THE IMMORTAL AUGUSTUS GLADSTONE - feature film
When Augustus claims he’s 150 years old, a documentary film crew begins to follow him around. While squatting in an abandoned hotel, he begins to share outrageous tales about living out with French Counts, befriending Andy Warhol and mingling with vampires.
"As with Jim Jarmusch’s recent Only Lovers Left Alive, this is another look at vampires that avoids the traditional horror view and treats them as people living their extended lives in an anonymous and rather mundane way."
