Additional InformationDirector Tony Scott's cult classic tells the story of Miriam (Catherine Denueve) and John (David Bowie), an elegant couple with a dark secret: they are vampires. Feeding on human blood, Miriam has lived for over 2000 years. Taking John as her lover, she gave him the gift of eternal life as well. Together, the beautiful Miriam and dapper John teach music by day and feed on innocent humans by night, disposing of their remains in the incinerator of their well-appointed townhouse. When John begins aging rapidly, he seeks the help of Dr. Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon), a specialist in premature aging. Miriam is immediately drawn to Sarah, desiring her as her next immortal companion. Sarah, unable to deny her attraction to Miriam, ends up in her bed and is consequently forced to choose between her mortal life and eternal life. Deneuve is remarkable as the beautiful but anguished Miriam, and Bowie is astonishing as he ages hundreds of years in a matter of hours, all of the seconds that he has lived catching up with him at once. Watch for Ann Magnuson in her film debut, and Willem Dafoe in his first credited speaking role.

    Good 'Ole Movie.....

    I remember this film from years ago and unfortunately there have been editings which have spoilt the film really. I can't understand why certain scenes have been edited or cut? Especially considering this still carries an 18 rating on the box. However, I still found some enjoyment in it, but I wish it hadn't been tampered with.

  • Most critical review

    Confusingly good with flashes of innovative ideas on vampirism.

    Very confusing film. However, there are several plus points and some great acting by Bowie, Sarandon and Deneuve. The story could be good if made a little simpler. Frustratingly hard to follow at times but seems to portray a different slant on Vampirism with no biting.!?!??Watchable.

  • Vampire story.

    Atmospheric vampire story. Impressionistic. The late great David Bowie in a lead role.
