Intervista col Vampiro

I actually enjoyed Interview with the Vampire even more than I thought I would. I liked the movie so I thought this would be a little bit of a disappointment but it wasn't. Far from it. This one actually takes place in our current year. Vampire Louie de Pointe du Lac is currently living in Dubai and is telling his life story to a journalist. The story starts in New Orleans in the 20th century and shows how he met the vampire Lestat du Lioncourt and how they started their family with the two of them and teen vampire Claudia. It's much like the movie where the story follows Louie telling his side of the story to the journalist. It's also different in many ways to the movie, not bad just different. I've actually come to like it even more than the movie.

Lestat is everything! His actor is superb, his Lestat carries such an allure and he's magnetic when he's on screen, just like a real vampire. He said it's always been his dream role and you can tell with how much effort he puts into the character. The entire cast is noteworthy but the standout for me is Lestat.

I had somehow never heard of Anne Rice or Interview with the Vampire (wish I did because I would've loved the books as a kid) but this was such a fantastic introduction. I will definitely be reading The Vampire Lestat while I giddily wait for season 3.

You can tell everyone involved is so passionate about this show and the show-runner has a strong vision and knows exactly what he wants. I hope they continue making fantastic TV!

This show captivated me from start to finish! Although I hadn't read the book and only vaguely remembered the movie, the show's bold portrayal of love and passion left an indelible mark. The unabashed depiction of the relationship between Lestat and Louis might have deterred some viewers because of the homosexual theme, but I found it to be a beautiful and authentic portrayal of deep connection.

Sam Reid's performance as Lestat is nothing short of mesmerizing! His every mannerism, expression, and especially his voice, embody the essence of a vampire so convincingly that it feels almost real. Jacob Anderson's portrayal of Louis is equally remarkable, showcasing a depth and range that took me by surprise, especially knowing him from his stoic role as Grey Worm in Game of Thrones. The chemistry between Reid and Anderson is palpable, creating a dynamic that is both intense and moving.

Despite some people's reluctance to embrace the show's themes, they TRULY miss out on a TRULY exceptional series. The emotional resonance and impeccable performances made me smile and applaud by the end! Interview with the Vampire is a masterful blend of storytelling and acting prowess, with Sam Reid as the shining star who brings the entire show to life.

Interview with the Vampire was actually even better than I was expecting. It's based on Anne Rice's popular novel about a family of vampires through the years. This is made with mostly unknown actors who all do a great job in their roles. There was also a popular movie about this made in 1994 with Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst. Obviously most people will compare the two and even though I liked the movie a little more this more than holds up and stands in its own. I never read the books but I've read that this show is a lot closer to it than the movie was. You can tell they try to respect the source material as much as possible and even had Anne Rice help create the show and have her on as an executive producer before her death last year. After reading through the reviews I'm glad that most people seem to agree with me that this is a good show.

There are things I wanted to say but cannot. This show is everything! The acting is superb, all the story lines are amazing. Every time I rewatch I see it from a different perspective. It's also seemingly such a mirror of life and how sometimes we do not see what those we love are actually doing to us. The games they play, and the way we ignore the obvious in order to keep living the delusional life. Lestat, Lestat, Lestat! Such incredible acting one min. I hate him, then I feel sorry for him then I'm just literally falling for this flirty vampire. Louie! Oh man I have felt like Louie totally blinded by love or the idea of love yet lonely. I can go on and on but all the characters brought something to this series. Phenomenal cast and directing.

This story lives in my head rent free! Can't wait for next season!
