UPDATE: Luca Guadagnino has started screening “Bones & All” for people in his inner circle. Last night, a person who claimed to have attended a private screening emailed me a reaction, which I then posted. After speaking to Luca’s people, I’ve decided to take the reaction down. There is just no way to verify what was sent to me and, out of respect for the people behind the film, it’s best to close this one down.
Ever since we confirmed that Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones & All” was going to Venice, there hasn’t been much news about the cannibal romance starring Timothee Chalamet and Taylor Russell. Any news or updates about the film will be of intriguing value to us, which is why we were quick on the trigger with this one.
If you remember, Guadagnino’s last film was the polarizing “Suspiria.” It was a major change of tone for the Italian filmmaker who made a career out of summery, romantic and Italian-set films — “Suspiria” was a straight-up surrealist horror film. “Bones and All” seems to be a continuity of Guadagnino trying to distance himself from his earlier films.
