I wish I had the words to express my admiration for Luca’s work. As a film director, producer, and screenwriter he has been praised for many a film. He has been involved in feature films, short films, and advertisements. In addition he is an interior designer which has helped with his on set visions. The most well known of his films is his most recent Call Me By Your Name which he and the cast gained critical acclaim and accolades. It is the third and final film in his Desire Trilogy or as he calls it “another movie about rich people lounging by the pool.”. Though all three films do have a similar scene, they are far more than that. They aren’t connected in story-lines per se but his approach to the films is their glue. The romantic dilemmas and overall stylistic choices link them, and the high highs and low lows found in the experiences of every character are the essence of desire. Luca Guadagnino has a number of other phenomenal and beautiful films that aid in my admiration of him, but this trilogy is the thought and care and time that went into its completion is utterly inspiring it it of itself.
