I Am Love (2009)
Director Luca Guadagnino deconstructs the melodrama of the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s and nearly creates a neo-genre. The movie is purposely mounted via a lush visual pallet and edited to accommodate the culturally deprived millennial audience. Be convinced, Tilda Swinton offers her most important work in this film. In addition, the entire cast is first-rate however, THIS IS a showcase for Miss Swinton. I Am Love finds a way to break-through its seemingly deliberate pretentiousness and connects as an amazing emotional journey. The denouement is sad and exhilarating. A movie like this could never be made in America and if attempted, would be a complete failure. Not to be duplicated by other hands.
