Only Lovers Left Alive – “Trapped By A Thing Called Love”
Music is a huge, underlying theme in Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive due to the characters Adam (Tom Hiddleson) and Eve (Tilda Swinton) and their adoration of all things art and expression. They get a quiet, retrospective moment to reflect on both their love of music, dancing and each other with the song “Trapped By a Thing Called Love” by Denise Lasalle. It’s not quite as in your face meditative or eerie as the rest of the movie, it’s actually quite sweet, and it brings these two vampires to life in a manner in which we hadn’t yet seen in the movie.
