I suppose this movie was loosely about vampires, but it also seemed it was about beautiful people. You even had to be beautiful to be chosen by the stunning Catherine Deneuve and the eccentric/striking David Bowie. This movie is definitely a cult classic.

Although since the mid eighties vampire movies have evolved into stories that have more of a plot, I still like this one even though it was all about "posing", and the plot what somewhat vague. The colors were beautiful, the music, the dialog was minimal which gave it a strong sense of obscurity and importance. The opening is just great with Bauhaus playing the tune Bela Lugosi is dead (that's actually Pete Murphy you see).

This flick is one of the first that I have seen in which the vampires are just too "cool".
