Io sono l'amore

Luca Guadagnino's 2009 film is a combination of La Grande Bellezza and Festen. A pleasantly languid film where you both dream away and watch in horror as a family collapses.

The Italian Io sono l'amore (2009) is one of the earlier films by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Challengers). The story follows Emma (Tilda Swinton), a Russian woman living in Milan with her husband, a wealthy industrialist family. While her husband is busy with the family business, Emma develops an intense and forbidden romantic relationship with one of her children's friends, the young chef Antonio. This relationship changes her life and confronts her with her own desires and the complex dynamics within her family.

Io sono l'amore is a combination of La Grande Bellezza and Festen. A pleasantly languid film where you both dream away and watch in horror as a family collapses. The visual aspect of the film is important, with a lot of emphasis on fashion, style and the aesthetics of the Italian bourgeoisie.
