Rate/Thoughts on Guadagnino's feature films of this decade?

I love him--I think he's the most interesting of the new European directors. When everyone else is going all death-of-humanity on us (von Trier, Haneke, Lanthimos, etc), this guy has brought vitality back in a big way. He's not interested in opposites but in the flow of things.

I Am Love is a bursting piece of work... tremendous stuff despite some narrative flaws here and there.

Call Me by Your Name is even better imo. The quintessential (non-decadent) Mediterranean movie. This guy understands beauty, memory, life/death, man as part of nature (not man as outsider as we're used to seeing), and lacks tragic or self-pitying tendencies. And he does it so masterfully it looks like he isn't even trying.

Can't wait for his future work.

I Am Love and A Bigger Splash are beautifully and uniquely directed pieces of film, each with standout “best of their years, underrated” performances that I don’t think last long in the memory bank, but are respectively good. 8/10 for both.

Call Me By Your Name is a deeply resonant and emotionally-awakening work of cinematic art that I’ve never been able to take my mind off of since my first viewing. 10/10.
