Luca Guadagnino is having a look at any other hit thank you to his mostly well-reviewed film Bones And All. Much Like Call Me By Your Name, the horror coming-of-age film stars Timothee Chalamet. But this time he's reverse Waves and Lost In Space star, Taylor Russell.
Given the subject matter of Bones and All, it is not going that the acclaimed Italian director has a lot in commonplace along with his protagonist. But this wasn't the case with Call Me By Your Name, which almost earned a sequel with both stars returning prior to Armie Hammer's very public scandals.
There's unquestionably that the canceled sequel would've persevered the heartbreaking story of Elio and Oliver, which was once in keeping with "Call Me By Your Name" and "Find Me" by creator André Aciman. Elements of this emotionally wealthy tale have been very, very equivalent to Luca.
In an interview with Vulture, Luca explained just how similar his revel in as a teenager was to that of Timothee Chalamet's Elio.
Luca Guadagnino Pushed The Boundaries When He Was Young
Much of Elio's existence at 17 was one thing Luca Guadagnino could relate to. Not only were they both living in Italy, but they had been each closeted gay men. On top of this, they each were not frightened of talking their minds. They just did it in numerous techniques.
"I was a very lonely, skinny, melancholic visionaire [at 17]," Luca informed Vulture, all over an interview lengthy before Armie Hammer's scandals have been exposed and the sequel was once canceled. "I was in Palermo [Italy], and I was really invested in pushing the envelope. I remember at that age, I convinced the principal of my school to be the director of the play at the end of the year. I did Ionesco, and it was crazy. It was insane!"
"The title of the piece was Excessive in Extremis. And it fortified me because it was a catastrophe of sorts. There was not much of an audience, and to make something so personal, motivated by the impulse of doing something strong no matter what, and then to get the reception we got."
Luca went on to explain that the the main used to be absolutely furious when she saw the play he had created.
"Oh, the fury of the principal when she saw the thing! You know, when I went to [the Venice Film Festival] years later with The Protagonists and there was booing in the movie theater, I thought, I don’t care. I already got my boos at 17. I trained myself for that, I would say."
Luca Guadagnino And Timothee Chalamet's Elio In Call Me By Your Name Both Got Their Hearts Broken
While each Elio and Luca have been "lonely" at the age of 17, the director had a very different power about him.
"I was not like Elio. Elio jumps on the dance floor and is divine, but I wasn’t that kid. I was sitting in the corner, looking at people dancing. It was shyness, it was maybe embarrassment, but also I think it was the great position of control."
As said by the journalist at Vulture, Luca was "shy" in his personal lifestyles, but "bold" in his artwork.
He wasn't so daring with women, then again. And this used to be some other house where he and Elio differed. In the film, Elio does experiment with ladies sooner than in the long run popping out of the closet.
"I’ve never been with girls, honestly. I regret that," Luca explained. While he also knew he was attracted to males, he did not pass after any until he was 22. He claims it is because he was once "too cerebral" and spent little time excited about love and s*x.
However, he was once struck by emotions for somebody who could not love him back, similar to Elio.
"I made a difficult and stupid choice at that age of falling in love with my best friend, who was straight. Later, I met this guy when I was 22, and the second we had intercourse, I didn’t want to be with him anymore, and I left."
"I don’t know [why I left]. I felt depressed. I like sharing things, I like a community, I like to be with my friends and get to know new people, but when you’re 22 in Palermo and you get this young man and you feel the emotion for the first time of this physical encounter, it excludes everything," Luca explained.
"You’re not so sure if you can go to your friends and say, 'That’s the boy I’m dating.' People could not say that easily in 1988 in Palermo. I had to leave this encounter with him and only him. I had to learn in time to bridge my personal feelings and emotional encounters with my life as part of a community."
