This fea\u00adture is the fourth in our sum\u00admer series, <\/strong><\/i>La Dolce Vita: A\u00a0Cel\u00ade\u00adbra\u00adtion of Ital\u00adian Screen Style<\/strong><\/i><\/a>, in part\u00adner\u00adship with Disaronno.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n F<\/span>or all of the lux\u00adu\u00adry it dis\u00adplays, the vital\u00adi\u00adty in <\/span>I\u00a0Am Love <\/span><\/i>comes from a\u00a0more egal\u00adi\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan source. Direc\u00adtor Luca Guadagni\u00adno sets up a\u00a0milieu where the ceil\u00adings are high and the cater\u00ading costs are high\u00ader, where soup is served from sil\u00adver tureens and the men are dressed by Fen\u00addi. Then, he spins the mean\u00ading of these aes\u00adthet\u00adic choic\u00ades as the force of desire prompts his lead\u00ading lady to take flight from it\u00a0all.<\/span><\/p>\n Hav\u00ading devel\u00adoped the film with Guadagni\u00adno for 11<\/span>\u00a0years, Til\u00adda Swin\u00adton gives her\u00adself over to a\u00a0sex\u00adu\u00adal awak\u00aden\u00ading that leaves her char\u00adac\u00adter, Emma, per\u00adma\u00adnent\u00adly unbut\u00adtoned from the cos\u00adtume of a\u00a0pre\u00advi\u00adous\u00adly well-worn life. Her erot\u00adic trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion takes place in a\u00a0rur\u00adal set\u00adting, amidst rolling hills, miles (lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly and spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly) from the lone\u00adly, opu\u00adlent rooms that she usu\u00adal\u00adly occu\u00adpies as a\u00a0Rec\u00adchio\u00a0woman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Emma is a\u00a0Russ\u00adian \u00e9mi\u00adgr\u00e9 who long ago sub\u00adli\u00admat\u00aded her ori\u00adgins (and name) by mar\u00adry\u00ading into an aris\u00adto\u00adcrat\u00adic Milanese fam\u00adi\u00adly. As a\u00a0wife and moth\u00ader of three, Emma glides through her social and house\u00adhold respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties. She is a\u00a0warm, self-pos\u00adsessed pres\u00adence say\u00ading lit\u00adtle dur\u00ading the din\u00adners that mark one occa\u00adsion after anoth\u00ader. Visu\u00adal\u00adly she looks the part (dressed in Jil Sander by cos\u00adtume design\u00ader\u00a0Antonel\u00adla Can\u00adnarozzi) as she silent\u00adly basks in her chief plea\u00adsure:\u00a0food.<\/span><\/p>\n Yorick Le Saux\u2019s gold\u00aden-hued cin\u00ade\u00admatog\u00adra\u00adphy cleaves to the sen\u00adsu\u00adal digres\u00adsions hap\u00adpen\u00ading in plain sight even if they go unno\u00adticed by a\u00a0fam\u00adi\u00adly pre\u00adoc\u00adcu\u00adpied by its mat\u00adters of the day. At a\u00a0lunch with her glam\u00adorous moth\u00ader-in-law, Alle\u00adgra (Marisa Beren\u00adson), the con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adtion turns to whether Emma\u2019s son Edo will mar\u00adry his girl\u00adfriend. Both Emma and the cam\u00adera are over\u00adcome by the inde\u00adcent pink\u00adness of a\u00a0plump prawn that has just been deliv\u00adered to the table. Le Saux\u2019s close-up on Emma as she eats is inti\u00adma\u00adcy incarnate.This dish has been cooked by Anto\u00adnio (Edoar\u00addo Gab\u00adbrielli\u00adni), a\u00a0friend of Edo\u2019s. The two young men plan to open a\u00a0restau\u00adrant togeth\u00ader in San Remo on the Ital\u00adian Riviera.<\/span><\/p>\n From the moment that Emma sees Anto\u00adnio \u2013 prep\u00adping tiny per\u00adfect morsels clad in chef\u2019s whites \u2013 some\u00adthing with\u00adin is shocked to life. Swin\u00adton per\u00adforms a\u00a0woman ground to a\u00a0halt by a\u00a0causal every\u00adday encounter. Sec\u00adonds lat\u00ader, Edo is there, miss\u00ading the sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcance, miss\u00ading the rup\u00adture, because his moth\u00ader is a\u00a0con\u00adtained per\u00adson whose inte\u00adri\u00ador rev\u00ade\u00adla\u00adtions do not scan in an envi\u00adron\u00adment built for big statements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Emma vis\u00adits San Remo, full of unformed hopes, and ends up shoplift\u00ading a\u00a0book called Ate\u00adlier Simul\u00adtane about anoth\u00ader Russ\u00adian \u00e9mi\u00adgr\u00e9 to France, the artist Sonia Delauney. This book, with its colour-splashed cov\u00ader, is a\u00a0tal\u00adis\u00adman for all that she is about to expe\u00adri\u00adence.\u00a0Cannarozzi\u2019s cos\u00adtumes veer into a\u00a0new palette, as oranges and reds clothe Emma\u2019s low\u00ader half. Undress\u00ading is estab\u00adlished as a\u00a0motif.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n First\u00adly, the cam\u00adera spies on Anto\u00adnio peel\u00ading off jeans in a\u00a0hid\u00adden cor\u00adner of a\u00a0gar\u00adden. Lat\u00ader, he dis\u00adrobes Emma, ten\u00adder\u00adly undo\u00ading and set\u00adting aside jew\u00adellery before mov\u00ading onto items of cloth\u00ading. She will nev\u00ader dress the same way again and when they make love out\u00adside wit\u00adnessed by flow\u00aders and insects, the only cos\u00adtum\u00ading is nature\u2019s finery.<\/span><\/p>\n To find out more about Disaronno\u2019s 500<\/span>-year anniver\u00adsary* cel\u00ade\u00adbra\u00adtions, vis\u00adit\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/i>dis\u200baron\u200bno\u200b.com<\/strong><\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n *<\/span>1525<\/span>: The leg\u00adend of Dis\u00adaron\u00adno begins.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nGet more Lit\u00adtle White\u00a0Lies<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
