First love and first flesh in closing Luca Guadagnino's film

Closing film, an American romantic horror film directed by Luca Guadagnino (Bones and All, 2022) blends auteur film with genre film and interprets first love in metaphors of difference, told Grazina Arlickaite, the founder and the artistic director of European Film Forum Scanorama.

Winning best directing Silver Lion in Venice, Luca Guadagnino is well known to cinephiles. Many remember Call me By Your Name (2017) winning Oscard for best script adaptation (based on coming-of-age André Aciman's novel). Also, I am Love (2009) with Tilda Swinton, Suspiria (2018, screened at Scanorama) giving woes to legendary Dario Argento's „Suspiria“ (1977) and some unforgettable others.

The closing ceremony takes place on November 19th at Forum Cinemas Vingis.
