Luca Guadagnino's: 'Io Sono L'Amore' (I Am Love) starring ethereal beauty Tilda Swinton, is truly mesmerizing and provides a cornucopia of visual inspiration. The story revolves around the haute bourgeoisie Recchi family. The inaugural sequence draws us into the inner sanctum of their household, revealing tender snapshots of the family and staff dynamic as well as intimate preparations for a birthday banquet. Emma Recchi's ( Swinton) runs an impeccable residence: an austere yet magnificent warren of amber lit corridors, clad in Carrera marble. Neutral shades of cream, oyster and mink are accented with emeralds and medici blues. The walls are adorned with exquisite family portraits and art. Emma is the paradigm of an upstanding, refined yet vulnerable Milanese Matriarch, nuances of which are beautifully illustrated by the painterly use of palette and subdued lighting throughout the film.
