Watch: New Japanese Trailer For Jim Jarmusch's 'Only Lovers Left Alive' Plus Russian Poster

The holiday season is fast approaching with the new year not far behind. One upcoming 2014 film you’ve no doubt noticed we’re fans of is Jim Jarmusch’s “Only Lovers Left Alive.” During its lap through festivals across the globe, many of The Playlist team succumbed to its charms. On the heels of the recent batch of photos from the vampiric film released earlier this week, a new poster and trailer have been released online.

HAHA OMFG YAAAAAAAASSSSS!!!

So the guys over at IndieWire Playlist credited my ONTD post about "Only Lovers Left Alive" as their source.

BOOYAH BITCHES!

Inside The Snowpiercer 02 : Protein Block Section + Water Supply Section While the elites in the Front enjoy a luxurious array of food options, the only food rationed to the people in the Tail Section is a substance called a "protein block". It is a large, black, and translucent jelly bar which looks similar to a Japanese red bean dessert. The ingredients that make up a typical protein block remain ambiguous to the Tail Section people, but they are resigned to resort to eating these tasteless bars on a daily basis. Protein blocks are the sole source of nutrition and contain the bare minimum required for survival among the people of the Tail Section. The protein blocks themselves are produced in the area adjacent to the Greenhouse Section of the Snowpiercer. Previously, the machines in this car created fertilizer, but it has since been modified to manufacture the protein bars that are distributed to the Tail Section. Since all the foods are controlled by the Front, the jelly-like substance made in the machine housed in the Protein Block Section is the only lifeline for the Tail Section people. Also produced within the Protein Block Section is a substance called "kronole". These are small, greenish cubes which are highly flammable and give off a hallucinating effect when inhaled. Kronole is now considered as a popular new form of recreational drug, replacing the now-extinct cigarettes, that is abused by both the indulgent elites in the Front and the derelict addicts in the Tail. Close to the Greenhouse and Protein Block Sections of the train is the Water Supply facility. As the train perpetually circles the globe, it constantly encounters large barriers of ice and compacted snow which the train easily pierces through with sheer force (hence the name, Snowpiercer). The head of the train was designed to catch large chunks of ice and snow and goes through an intricate system and ends up in the Water Supply section. It is here that the melted ice and snow is cleansed, filtered, and sterilized before it is redistributed to the Front Section. But while the collected water is transported to the Tail Section as well, the water is barely usable as the amount the Tail dwellers receive is extremely scant and the pipelines running toward the back of the train are poorly managed.

Inside The Snowpiercer 01 : Tail Section + Prison Section The Snowpiercer is composed of sixty (60) cars and its last twenty (20) make up the Tail Section. When the world froze, people with no tickets hopped onto these cargo sections. After the Front Section seized control of the food and other useful resources from these cars, people have reinvented the space into residential areas. These sections are overcrowded, are scarce of water, and lack proper heating. While the passengers of the Front enjoy comfortable and affluent lives, the people living in the Tail are trapped in such hellish conditions as access to the Front is denied to them by heavily armed soldiers. +++ The Plaza : Tail Section people are summoned here to receive their rations or sit through humiliating public announcements from the Front Section authorities such as Minister Mason (Tilda Swinton). This is also where the people line up to receive their daily ration of protein blocks from the soldiers. Public Area : Next to the residential area is a communal space for the Tail Section people. It houses bathrooms with very limited water access, a hospital where minimal treatment is available, and a corner known as Painter's Place where the Tail Section's artistic historian resides. Residential Area : This portion of the Tail Section was reconstructed by the passengers with leftover material from the then cargo areas that the Front Section didn't bother to take away. Between a long and narrow corridor stand multi-story beds housing thousands of people. The extremely limited space have forced at least two or three people to share a single bed, with others having to improvise a sleeping sanctuary with hammocks hung between the upper levels of the bedspaces. The Slum : This communal area of the Tail Section is where the passengers go about their everyday lives aboard the train--kids zigzag through narrow corridors, wise men play chess, devotees gather for prayers, and women trade goods with each other. Gilliam's Tent : On the very end of the Snowpiercer resides the guardian of the Tail Section, Gilliam (John Hurt). His tent sits on the complete opposite end of the train as opposed to the Engine Section, where Wilford (Ed Harris) lives. The tent is guarded by the twelve (12) great elders of the Tail Section. Prison Section : Originally, smaller cages housed pigs and chickens while the bigger cells carried horses and cows. The cells now carry political prisoners or criminals who have disturbed the peace of the train, such as Namgoong Minsu (Song Kang-Ho). When the Front seized control of the Tail Section, this area became the border between the Front and the Tail within the Snowpiercer. The armed guards who patrol the Tail Section are required to cleanse themselves in the Quarantine Section.
