Wonderful imagery. mode and atmosphere in the extreme. great acting. Beauty in many forms: you get a lot for your eyes. Also, depending on your taste in music, in that location is also a lot for your ears.
For your brain, sadly, not as much.
"Only lovers left alive" is filled with a lot of name-dropping, by discussion, picture and sometimes sound. Whether you find that fascinating or pretentious depends on your taste.
But what this motion picture really lacks is a story. The characters are throughout and the dialogue may exist scarce, but has some dry out humour and snappy lines. That doesn't salvage it from going nowhere. Glaring plot holes may make you cringe at times. And the pacing looks like Jarmush tried to surpass Kaurismäki in terms of slowness. If so, he won.
So perhaps this movie is best tasted in the state its protagonists enter after relishing an excellent glass of blood: dazed, beatific, and somewhat drugged.
