Movie:
Clocking in at just over two hours this film takes you through a 200 year time frame of one vampire's everlasting & grueling existence. It provides an artistic look at the vampire genre which is rare but leads Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt helped with the prestige factor. In addition Christian Slater does some of his best work as the reporter versus his traditional role as corny heart throb. Plus you get to see Kirsten Dunst at a very young age in her first big role give an impressive performance. Take note of the costumes which are intricate if not accurate to the period. Also as with most Anne Rice story lines it is based in Louisiana so the scenery is beautiful & even includes a shot at the famous Oak Alley Plantation.
As you can imagine it's is easy to distracted by all the big name actors, costumes & settings but pay attention to the story because it is very interesting in its own right. In fact in the end it questions if mortality is a gift or a curse we all must face. If given the choice which path would you take?
