Interview with the Vampire

Nicolas Cage stars as Lestat, a vampire who recounts his tumultuous existence to a nosy journalist. Based on Anne Rice’s novel, Neil Jordan’s film weaves a tapestry of gothic splendour, with Cage’s charismatic performance at its heart. Brad Pitt, as the tragic Louis, brings a brooding intensity to a tale of bloodlust and moral decay. The film’s aesthetic is sumptuous, its atmosphere thick with the weight of centuries, yet it remains anchored by the intimate, almost confessional, dialogue between vampire and man.
