Now this is how you do an adaptation that while still has changes from the book, preserves the central spirit of it without compromising on the core tenants of the creator's vision. Beautiful, haunting, mesmerising, this is the Vampire Chronicles in its greatest glory. The 2022 tv show is cheap flavor of the month in comparison. I do not know if we will ever see another good adaptation of the VC, but if we do, I truly hope it respects the vision of Anne like this movie did. Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst more than live up to the iconic characters they portray, and more than likely will never be surpassed.
