In 'Interview with the Vampire', centuries-old vampire Louis (pronounced Louie) runs into a reporter around the mid 90s (when the film was made) proves to him that he's a vampire and then tells the story of his life, from his vampire birth up till the present. The movie is in a flashback-type form- it cuts between Louis telling his story and the events in the story happening. As for violence and sex, I can honestly tell you that what's in here is equivalent to a TV-14 show like Supernatural (the only thing that might be troublesome is the fact that there's frontal female nudity in one scene). As for the themes of life and death, it's best suited for teens and up because they're pretty mature themes. It is a very wonderful movie though, and it draws you in from the moments Louis starts his story.
