If you're itching for a summer blockbuster packed with explosions, car chases and superheroes, look elsewhere because I Am Love is far from that. In fact, it's far from anything that's graced the theaters in quite a while.
Writer-director Luca Guadagnino indulges the viewer with a grandiose family drama packed with rich scenery, stirring performances and comprehensive camerawork if only the rest wasn't so boring.
Meet the Recchis, a wealthy family living in Milan. They've got everything they could want--a lavish mansion, loyal wait staff, any material possession their heart desires--yet each struggles with a pain money cannot assuage. The family patriarch, Edoardo Recchi Sr. (Gabriele Ferzetti), is nearing the end of his life and decides to pass along the family textile business to his son, Tancredi (Pippo Delbono).
Tancredi's oldest son, Edoardo Jr. (Flavio Parenti), is awarded equal control but his younger brother, Gianluca (Mattia Zaccaro),
is left out of the deal entirely. Complicating matters further, Tancredi plans to sell the business, which upsets Edo Jr. who values the family tradition.
Meanwhile, the Recchi women are struggling with matters of their own. Tancredi's daughter, Elisabetta (Alba Rohrwacher), has a boyfriend, but upon moving to the UK for school, realizes her sexual preferences may lay elsewhere. Lastly, there's the children's mother and Tancredi's wife, Emma (Tilda Swinton),
who must not only keep a watchful eye on her family's troubles but her own as well, namely her affection for a friend of Edo's, a chef named Antonio (Edoardo Gabbriellini).
There's far more to I Am Love than a brief synopsis or the movie itself, at times, can handle. At the start, the situation is fairly overwhelming. The opening scene tosses the viewer into a lavish dinner with a regal and pompous family you've never met discussing the fate of their fortune. There's too much delivered at once
, leaving you exhausted and with little sense of where the film is going. But thankfully, that issue is quickly resolved by introducing the viewer to each family member individually.
Guadagnino carefully explores each Recchi's predicament, but the characters come across as separate entities rather than one family. Yes, every Recchi is living his or her own separate life--Tancredi constantly at work,
Emma obsessed with canoodling with Antonio, Betta at school and Edo with his new wife--and their issues are more personal, but they're so far removed from one another they seem to belong to different movies entirely. Other than their blood, there's little connecting them all.
