off the floor for my delight. Thank to you all involved with this project. This is going to be a huge, huge smash in the USA I feel. I recommend everyone see this big screen ASAP. Thank you so much for posting this. Uprated. Please people, see this in a movie theatre.
***** What a pity! It was held over here in Paris, where it premiered. They also held over BLUE JASMINE, and TAKE SHELTER got a lot of interest and I saw it here. I definitely don't like all of Jarmusch's stuff, but some I really love. This movie also has wonderful music. It fired my imagination, and I thought of it actively for days after. I'm glad I saw it big screen. Very crowded cinema for that, even last showing on a weekday night. Very good dialogue in this one, too. "You drank Ian!" and so on. :)
Monique Schramm Smoke actually wasn't a Jim Jarmusch film he just had a film stealing scene in it. It feels like it should have been his film though had so many of the same qualities, Blue in the Face as well.
I will keep his sentence about letting the movie speaks to him forever. Do not try to overanalyse, just follow the heart, instinct, feelings or whatever and that way, you will end up being a happy human being and touched by movies.
by far my favorite Vampire movie, with the exception of Tod Browning's 1931 Dracula with Bel Lagosi, No apology to Jim, it's my belief even he would be OK with that assessment
Regarding 11:00 - actually all of the vampire lore Jim mentions here have existed for a long time. Bram Stoker for instance drew upon old eastern European superstitions for his Count Dracula in the late 19th century and mentions fangs, the crucifix, holy water, garlic, and having to be invited in. All the things he says were later added have been part of vampire lore very early on and likely descend from very ancient superstition. Anyway, OLLA is a fantastic film and Tilda is magnificent in it.
OPEN EYED, ARE LIVERS. THE SPIRITS FREEDOM, MAKES EVERYBODY TO REST "FOR ALLTIME" LIVERS. THANKS FOR CHOOSING MY VESEL OF LIFE. HONOURED, WITH RESPECT "I LOVE YOU!" PÁLL ÉVA KATALIN.
Can't be easy doing qna's when so often people don't really make much sense with their questions or are just comlpetely overwhelmed when they get the mic.
If I focus only on Jarmusch and Swinton, I enjoy hearing their interaction with the crowd. But this interviewer on stage is horrible - she can't ask a question without a "uhm..." and then she can't repeat a question asked accurately.

someone know who is he talking about when he talks about a director he loves? he says Olivia something but i dont get it! please if someone know tell me! xD hahaha
I love the way Jim struggles to rationalize the humanesque evolution of Vampires? How does one go about explaining the very nature of something that has never existed, Like a theoretical physicist explaining something like the Big Bang, knowing very well it may have never even existed
That would have taken away the whole essence and beauty of the film. Sometimes films need to set apart themselves from conventionalisms just to sell more.
Awaken dabeast apparently there was and when he was asked to add more he removed all of the action from the film. I think it would have taken power away from the ending but I would really love to see that 30 minutes of deleted footage he speaks about here.
Come on! You have to at least recognize how amazing it is that a tortoise learned to talk and wears clothes, not to mention hold a microphone and perfectly mimic a Jewish grandmother.
@@shaunpearson7905 Ruuuuuuuuuuude. What is the point in being mean and hateful? Have some compassion for other people. She did a fine job. I doubt you could do it as well as she did.
@@samanthajones8038 Hey, I thought she was a great tortoise. Be all sweet and virtuous about the OP calling h-r useless. Now fuck off with your weak-willed, I-have-no-opinion-unless-I'm -stroking-a-fucking-kitten, Kumbaya horseshit. And yes I can, and have done better - we're not all virtue signalling from our tool sheds like an asshole.
@@shaunpearson7905 Saying that an interviewer did a bad job is one thing, but calling her out for her looks is just rude. And insulting someone for rightfully telling you to be nicer is idiotic. Now fuck off, idiot.
As a comedy which mocks the arrogant tendencies of nostalgia, and the self-contradiction in human morality, I like this movie. As a presentation of genuinely cool characters, I don't like this movie. -if anybody wants off the merry-go-round, Jesus is Lord.
