I love this film! Modern, unique and very classical at the same time, it is truly pure cinema. Tilda Swinton is awesome and gorgeous and pops out of a completely new box, speaking fluent Italian and Russian.
On top of the complex and unusual story- tough and very emotional at the same time- it is a sensual feast: One just longs to keep drifting through the corridors of the family house full of servants, sun and stagnant secrets... Or to frolic in the eden-like glade with the naked lovers, watch the young chef create his amazing dishes, observe the ritual and drama of the traditional bourgeoisie being dismantled by globalization and finally be swept up in the climax which is so emotionally intense that it is almost lacerating ... carried along by the amazing score by John Adams and the distinct and inventive direction by Luca Guadagnino. Wow. See it. Twice.
