Search: Directed by Luca Guadagnino

Guadagnino is tilting at windmills and there isn’t even any wind.

The balance of subjectivity and object status becomes important in a story whose protagonists are always potentially dangerous to one another.

You have to care for these people to give a damn. That's hard.

It is fundamentally a film about the workings of infatuation with a charmed fever that contaminates its characters.

The whole thing is ludicrously dragged out over 13 years, and sitting through it feels like longer.

I Am Love is social melodrama in the best traditions of Italian cinema.

There’s also an emperor’s new clothes feeling to the general style, look closely and there's very little there.

If we compared the original to a Mark Rothko canvas - a distillation of raw emotion - this version is more akin to a colossal, baffling kinetic sculpture, one that seems to exist in more dimensions than it ought to.
