I Am Love

penwith film society
Io sono l'amore
directed by: 
Luca Guadagnino
with: 
Tilda Swinton, Flavio Parenti, Edoardo Gabbriellini, Alba Rohrwacher

From the apparent orderliness and perfection of a wealthy Milanese family life, the glacial Emma is gradually seduced into what becomes a headlong rush into the realms of the senses. Tilda Swinton's performance is a profoundly moving portrayal of an outsider finding the mask she has donned to fit in simply inadequate in the face of passion and the power of unconditional love. A film (scored by John Adams) both of operatic magnificence and painful delicacy.

Softly lit and varying its focus, [this] filmmaking is supple and loose — it cascades. - Tim Robey, The Telegraph
“It's a high-IQ picture – there are few enough of those – and it's fascinating.... A gorgeously costumed and styled piece of work”. Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
