Golden Globe Foreign-Language Nominee from Italy: I AM LOVE (IO SONO L'AMORE), 2009, 120 min. "When I moved to Milan, I stopped being Russian," says Emma (Tilda Swinton), an immigrant who’s lost one identity but never fully formed another after marrying into the wealthy Recchi family. Echoing Visconti, writer-director Luca Guadagnino paints a clear picture of modern day life in the Italian aristocracy and one woman’s internal struggle with displacement. A chance meeting with a young chef awakens Emma’s sensibilities, threatening to shake the foundation of her marriage with unexpected consequences. Featuring a hauntingly operatic score by John Adams. "An amazing film. It is deep, rich, human." –Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times In Italian and Russian with English subtitles. Introduction by director Luca Guadagnino
