Vampire's Kiss
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Robert Bierman
1989 / 104min / DCP
Written by Joseph Minion, earlier author of the screenplay for Martin Scorsese’s After Hours (1985), Bierman’s gut-busting Grand Guignol offers another memorably stygian view of 1980s Manhattan, with Cage as a snide yuppie literary agent who becomes increasingly, fabulously, floridly frenetic as his conviction grows that he’s turning into a vampire after a one-night-stand with bloodsucker Jennifer Beals. “Nicolas Cage is airily amazing as… a poseur with a high-flown accent and a pouty, snobbish stare—he does some way-out stuff that you love actors in silent movies for doing… This may be the first vampire movie in which the modern office building replaces the castle as the site of torture and degradation.” —Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
