THE ADDICTION directed by Abel Ferrara (USA, 1995)
I wanted to see this movie since, according to the Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw, it is the best film ever made.
I like Bradshaw’s reviews and more often than not agree with his opinions. I especially like the fact that he doesn’t take an elitist position; he is as likely praise the merits of Toy Story as the works of Tarkovsky.
The Addiction is a vampire movie like no other. Actually it is better to see it as an intense existential drama with theological overtones rather than as a straight horror film.
