“Tilda Swinton and Luca Guadagnino: a match made in arthouse cinema heaven”THE GUARDIAN

The intensely talented, Oscar®-winning indie queen Tilda Swinton leads the investigation of a murder beyond comprehension which is turned into stream-of-consciousness film-making by the innovative director of I AM LOVE, Luca Guadagnino.


Before making the international art-house hitSuspiria, A BIGGER SPLASH and I AM LOVE,Tilda SwintonandLuca Guadagninofirst gelled when the maverick actress guided her filmmaker friend and crew in the investigation of the – unfortunately true – story of a horrific,senseless murder. Two teenagers ventured down from Oxford into London on a bloodlust impulse: believing their psychopathic delusion that this was some special-forces type challenge, the cowardly pair mercilessly murdered an innocent passing motorist.

The pair,Swinton-Guadagnino, (whose muse-director affinity is likened to hers and Derek Jarman’s) examine every physical and mental aspect of the crime, in an effort to understand both the intimate relationship between this out-of-the-ordinary act of violence and real life and also the way crime can affect the lives of any one of us; they present the viewer with – in the filmmaker’s words:“anonliteral language of light, of space and time and behaviour. The language of the unexpected’’.
