I Am Love

The Brief

Russian-born Emma is a mother and wife in a tradition-bound Italian upper-class family. She begins a passionate affair with the chef Antonio, while dramatic changes affect the extended family. The film forms the first part of Luca Guadagnino's so-called desire trilogy alongside Call Me by Your Name and A Bigger Splash. Tilda Swinton shines in this drama about love and rebellion against the bourgeoisie.
