Jim Jarmusch is a wonderfully idiosyncratic filmmaker, that has had a fan following for over thirty years.  When you watch one of his films, what you don't get is something crafted by a bunch of studio execs over a conference table.

You get Jim Jarmusch.

Only Lovers Left Alive is a lovingly crafted, simple film, about an older couple, living apart, who reunite, only to be forced from their environment by a slightly nutty, friendly interloper from their past.

Shot in Morocco, Germany, but mostly in the Detroit area, inclusive of the old Michigan Theater, it has a slow (actually very slow) deliberate style, somehow fitting the subject matter.

The Blu-ray looks as it should, as it was shot with an Alexa.  The image appears as pure data, with nary a bit of grain or noise in sight.

A nice looking Blu-ray, with little information to up-rez.  I found the track to be slightly muddled in a couple of sequences, but never a problem.
