Developed decadence - Only lovers left alive

For some reason, I had the notion that Jim Jarmush was non American. However, the trope of 'for some reason' is loaded with a conscious conniving sense of escapism, Precisely the avenue Jarmush likes to tread in, trade in.
The locale of the movie bore a resemblance with the numerous eastern European spaces depicted in various aesthetic platforms. These typically signified the economic downfall of the region, inevitably insinuating at the futility or rather the non viability of the Soviet government, translating the idea of socialism as obsolete, and in the process, perpetuating the politically incorrect portrayal of history. (These works of art are usually celebrated by people, who use these to legitimize their claims on the ways of the world, denigrating the insignificant voice of the 80 percent of the world population.)
Thanks to the well established motif of the dilapidated red regime aftermaths, the film's canvassing of present day post recession Detroit helped me connect the dots between the Russian and the American distress. Social fibers have always been torn apart due to economic breakdowns. It transcends petty religious, political, partisan blame games and chest poundings. It is universal. Historical.
Only Lovers Left Alive dwells on the universality of the human race. The oeuvre of Literature providing the basis of its narrative. Timelessness is ruggedly palpable in this movie.
If Jesus was a lonely sailor who sank beneath his wisdom, then Adam and Eve were perhaps smarter than him. Adam chose the sensible path of languor, mocking the much celebrated and over hyped construct of industrious dexterity. Eve chose to live in Africa, who unlike Adam, had forsaken the idea that there is still good 'blood' left in the first world America... and so did Christopher Marlowe!
Oh, before I forget and divert into other silly impertinent banters- this is a 'vampire' movie which also has zombies in it. Doctors in the movies often get their names mixed up. Faust becomes Calligari who can be called Strangelove as well! Names are but noise and smoke obscuring the heavenly light. Just that, there is no 'heaven' per-se in the movie, not even remotely. Marlowe dies of food poisoning, or blood poisoning. Blood, which of course is the food of the vampires. No horror here. While in a developed and civilized society it is getting harder to gain access to unadulterated blood by the quintessential kill-drink-dump vampire exercise, the cause of Marlowe's death was the contaminated blood he procured from the city Hospital of an underdeveloped third world nation.
The movie does not waste aesthetic energy over magnifying the stark contrast between the simultaneous development and decadence of humanity. That is the agreed understanding one starts the movie with. Instead, the director is more interested in the dialectics of being, of existence...
Adam and Eve talk about radiant stars emitting the sound of a gong in the vacuum of outer space, of Einstein theories, of how the mainstream hullabaloo of the 'culture industry' can be offset by sheer intellectual brilliance, how Shakespeare was a bloody Marlowe rip off, and how the Marloewes are always non nonchalant at the market driven definition of Shakespearean success.
They are driven by blood. They are the vampires. The rest are all exasperating zombies!
