Luca Guadagnino’s next film, ‘Challengers,’ comes out in theaters this upcoming weekend. Before watching and reviewing the film, we discuss the director’s career leading up to his breakout film ‘Call Me By Your Name’. Luca Guadagnino's career has been marked by a willingness to explore different genres and themes, from romance to horror to sports drama. His films often focus on desire, vulnerability, and the complexities of human relationships. We explore his unique perspective on filmmaking from a world cinema perspective, his focus on emotion and relationships, and his collaborations with actors like Tilda Swinton and Dakota Johnson. We also touch on his earlier films 'I Am Love' and 'A Bigger Splash', as well as his remake of 'Suspiria' and most recently, ‘Bones and All’, before previewing his next film.
