Director: Luca Guadagnino
Actors: Matthias Schoenaerts, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Dakota Johnson, Corrado Guzzanti, Aurore Clement and Lily McMenamy
Year: 2015
Genre: Drama, Music and Thriller
Conclusion: 3/5
The title of this film was inspired by David Hockney’s colourful 1967 painting of the same name. Fantastic cast list with top class performances from each of the actors. As good as their performances were the characters that they played were not nice people and I found myself not caring for any of them. Apparently, it was Tilda Swinton’s idea of a woman unable to speak. The themes it explores are the complexities of love and the impact of fame and personal struggles.
