I Am Love-2009<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Luca Guadagnino<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starring Tilda Swinton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #545<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed December 11, 2016<\/p>\n

Grade: A<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tilda Swinton shines in I Am Love, \u00a0an amazing Italian film from 2009 that I wish received wider recognition, but alas, some of the best films do not receive their due.<\/p>\n

Swinton stars as a matriarch of a wealthy Italian family, who owns a successful business. To make this film very authentic, it was shot in and around Milan and contains a highly stylish and exquisite appearance.<\/p>\n

It is a grand film with high-class set pieces and a great look. I do not hesitate to categorize it as an artistic, female version of The Godfather because it is that good.<\/p>\n

It focuses on the family as a whole but more so on Swinton’s character, who is bored and unhappy with her life and yearns for passion and feeling.<\/p>\n

One day she meets a friend of her sons and drama ensues.<\/p>\n

The boy is only half her age, but they share a passion that awakens her from her doldrums. The conflict in the film is how the affair looks to society and affects the family business- not to mention detrimental to her marriage.<\/p>\n

I Am Love (2009) is a great film that should be discovered by those looking for a gorgeous film with great drama.<\/p>\n
