Confessions of a vampire

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2019)

A wonderful movie and one of the best vampire films in history.
The cast is one of the sexiest, attractive and talented, ever seen on the big screen.
Brad Pitt, younger and beautiful than ever plays Louis De Pointe, a young man from Spanish Louisiana, Brad gives his character innocence and humanity, a spirit that does not stop struggling between good and evil, and whose nexus between both parts will be a sweet girl who will take almost for a daughter.
Tom Cruise, immeasurable, great, terrifyingly beautiful and magnetic, his character Lestat, produces several sensations, attraction, repulsion, terror, pity especially at the end ... Tom Cruise clearly showed that it was not a pretty face anymore within the Hollywood establishment , making his character speak only with his blue and hypnotic gaze.
Kirsten Dunst, being still small when she made the film, her character was not easy, but she showed an admirable maturity, managing to create a character as innocent as in turn dark and perverse, because while she loves Louis, she does not hesitate to kill Lestat, although he was willing to reconcile with her. Showing with it a tender attitude with Louis but also selfish, possessive and capricious.
Antonio Banderas, the old vampire Armand, a character of the darkest and gothic, the performance of the Spanish can only be described as sublime, every gesture, every word, conveys a sense of respect and at the same time fear, loves and wishes Louis, although that it can mean its own destruction. A short, but memorable character.
Christian Slater, like the journalist Daniel Molloy however is not very used, although certainly his character did not give much more, since it is about telling a past story, so that his character does not have too many options to develop. Anyway, it is not bad, this actor at that time was still popular, before falling into the abyss of self-destruction.
And the rest? Neil Jordan once again created a dreamy atmosphere, dark, Gothic and Baroque at the same time, streets lost in dense fogs, the whole movie is like a sweet nightmare from which he wakes up suddenly at the end. This director already showed his ability to create dark and gothic atmospheres, always wrapped in a halo of magic and mystery, as in his famous film In the company of wolves.
A story of love, of revenge, betrayal and blood, but above all of passion, of souls tortured and condemned in search of their own redemption and salvation. All with an atmosphere that amazes all the senses.
I'm sorry, but I can not stop praising this cinematic delicacy, it's one of my favorites of all times and it will continue to be so. Go, yes.
An unrepeatable marvel that you can not miss for anything in the world.
