So beautiful

I was lucky enough to see this last year at the BFI screening in London, and last night was able to see it again with an intro by the director himself.

I'm not a fan of art house, pretentious movies. I find them dull and pointless, and I feel that this film has been presented by some media as a film of this type. That couldn't be more wrong. This film is a celebration of life, beauty, love, humanity and so many other things.

It is also hilarious! The dark posters and promo materials make this look like it will be a dull bore fest, but it truly is utterly wonderful in its humour, it's sweetness and light along with darker moments.

Tilda Swinton is the vamp we all want in our lives; humble, curious and so very optimistic, she is a joy.

My beloved Mr. Hiddleston is wonderful on so many levels. His Adam is both bleak and funny, his love for Eve redeeming him from being an 'angsty teen' character.

Go watch this beautiful movie. Enjoy the soundtrack (which is AMAZING!), the humour, the joy and curiosity, the excitement of just being alive.

Go watch it! Go now!
