Drawing comparisons to the work of both Luchino Visconti and Douglas Sirk, I Am Love is a stunning Italian melodrama that's received plaudits for both its ravishing visual storytelling and its remarkable lead performance from Tilda Swinton. When she was young, Emma (Swinton), a Russian émigré, married into a rich, conservative Italian family. Now her husband and son are finally inheriting the family business, but Emma's growing boredom and her son's disinterest both threaten to ruin the family tradition. A riveting new take on the obligation-versus-passion conflict, I Am Love is one of the most critically-acclaimed films of the year. "Director Luca Guadagnino is very much an artist with his own unique vision, and in Swinton he has found the period muse any visionary would covet." (Rex Reed, The New York Observer)
