The 61-year-old Jim Jarmusch is the lone wolf of American indie cinema. After DIY beginnings, he found his niche as an idiosyncratic auteur able to take on different genres – the western in 1995’s ‘Dead Man’, the romcom in 2005’s ‘Broken Flowers’ – and inject them with his unique brand of hipster humour, wry intelligence and wistful romanticism. His latest experiment is ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’, in which Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston play centuries-old vampires struggling to come to terms with modern life.
Q； What made you look at Tilda Swinton and think ‘vampire’?
A； ‘Vampires aren’t lumbering mindless monsters, they’re sophisticated. Tilda seems very vampiric to me. She’s pale, she’s fine-featured, she moves in a graceful way. When I wa s filming her walking through the streets of Tangier, I realised there was a kind of preda tor in her.’
Q； Tom Hiddleston stepped in to replace Michael Fassbender. What was it about Tom that appealed to you?
A； ‘At first I was at a loss, because I love Michael, but I think there was a reason it became Tom. Michael has a visceral quality, but Tom was able to bring something more cerebra l. I’d seen him in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris”, and I thought: No, that’s not my guy. But I had the chance to meet him in New York and it was incredible. He was so tall and graceful and physically elegant, and he got every reference I threw at him.
‘Over the years, every time this project fell apart I’d call Tilda and she’d say, “It’s good, i t means we weren’t ready yet.” We had to wait until we had all the right parts, and Tom was one of them.’

Q; There’s a lot of dry humour in this film, as there always is in your work…
A; ‘I start every movie thinking how heavy and purposeful it is. But as we film they just get f unnier. In the editing room I ended up saying to myself, hey, it’s really just a comedy, Ji m. I don’t seem to be able to remove that inclination to humour if I try.’
Q; What made you decide to use music by your own band, Sqürl, in the film?
A; ‘I always wanted the movie to be drenched in music, but our budget was limited and Sq ürl work very cheap! Also, I’d decided that our musician character, Adam, should be ant i-virtuoso at this point in his life, so to use Sqürl just made sense: we make slow, molten drone rock.’

Q; The film is steeped in a kind of sensuous decay. Are you a romantic at heart?
A; ‘I don’t know about that, but I do find romantic appeal in desolation and post-industrial l andscapes. The cities in the film are very important, Detroit and Tangier. Detroit is a de populated ghost town, and Tangier is a crumbling place that’s full of life. These location s help define the characters.’
Q; One of the great lines in the movie is when Adam says: ‘We don’t know shit about fungi. ’ Is that true?
A; ‘Ha! It is true! I became an amateur mycologist years ago when I had a very nice plate o f pappardelle and wild mushrooms in a restaurant in New York, and by midnight all my in ternal organs were beginning to shut down. I was rushed to hospital, and if I’d gotten the re one hour later I would’ve been gone. So I became very interested, and I discovered h ow much we don’t know.
‘Their DNA is closer to animals than plants. They obviously have psychoactive propertie s. Some believe they arrived from outer space and affected our evolution. They’re the la rgest organism on earth. Many believe they have a powerful intelligence. They are quite phenomenal. I could go on, but I’ll spare you…’

Q 是什么让你选了Tilda Swinton并能想到吸血鬼呢
A 吸血鬼并不是没有思想的猛兽，他们是复杂的，对于我来说Tilda非常像吸血鬼。她很白， 并非常有特点，她的行为举止非常优雅。当我们拍摄她穿过Tangier大街时，我意识到，在 她身体里有一种捕食者的特性。
重点来了
Q Tom Hiddleston代替了Michael Fassbender。Tom有什么地方吸引你呢
A 一开始我觉得不知所措，因为我非常喜欢Michael。但是我想换成Tom一定是有原因的。Mi chael 有一种本质的才能，但Tom能使有些东西更好。我在 Woody Allen的Midnight in Pari s见过他，并且我想’‘oh 不，那不是我要的人’‘。但我有一次在纽约跟他见面的机会，真是难 以置信。他太高了，举止和身体都非常优雅，并且他参考了每一个我给的建议
这几年里，每次这个项目失败我都打给 Tilda ，她说’‘那很好啊，那意味着我们没准备好’， 我们只能等到我们感觉都对了，Tom就是其中之一。
LL表示十分惭愧，语文太烂了，拼不出来人话，就凑合着看吧
