“This retro-chic haute-hippy vampire flick gets its energy from the sulphurous chemistry between Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston [...] The damned have never looked more beautiful”
DOORS: 19:30 | FILM STARTS 19:50
Our spooky season starts with a bang on 18th October, when we’ll be returning to Arnos Vale Cemetery for two nights of spine-tingling cinema!
Join us after dark in Bristol’s very own necropolis – make your way through this historic graveyard to the beautiful Anglican Chapel and take your seat for the show.
Our second evening at Arnos Vale is dedicated to refreshing takes and twists on the vampire genre, continuing with Jim Jarmusch’s romantic comedy-drama Only Lovers Left Alive. Starring Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton as two sophisticated, lovesick vampires, it’s a fantastical, trancelike exploration of what it means to be human, delivering an offbeat and unforgettable take on vampirism in Jarmusch’s inimitable style.
