An engaging, but standard look at a fashion and Hollywood icon, the documentary Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams is an unexpected pivot for Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino.
Luca Guadagnino
Artistically and thematically indulgent to the point of becoming top-heavy and ponderous, award winning filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s alternatingly loose and constricting reworking of Dario Argento’s horror thriller Suspiria is one of the most interesting, and least entertaining misfires of recent memory.
We sit down with director Luca Guadagnino and actors Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer to talk about one of the most anticipated films of the year, Call Me by Your Name, opening in Toronto and Vancouver this weekend.
One of the year’s most moving and powerful films, Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name is a nuanced, perceptive, intricately realized tale about the perils of young love, budding sexuality, and inter-generational relationships.
