Formative Friendships in Armageddon Time
The 1980 backdrop of James Gray’s semi-autobiographical drama feels familiar: A celebrity turned politician challenges the establishment, racial tensions simmer and socioeconomic disparities loom large. And one comforting time-honored aspect endures: Queens sixth-graders Paul Graff (Banks Repeta) and Johnny Davis (Jaylin Webb) dress alike. “Because they’re best friends,” says costume designer Madeline Weeks, who kept the cast in late-’70s wardrobe, conveying the era’s pre-fast-fashion consumer mindset.
Paul, from a middle-class, two-parent Jewish family, and Johnny, a Black boy confronting the daily trauma of racism at school (and in the world at large), bond over their creative aspirations. Paul fantasizes of being a “famous artist,” while Johnny yearns to join NASA and see a Sugarhill Gang concert. “Johnny and Paul love style,” says Weeks. Like the period’s New York City youth, Paul, in burnt orange and green,...

It’s hard to imagine any filmmaker other than Luca Guadagnino directing an adaptation of Camille DeAngelis’s “Bones and All,” but that was almost the case when screenwriter and producer David Kajganich first wrote the script.
“I was thinking of Luca when I was first reading the book, and it was impossible for him to engage at the time because of what else was on his schedule,” Kajganich tells Gold Derby during an exclusive video interview with Guadagnino and composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. “But it seemed like a really nice marriage between a lot of things that I know that Luca is interested in: the building of one’s identity, the managing and negotiating of one’s desires, all of the things that we’ve been in conversation about before. They were there in this book but in this very strange amalgam of tones. And so I...

A first look photo from Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones and All” has debuted (see the image below) as production continues this month in the Ohio tristate area. The project has a ton of buzz behind it for reuniting Guadagnino with his “Call Me By Your Name” Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet. The script is by David Kajganich, who penned Guadagnino’s “A Bigger Splash” and “Suspiria.” Guadagnino’s supporting cast includes his “Suspiria” star Jessica Harper and his “We Are Who We Are” actresses Chloë Sevigny and Francesca Scorsese, plus “Waves” breakout Taylor Russell, Oscar winner Mark Rylance, André Holland, and filmmaker David Gordon Green.
The official synopsis for “Bones and All” reads: “The film is a story of first love between Maren (Russell), a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee (Chalamet), an intense and disenfranchised drifter, as they meet and join together for...

Exclusive: On lunch break Thursday in the first day of shooting of his first U.S.-set film Bones And All, director Luca Guadagnino talked about seizing the chance to reunite with Call Me By Your Name cohorts Timothée Chalamet and Michael Stuhlbarg, latter of whom he added to cast along with André Holland, Jessica Harper, Chloe Sevigny, Francesca Scorsese (the Guadagnino-created HBO series We Are Who We Are), and David Gordon Green — yes, the Halloween director. They join previously announced Chalamet, Taylor Russell and Mark Rylance.
To devotees of Best Picture Oscar nominee Call Me By Your Name who were hopeful for a sequel, Guadagnino made it sound doubtful. The whole thing has gotten complicated. Chalamet will be busy making blockbusters like Dune sequels and playing the young Willy Wonka, and co-star Armie Hammer has been dropped from numerous projects over troubling off-camera allegations. But the fact is that...

A special miniseries for Halloween by Cláudio Alves
Costume sketches by Giulia Piersanti
As cinephiles, we're often too quick to condemn the idea of the remake. But remakes can often be illuminating. A good remake is a conversation made of echoes refracted through cinema and cultural history and time, as valuable, in its own way, as the original picture.
Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria is perhaps the supreme example of this. Instead of replicating Dario Argento's 1977 post-Giallo masterpiece, Guadagnino and his team have created an entirely new work that further explores themes only glanced at in the first movie. Even its look is excitingly different, autumnal and chilly where the previous film was carnivalesque and hot-blooded. One could write about the perfection of Sayombhu Mukdeeprom's cinematography or Inbal Weinberg's scenography, but, today, you're invited to reflect on the work of costume designer Giulia Piersanti…...

With Suspiria, it seems writer-director Luca Guadagnino is hoping to conjure up a “relentless experience” filled with “uncompromising darkness.” Yikes.
Over on The Hollywood Reporter, Guadagnino spoke at length about his approach to the 1977 film classic, and why his upcoming remake is much more muted in its design. So whereas we’re used to seeing splashes of blood and jump scares be woven into the fabric of any modern horror movie, Suspiria is more subtle in its nature, while the filmmaker also took the time to debunk that bizarre rumor claiming that Tilda Swinton was actually playing two characters.
But first, Luca Guadagnino reiterated his desire to leave viewers rooted to the edge of their seats.
I hope that the movie comes across as a relentless experience that’s going to go deep into your skin all the way down into your spine. I want the movie to perform as...

Luca Guadagnino's Call Me By Your Name (Chiamami Con Il Tuo Nome), screenplay by James Ivory, based on the novel by André Aciman, shot by cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom (Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives and Guadagnino's upcoming Suspiria), stars Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet with Michael Stuhlbarg, Esther Garrel, and Amira Casar. At the press conference, moderated by New York Film Festival selection committee member Dennis Lim, the director, when I asked him about the work of costume designer Giulia Piersanti, gave a very detailed response.

Every week, the CriticWire Survey asks a select handful of film and TV critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday morning. (The answer to the second, “What is the best film in theaters right now?” can be found at the end of this post.)
This week’s question: What was the best film of summer 2016?
Charles Bramesco (@intothecrevasse), Rolling Stone
Gosh, where to start! It’s been a banner summer if, like me, you enjoy submerging yourself in vast unending ocean of incomprehensible bullshit at the movies. There was “Suicide Squad,” which is to plot structure what the Elephant Man is to facial bone structure. Loved me some “X-Men: Apocalypse,” an epic battle between an uncomfortable-looking ensemble of interesting-to-talented actors and a script intent on turning them all into cardboard cutouts. “The Shallows” was fun in the way that completing the maze on the back of a cereal box is fun,...
