Every Luca Guadagnino Film I’ve seen, ranked
4. Bones and All Too long and too narratively messy, but it makes up for it in very simple and well-crafted visual storytelling. The performances between Chalamet and Russell seem to be talking past each other. Dialogue was pretty atrocious, I can’t work out why. Costuming, Pacing, Copious amounts
