Vampires on Film at the Grand Illusion

The month of October belongs to the Grand Illusion, as the city’s greatest little theatre specializes in the kind of weirdo genre cinema and camp oddities that the Halloween season perennially inspires. The second week of their seasonal festivities presents two more classics on 35mm. In Tony Scott’s 1983 The Hunger, David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve turn Susan Sarandon into a vampire to the pulse of Bauhaus’s lament for Bela Lugosi, while in Jim Jarmusch’s 2013 Only Lovers Left Alive, Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston wander Detroit and Tangiers, listening to cool music, hanging out with Christopher Marlowe and Mia Wasikowska, embodying the yin and yang of immortality.
