Io Sono L'Amore

I inteded to write about Io sono l'amore (I Am Love) for a while now but - of course - the post about it layed down in a temporary folder in my pc since now. Anyway, I just heard the movie was recently released in the Us too and I think it's a perfect timing: while the city is hot-hot-hot, there's nothing better than a movie which, beyond all the passions and scandals involved, is indeed cold as ice...

"I Am Love tells the story of the wealthy Recchi family, whose lives are undergoing sweeping changes. Eduardo Sr., the family patriarch, has decided to name a successor to the reigns of his massive industrial company, surprising everyone by splitting power between his son Tancredi, and grandson Edo. But Edo dreams of opening a restaurant with his friend Antonio, a handsome and talented chef. At the heart of the family is Tancredi's wife Emma (Tilda Swinton), a Russian immigrant who has adopted the culture of Milan. An adoring and attentive mother, her existence is shocked to the core when she falls quickly and deeply in love with Edo's friend and partner Antonio, and embarks on a passionate love affair that will change her family forever."

Directed by Luca Guadagnino, the movie features a marvellous Tilda Swinton whom ladylike outfits - all custom designed by Raf Simons of Jil Sander - will surely fascinate you...
