Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles plot
"Drink from me and live forever"
The film tells the life story of Louis de Pointe du Lac (Pitt). In 1791, after losing his wife, he no longer wanted to live. He is bitten by the vampire Lestat (Cruise), who gives him the choice to continue living as a vampire, or to die a slow death. Louis chooses to become a vampire and learns from Lestat what it's like to live as a vampire. The years go by and Louis chooses to live on the blood of animals because he doesn't want to kill innocents. He is also less and less pleased with the company of Lestat. In Paris, he meets a group of vampires who live very different lives and Louis finds a way to make everything different.

Interview with the Vampire is an anti-Nosferatu vampire film. Here no disfigured, bald, pale ghost terrorizing the population by bloodsucking; no, here are the vampires, well-dressed, vain dandies, sensually sucking their equally well-dressed, well-bombed victims dry. Most of the film is a story-within-the-story, in which the title vampire Louis (Brad Pitt) lays out his history. And that's a pretty nice story. How he himself became a vampire about two hundred years ago at the hands of Lestat (Tom Cruise), his adventures in (mainly) Louisiana around 1800 and the Paris of, well, sometime later in the 19th century - but also the moral problems that Louis has with his vampirism, unlike Lestat. The vampire girl Claudia was also a nice addition. It's Hollywood vampires, but in an entertaining way, if a little long - but this rewatch certainly didn't disappoint me.

I think the film wants to be horror - like the average Dracula film - but chooses a premise that they would have thought to be the original but which actually makes the film more comedy than horror: the vampire is made human so that the vampire in question is feels guilty to have to kill people, forms an alternative family with another male vampire and vampire girl (in any case, the film hints at gay sex all the time), the girl has puberty tricks and after quarrels is made up and cuddled, etc. also want to be funny. The film is so stuck between horror and comedy and fails for both genres. The film does have a nice, gothic atmosphere and is at times quite entertaining.

Interview with the Vampire is a long film that never really gets boring. The story takes you into the dark and lonely existence of the vampires. It entertained me immensely.
