First. The debut feature from the director of Top Gun. :shock: Never is the V word uttered, or other tropes thrown around. The otherwise perpetrated romantic notion of eternal life is shown with perverse betrayal. A rattle sounds on the soundtrack and no snake is seen. Beautiful mask for aged face. Alice, oh Alice, please spit out your gum! Easiest overall metaphor is addiction, duh, yet I wonder if there is a hidden one? Possibly about H.I.V.? Heavy inter-cutting of scenes former and current in the beginning quite jarring, I won't confuse them for MTv flavour. Climax reminds me strongly of a chase in a building 'tween a Nex6 and a slave: who creates who? A preserved capsule, no kitsch. Will see again.
If you like this one, I definitely recommend Abel Ferrara's The Addiction and Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive.

Yeah, I know the Jarmusch one. It's all right, considering that he's the director I reckon who does movies only for himself, rather than audiences. I felt trolled with one of his others, as in breaking 4th wall for no apparent reason.
The other I have to read up, though I dig AF's Body Snatchers. Thanks.
