Popcorn Culture - Throwback: Interview with the Vampire

Adapted from Anne Rice’s wildly popular vampire novel, this 1994 movie features some huge Hollywood names - Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas, and a thoroughly creepy Kirsten Dunst in one of her early roles - hamming it up in full undead period glamour. Framed through a modern-day interview with a vampire named Louis (Pitt), the plot revolves around his relationship in the 1700s with Lestat (Cruise) and the 10-year-old Claudia (Dunst). We talk about the movie’s glorious excesses and whether it still has (ahem) bite.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
