Character name is Adam and Eve, they live in the world since time immemorial, and play vampires Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston. Back in the picture is Mia Wasikowska, who plays vampire sister - her complete opposite. Jarmusch, as always, is full of existentialism and the grim certainty that if anything will save the world, then certainly not humanity.

Coen brothers extraordinarily prolific - once a year, they will certainly shoot the new tape, which are necessarily at the Cannes Film Festival.

Even if their new film - quite a bit of work-through "gentlemen's Games", you can be sure that the film will be the best of smart, sad and philosophical, the protagonist - the usual restless, criticism is itself benevolence. Oscar Isaac plays a musician 60s, which most of those for whom he wrote the music, obviously despises, considering his usual sonneteer and labuhom. The hero rushes and sings a lot by doing this, everyone is always doing in the Coen, very reliable.
