I Am Love

I AM LOVE (2009) - Dec. 20, 2010
A meandering and fairly pretentious film that is saved by an amazing visual style.  Impeccably directed by Luca Guadagnino, this is without a doubt a beautiful film.  It's so well directed, but at the same time I was never particularly entertained beyond consistantly being dazzled by the visuals and the direction (including the really effective use of John Adams' music).  It's completely plotless, and Guadagnino always keeps the characters at somewhat of an arm's length, so it's really hard to get particularly involved in the film.  But it looks so good...  **1/2
