Byzantium

Jordan Neil

Ireland, United States, United Kingdom, 2012, 118', Swiss Premiere

If there’s one fantastical myth that has taken a beating in recent years, it is most certainly that of the vampire. It was high time that Neil Jordan, the man who left his mark on the genre with Interview with the Vampire, got things back on track. Elegant, poetic, bloody and sexy (Gemma Arterton is to die for), the magnificent Byzantium follows the journey of a vampire mother and daughter, providing a fitting finale to the thirteenth edition of the NIFFF !
