Cannes Adds Jim Jarmusch’s Vampire Film

“Only Lovers Left Alive,” a vampire film by Jim Jarmusch, has been added to the lineup in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, its organizers said.

Mr. Jarmusch, who won the festival’s Grand Prix in 2005 for his comedy drama “Broken Flowers,” wrote and directed “Only Lovers Left Alive,” which stars Tom Hiddleston (“The Avengers”) and Tilda Swinton (“We Need to Talk About Kevin”) as paramours who drift apart and reunite over the centuries. The cast also includes Mia Wasikowska, John Hurt and Anton Yelchin.

This year’s Cannes Film Festival will run from May 15 through 26 and will open with Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of “The Great Gatsby.” Other films on its competition slate include Joel and Ethan Coen’s “Inside Llewyn Davis,” Steven Soderbergh’s “Behind the Candelabra” and Alexander Payne’s “Nebraska.”
