Adam's great love Eve (Tilda Swinton) has found refuge thousands of miles away in the romantic kasbah of Tangier.
Adam's great love Eve (Tilda Swinton) has found refuge thousands of miles away in the romantic kasbah of Tangier.
In the romantic kasbah of Tangier, Adam searches for his great love Eve (Tilda Swinton), who has found refuge there. With its winding alleys and oriental flair, this city offers her the peace she needs after centuries of restless life. Adam (Tom Hiddleston), her deeply melancholic and world-weary companion, has retreated to the loneliness of Detroit to escape his endless existence. But when Eve senses that her weary companion wants to end his immortality, she immediately sets out to find him. Their love, which has already lasted for centuries, is put to the test. They are the last lovers, the last hope for an eternal union—they are the “Last Lovers Alive.”
Adam and Eve's immortal love has survived numerous crises, but their idyllic life is suddenly shattered when Eve's wild sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska) shows up unannounced. With her unpredictable and hedonistic nature, Ava brings chaos into the couple's orderly life and puts their relationship to the test. But Adam and Eve, the last lovers, fight to preserve their unique connection – as if they were the Last Lovers Alive in a world full of change.
ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE by Jim Jarmusch, starring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston, premiered in Cannes to rave reviews before being shown at the Toronto International Film Festival. Jarmusch's film ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE impressively shows how the immortal love between Adam and Eve is threatened by the challenges of the modern world and the presence of Ava. They are the last lovers of their kind, the Last Lovers Alive, trying to preserve their love in an ever-changing world. Jarmusch's ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE is a poetic masterpiece.
