this was good, fellas

visceral. guadagnino’s blend of the horror and romance genre, along with the framing of cannibalism as a metaphor for many subjective meanings makes this unapologetically gory film surprisingly tender. i honestly ire the ambiguity and openness for interpretation of this film, and personally, i do believe the characters’ insatiable hunger for human flesh represents intergenerational trauma or addiction. bones and all closes on a strong note, however, it takes an unnecessarily long route to that point, with a large portion of the film feeling overly drawn out.

this film begins as a horror but unravels into a deeper story about love and loss. beneath the surface, it’s a haunting exploration of how grief distorts reality. i really like this

“when you asked if i had known love. i could tell the answer was yes. and that it was now.”

this film speaks to me in ways i can’t quite describe. truly might be one of the most heartbreaking and emotionally suffocating love stories ever

the type of film that stays with you long after the credits roll. i’m actually floored
