As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for both the silver screen and the written word, I find myself thoroughly intrigued by Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming projects. The man behind the poignant and exquisite “Call Me By Your Name” and the enigmatic “Challengers” is now diving into the world of filmmaking giants, Bertolucci and Mann.
Renowned filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Fighters) has shared insights about the next pair of projects he’s working on, with the upcoming romantic drama Queer – starring Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey – set for a theatrical release soon.
What did Luca Guadagnino say about the Buddenbrooks & Bernardo Bertolucci movies?
Guadagnino recently provided a fresh update about his ongoing work on the upcoming documentary dedicated to Bernardo Bertolucci, whom he referred to as a deeply personal project for him. Bertolucci, a renowned Italian filmmaker, gained fame through movies like “The Conformist” (1970) and “The Last Emperor” (1987). Notably, he was the first Italian director to win an Academy Award for Best Director. Regrettably, Bertolucci passed away on November 16, 2018, at the age of 77 following a battle with lung cancer.
As a gamer speaking, here’s my take on paraphrasing: “I’m currently working on it,” Guadagnino stated (through IndieWire). “There are a few more chats I’d like to have, particularly with Marty Scorsese. We’ve been filming for some time now, but it’s not about interviews; it’s more of a heart-to-heart. This movie is deeply personal to me, and I am the central character. The potential title could be ‘Bertolucci and Me,’ although that’s not set in stone.
Furthermore, Guadagnino has shared his intentions to rework Thomas Mann’s 1901 novel Buddenbrooks, one of the two influential books from his childhood. This captivating tale revolves around the life story of a North German mercantile family spanning over four generations.
Guadagnino mentioned that there are two books he’s particularly fond of from his childhood. One was ‘Buddenbrooks’ by Thomas Mann, which he read prior to ‘Queer.’ He believes these books complement or contrast each other significantly. While ‘Queer’ explores the profound pull of past longings and the desire to find oneself in another’s gaze, ‘Buddenbrooks’ delves into the decay of a Western society steeped in the harshest form of self-repression, both internal and external. To fully grasp the perversity of repression inflicted upon others, he suggests examining the self-repression that lies within those imposing it, not to excuse them, but rather to uncover the source of this ‘heart of darkness.’
