082. Luca Guadagnino: I Am Love

Wilson, Ben, and Eli
About this episode

Join us as we reenter the lush and sensual world of Luca Guadagnino and discover “il costo dell'ecstasy” in his 2009 film I Am Love. Wilson savours the intentional mistakes in technique that feel like a part of the world of the film. Eli gives a brief lesson on editing, drawing parallels all the way back to the Eisenstein method of montage. Ben directs attention to the powerful scenes of melodramatic realisation across Guadagnino’s work. Why not dine with us?
