119 mins - United Kingdom / Ireland 2012
Director: Neil Jordan
Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Gemma Arterton and Sam Riley
Upon the wind swept shores of a desolate coastal town stands the Byzantium guesthouse.
After years of being abandoned, its doors are about to be opened again by the predatory
and seductive Clara, who plans on turning the hotel into a brothel, and her young and
introverted daughter Eleanor. But these mysterious women have a dark secret that goes
back 200 years and is about to reach its ungodly and deathly climax. BYZANTIUM is the
second vampire-themed film by Neil Jordan (the first being INTERVIEW WITH THE
VAMPIRE) and one that is equally as atmospheric and enthralling, featuring two fantastic
performances from Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan.
“A pensive, intelligent vampire-angst movie.” SciFiNow
