Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (3/5) Movie CLIP - Forever Young (1994) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Claudia (Kirsten Dunst) struggles to come to terms with the fact that she will never grow old.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Anne Rice's best-selling romantic horror tale about the origins of a centuries-old vampire inspired this popular, atmospheric chiller. One of director Neil Jordan's major Hollywood productions, the film stays close to its source material, retaining the frame of a young reporter (Christian Slater) interviewing a man who claims to be a 200-year-old vampire. The man, Louis (Brad Pitt), shares his story, beginning in 18th-century New Orleans with his first encounters with the charismatic and decadent vampire Lestat (Tom Cruise). Lestat converts Louis to blood-sucking and immortality, but Louis fails to adopt Lestat's cavalier attitude, instead tormenting himself with guilt over his new nature. The two vampires remain deeply, if reluctantly, connected over the years, while becoming intimately involved with others of their kind, including Claudia (Kirsten Dunst), a mature immortal in a young child's body. Fans of the novel raised numerous objections, particularly after Rice initially spoke out against the casting of Cruise as Lestat; further casting difficulties followed the death of River Phoenix, whose role as the interviewer was assumed by Christian Slater. Rice later recanted her objections, and the combination of thrills and gothic romance proved popular with audiences.

"I think a kid will save our relationship"

[bartolomeestebanmurillo]

Child immortals are the most horrifying and arguably tragic characters. Their bodies don't change but their minds grow, they are adults trapped in the bodies of kids. It makes them bitter; turning them cruel and cold.

[FoxNHound]

I still think it’s absolutely hilarious that Lestat basically baby trapped Louie with Claudia.

[AtenRa]

Proof that she utterly loves Louis: When she screams "WHICH ONE OF YOU DID IT?!" she doesn't even look at Louis as she blows right past him gunning straight for Lestat. She believes in her heart Louis couldn't ever and she puts him completely out of her mind.

[levijames]

Two vampire dads struggle to keep up with their preteen’s mood swings.

[Banyo__]

You want to give someone the real credit for this movie, I think it has to go to Dunst, who at what 11, is playing a fully grown woman trapped in a child's body. Can you imagine trying to play the adult version of yourself as an undead thing at 11 when you have no idea how to even be an adult. There are points in the movie where its so eerie how good she is in this.

[FuzzySoulTiger]

Kirsten Dunst should've been nominated for Best Supporting Actress. This is really impressive

[H.J.G]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Dunst was 11 at the time of filming this. Eleven.
And with two of the biggest powerhouses of heartthrobs in Hollywood, she completely tore this scene apart. If I was a grown man, I would have felt extremely uncomfortable filming this scene with such a young and seemingly innocent child actor. She is grossly underrated as an actor.

[morticn]

This was Kirsten's best role, she was a young gift to acting.

[EdMcStinko]

Dunst is great in this.
An adult trapped inside the body of a child.
Very convincing.

[hammeredandsauteed]

She was so amazing in the movie. That last line, “You get rid of it!” She sounded like a grown woman trapped in a child’s body.

[LilaCerullos]

I love how both in books and the movie Claudia and Lestat are always like in a shouting match while Louis stand in the middle in case he has to intervene and simultaneously suffering a crisis but trying to be the moderator...I know the movie is different from the book but Kirsten, Brad and Tom acting are just amazing, I love both.

[peachgloss]

Claudia: -screams-
Lestat: -screams louder-

[cookiemunster]

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were the hottest vampires of the 90s lol my all time favorite movie ever.

[harveysengers]

For a child to act like an adult in such a convincing way is bizarre. Oscar worthy performance.

[stefanierenecozette]

Can I just say Kirsten Dunst’s acting as a child was outstanding and honestly upstaging most of her roles she’s done as an adult.
Great scene

[shannonsturges]

I love how at 00:32 when Lestat is yelling Louis puts up his hand like "shut up" cause he didn't want his daughter yelled at.

[ZilkenianDavenport]

Yeah, this is when Clauda is already an 'adult'. In the book is explained better: while her body can't grow up, her mind can, and at some point she's a woman trapped in a child's body.
I love the hard fight she has with herself in the book.

[ellenrendall]

2:10 the delivery of this line is just perfect

[lashermayfair]

I think this film is the best performance that all 3 of these actors have ever given. I don't even remember that it's Tom Cruise most of the time, he embodies Lestat so well. Brad Pitt shows the anguish that eats Louis up perfectly. And Kirsten Dunst is an absolute marvel portraying Claudia!
