Italy, 2009 Directed:
Luca Guadagnino. Starring:
Tilda Swindon and
Edoardo Gabbriellini.
This movie so far has been my favorite foreign film in the last couple of years. Ever since Amelie I haven't felt so emotional for a feature film. So soft and subtle but so alive and strong.
I Am Love follows the wealthy Italian Recchi family during their period of turmoil in the dawning years of the new millennium. There are a number of changes and confrontations experience by all, but the most intriguing, and important, revolves around Emma’s (
Tilda Swinton) affair with young chef Antonio (
Edoardo Gabbriellini). Most impressively,
Swinton learn Italian with a Russian accent for the role and she is most convincing.
