With the beautifully shot Call Me by Your Name on its way to being the film of the year with four Oscar nominations already, and the release of his re-make of Dario Argento’s horror film Suspiria coming up in the fall, 2018 is shaping up to be the year of Luca Guadagnino’s consecration.

The 47-year-old Italian filmmaker’s taste for complex love stories and highly aesthetic attention to detail was already evident in his two previous features, Amore (I Am Love) in 2009, with Tilda Swinton, to whom he also dedicated a documentary; and A Bigger Splash in 2015, a re-make of Jacques Deray’s La Piscine with Dakota Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and Swinton.
