fannishlissWords cannot describe how much this movie appeals to me.
Opening today in "select theatres" in the US.
Here is a FANTASTIC interview with Hiddleston, Studio Q with Jian Ghomeshi
Tom was pitched the movie while he was in "a swirl of superheroes and soldiers and Shakespeare" and Jim Jarmusch said he wanted
to make a love story about a couple
who are deeply sensitive and refined
and sophisticated and poetic and delicate and endangered
and he's very dark and she is lighter
they are the sun and the moon, they're yin and yang
and oh by the way they're vampires
a film about love and art and music and literature
How would you spend your time if you were immortal?
How would that change your acceptance of your lover, how would that change your commitment?
One of the best movies I've ever seen, was Dead Man, starring Johnny Depp -- that was when Jim Jarmusch came onto my radar. I haven't seen all his films, and he hasn't made very many, but he's an amazing director with a great vision.
This whole interview is on such an interesting level of art and what it means to make art about art. It's fantastic. For new friends, you should know that I spent twelve years in grad school :P getting an MFA in poetry, then a women's studies certificate, then a PhD in English Romanticism, with a dissertation on Mary Shelley, and I make my living in the arts, my husband is an actor, and my kid is an artist, dancer, musician, writer. :D So this kind of talk about art and making art, and a freaking movie about Two Great Unaffected Vampires and the Arts, starring Tom and Tilda Swinton.
OMG, I'm typing while listening, and Tom just recited a really beautiful poem from memory. :D :D :D
I think next year for NaNo I want to write about Loki, the mythological truth of what Loki is and what Loki represents.
"an innate playfulness designed to tease and unsettle" ... at the same time I'm preparing to edit my current novel, which contains long reactions to romantic poetry.... what do I even do with that. Well, something anyway!!
