I Am Love with Tilda Swinton

I Am Love is Tilda Swinton’s (Emma Recchi) triumph. The film begins with a virtual collage of Frank Lloyd Wrightian architecture. The Recchi family is hosting a birthday banquet and the absolute celebrity of the family is the dashing Edoardo Recchi (Flavio Parenti), Edo for short. As an inside joke much like my family describes everything they loath as marzipan, the Recchi’s are fearful of Edo’s special dish and continue to hope he brings it with him! Before I delve more fathoms into the plot let me suggest that many directors have tried to commence a story with pictures and a panoramic of the set but director Luca Guadagnino accomplishes this without the slightest hint of distraction.

     The purpose of the banquet turns out to be the patriarch’s retirement. It is on his birthday he chooses to name a successor or two. Rather than allow his son who has proven steadfast and diligent to inherit the family factory that has been active for decades, the grandfather decides to relinquish the reigns to Edoardo and his mother Emma. This causes some obvious consternation among those overlooked. Meanwhile a plot point is both tied together and made more mysterious. Earlier in the day Edo had lost a sporting contest to a chef. The chef appeared that night to deliver a cake for the family and then he hastily vanished.

     A few months later the story resumes when Emma receives a package intended for Edo from his sister. Apparently she has indulged in lesbianism and is madly in love with a woman. This situation is further complicated by Emma’s refusal to show the letter to her son and by Edo’s intimate association with the chef Antonio (Edoardo Gabriellini) from the contest. They have become best friends. Antonio convinces Edo to invest in a restaurant that may well risk the family fortune. Being such close friends there is no doubt as to their bond of trust. Meanwhile Edo’s engagement to his girlfriend Eva (Diane Fleri) is impending. A chance encounter brings Emma and Antonio together as sexual partners. She is immediately love struck. During her aloofness and romantic episode Edo is having trouble managing the factory. His jealous family members are conspiring against him.

     Being a critic and not a plot summarist it is time to invest in my punditry. I Am Love takes too long to compel the audience into caring. Much of the sequences are long-winded and ambiguous. Having said that, once invested there is no way out. Tilda Swinton’s acting is unbelievably good. She takes us through a whirlwind of drama, love, fear and suspicion. With one walking stride or one ambivalent facial expression she launches a dozen scenarios in our minds as to what will happen next and what the film is really about. Until the latter portions it is hard to read what the story means. Overall I am Love is a wonderful drama with a brilliant plot and extraordinarily picturesque scenery. It is not an action lover's cup of tea but it is as good of a drama film as any if only the audience will be patient enough to give it a chance. Excellent film if only a little dragged on.
