I liked this film. Guadagnino's vision and poetics remain extremely fascinating, even in a story of cannibalism. A film that alternates between unspeakable acts and a young love, an alternation that becomes one. A story of inner conflicts, where accepting oneself means tearing lives away. Maren and Lee, two souls so human and inhuman at the same time, moved by a primordial instinct that is impossible to suppress. Instinct that generates a new form of feeling. A different form, in which two bodies become one.

The only aspect of this film that I didn't appreciate is the soundtrack, I would have hoped that the music would connect not only with the romantic aspect of the story, but also with the brutal cannibalism. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

This film is everything.

It's Ejzenstejn, it's Kubrick, it's Godard, it's Fellini, it's Wong Kar-wai, it's Kurosawa, it's Kobayashi, it's Lucas, it's Spielberg, it's the Wachowski sisters, it's Anno, it's Miyazaki, it's Kon, it's Bong Joon-ho, it's Wright, it's Nolan, it's Tarantino.

It's Daniel Kwan, it's Daniel Scheinert.

And it's also Marvel, but better.

It's really the film about the multiverse, the one of the weight of choices.

Through such an absurd and surreal story, life is told in its most realistic nuances.

Through the regret of not having lived a life that for a single, different deviation does not belong to us.

Believing that absolute nothingness, being stone, is the solution. A simple and appetizing solution, like the Bagel.

The absolute nothing to avoid the suffering of appearances, or the frustration of our present.

Making the mistake of not being grateful for the here and now, the present, which along with feelings are the only things that matter.

You just need to be kind in this life or in the other one.

It's the only way.

One of the most beautiful and important experiences of my life.

By an authorial nature, in its deepest meaning.

He never abandons the foundations on which this story was born, but dresses up in another way. It completes the journey of human feeling, reaching its end and its new beginning.

The simplicity of a desire that pushes towards the unattainable, originated from the infantile need not to feel alone. Warmth and tenderness.

I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to see it for the first time at the movie theater.

It has been a visual experience that I will remember for a long time, that's for sure.

Obviously not free from defects, the CGI could and should have been better during some crucial sequences.
