Immortelle

Not sure about the negative reviews, however, the film wasn't the disaster some are writing about it.

It is a different slant on the Vampire Genre, with more of a: "Tortured Artist, meets Tortured Soul" thing going on.

There was a lot being said without the need for dialog to get in the way of the viewer to use their own imaginations.

I like that approach rather than being spoon fed all the way through a film.

Art, addiction, regret, and perhaps finding love after all?

The actress "Tortured Soul" (Sarah Roemer) nailed the piercing stare aspect of the Vampiress Vivian. Sarah also projected the anguish and longing of her undead character.

(Luke Grimes) did a pretty damned good job of portraying Max, the films "Tortured Artist".

Anyway, I didn't think the film to be too bad, and yes... I would watch it again.

BTW: The painting. What would you have seen? Good topic for a conversation.

I've had this on my watch list for sometime and was surprised Not the violent type that is typical of vampire movies. Did not end like I thought it would and that's the only thing I found disappointing in the film. I would of made a different choice if I was that artist in that predicament.

No good casting, slow storyline, unfortunately a bit boring

A bunch of missed opportunities with this picture kept it stuck in a slow motion loop more or less replaying the same scenes over and over, with lots of coughing. Grade: C-

Maybe I saw too many vampire movies ? I found this one as cliché as possible. Nightclubs full of lost souls, drugs and alcohol, sex and nihilism... The lead is supposed to be a tortured artist yet behaves more like a moody teenager. The art worl depiction is superficial.

Still, some good points : although unoriginal, the aesthetics are perfect. I also appreciate the ending, that is the choice of both leads with regards to immortality. It suits the theme of the movie.

I give five stars : I would have loved it were I still a teenager. The pacing, the tone, the theme remind me of an Anne Rice - like novel.
