Hot trailer: Luca Guadagnino's I Am Love, starring Tilda Swinton and Flavio Parenti (with video)

Luca Guadagnino’s I Am Love has received near unanimous raves in Venice, Toronto and Sundance, so I have to admit my anticipation is high for this one. So high, that I thought disappointment was inevitable. Then I caught the UK trailer for this one and it knocked my socks off.  The visuals are stunning, the score (by Pulitzer Prize winning composer John Adams) is awe-inspiring, and Tilda Swinton (nearly 50) has never looked this beautiful. The film centers around a forbidden love affair between a wealthy married woman and a young cook that causes tensions to rise in her wealthy aristocratic family. The film is set for a limited release by Magnolia Pictures on June 18 (Tampa will probably get it later than that). See for yourself what all the fuss is about by clicking below …
