Anyone else left in 'throes of increasing wonder'?
To be fair, the '90s were a different era. Hollywood wasn't exactly forthcoming when it came to hot sexy gay vampires, or even hot sexy gay humans for that matter. And that's why Anne Rice even considered rewriting Louis as a woman when she first started working on the screenplay.
A friendship ensues, but both men develop an ulterior attraction. Louis is clearly drawn to Lestat with a barely suppressed longing, while Lestat is likewise infatuated with Louis, but in a far more predatory fashion. The kissing quickly escalates with Lestat necking Louis from behind, first without teeth, and then with teeth. Louis doesn't care about that though. In fact, he revels in it, and so, for the first time ever, Anne Rice fans get to see one of these homoerotic feedings as something that's explicitly queer onscreen.
Now, don't get us wrong. There are some extremely toxic power dynamics at play here, and we're not condoning any of that.
