Who knew Tilda Swinton spoke Italian? And with a Russian accent no less?! In Luca Guadgagnino's I Am Love, Swinton gives an award-worthy performance as Emma, a Russian woman living a glamorous life as wife to a wealthy businessman in Milan. Their three children have all grown and Emma begins to realize that she wants something more. The film is a little slow and a bit melodramatic at times, but this goes almost unnoticed thanks to the gorgeous production values. Lush cinematography, striking costumes, beautiful Italian scenery and a loud, bold score by John Adams combine to make this one of the prettiest pictures of the year.
