So two trams and a short walk later I ended up at the Nova Cinema, nearly 30 minutes early mind you, and headed straight upstairs to the cinemas. Nova sends you the ticket so you don't have to go to the box office when you purchase online.
My ticket was scanned and moved through to the waiting area.
Shortly after, cinema 2 was called in and we all moved in to take our seats.
The cinema was smallish and the seats didn't line up exactly but it was cute, and there were cup holders in the rather large seats.
There were still heaps of ads before the movie for local business but it didn't get to the point where you forgot what movie you were seeing, unlike at the bigger cinemas.
The movie itself was dark and delicious. We are introduced to three of the Vampires at the beginning in a scene in which they score their blood and feed. I say score as they don't hunt, and that the blood itself seems to give them some slight high.
Adam, played by Tom Hiddleston, is our brooding musician sick of the "zombies" (you and me) and slightly suicidal.
Eve, played by Tilda Swinton, is his wife living abroad, she is caring and loyal and enigmatic.
Their love is gorgeous and the sets are beautiful and dark.
From Tangier to Detroit we are shown a beautiful dark world long forgotten and decaying.
Its dark and grungy, romantic and beautiful.
I left with the biggest feeling of nostalgia for my grungier days, when every night was our day and we only worked enough to pay the bills.
There was a long wait for this movie, and I've only found it being played at this one cinema, but it was well worth the wait.
I hope to go again at least once before its finished.
5 out of 5 stars.
