"For our film, the vampire is a resonant
metaphor — a way to frame the deeper
intentions of the story. This is a love story,
but also the story of two exceptional
outsiders who, given their unusual
circumstances, have a vast overview of
human and natural history, including
stunning achievements and tragic and brutal
failures. Adam and Eve are themselves
metaphors for the present state of human
life — they are fragile and endangered,
susceptible to natural forces, and to the
shortsighted behavior of those in power."
