I Am Love

Italian writer and director Luca Guadagnino delivers a knockout with this superb film. When a young chef becomes friends with the heir of a wealthy Milanese family, he falls in love with his Russian mother which leads to tragedy. It's hard to simplify the story but it touches on several themes such as culinary passion and forbidden love among others that's spellbinding. The ever amazing Tilda Swinton produced and stars along veteran and newcomers that make the outstanding cast. Beautifully written and executed on every possible level that makes for glorious film making and makes Guadagnino one of most talented directors in Italian cinema. The score by American composer John Adams adds to the glory of this magnificent film. YRCinema's coverage of the Toronto International Film Festival.
