A rundown of pithy pending Letterboxd reviews I have for Challengers (2024) d. Luca Guadanino

This is the "I Don't Dance" sequence from High School Musical 2 on crack cocaine

Is this what Lorde was talking about when she said "let's go down to the tennis court so we can talk it out like yeah"?

On all levels except physical, those people were having SEX on that tennis court

In my sophomore year of college, the professor of my Dada and Surrealism class insisted that anything, (in this case, a truck,) could be interpreted as a phallus if you try hard enough. Using this perspective has made watching movies 1000000x times more enjoyable. Case and point: that churro scene.

Reading Luca’s interviews is always such an amazing experience, a few of my favorites from El Pais interview for San Sebastian Film Festival

Q: The tv series speaks about teenagers that grow up in a very stressful time (the time of world anxiety). That’s why they are so melancholic?

A: Well, the thing is I’m deeply melancholic. I’ve picked up 2016 as a starting point because it marks the end of an illusion. We thought that change caused by Barack Obama would stay forever and then, suddenly, we understand it’s not true. In reality, the progress is one step forward, and one step back, or to the right, or left. 

Q: A lot of your characters are LGBTIQ

A: For me, queer is not linked to sexuality, but to a radical difference of the individual. Being queer is not worrying about being included and not suffering from possible exclusion. So are my characters.

Q: Is it easier to be queer today than when you were young?

A: I'm not sure. Maybe it will be in Madrid or Barcelona, but go to La Mancha ... I always fight on this issue with many people. I believe that it is only capitalism, which tries to sell us that the individual can be everything and, consequently, buy everything. I believe that this radical difference is still difficult to accommodate.

Q: Your series is different in another thing: it has no qualms about showing nudity. Above all, the male.

A:It is not something I formalize in my head. If someone is naked in it is because they would be in reality. If I left the penis out of the scene it would be an act of falsehood and stupidity. That most directors still believe it a taboo? Of course. But I don't believe in the majority.

Q: After the success of Call me by your name, you did not go to Hollywood. You preferred to continue working from Europe, even for the studios or for HBO.

A: I'm too old to agree to work on projects where I don't have full control. They tried to hire me a couple of times, but the scripts were bad. I did not grow up with the desire to replicate the American model. If European cinema today is in a depressing state, it is because many directors began to imitate it in the eighties. Why don't Spanish filmmakers follow the example of Víctor Erice and prefer to imitate Hollywood standards, sometimes with great success?

Not sure if I did great with translating, but the whole interview is very interesting for sure!

How did you discover Call Me By Your Name?

The posts I’m seeing about the anniversary of the release of Call Me By Your Name in theaters have me thinking back to how l learned about the movie. I’d seen Armie Hammer in The Social Network and Timothee Chalamet in Interstellar, but couldn’t tell you their names or pick their faces out in a crowd. I hadn’t heard of Andre Aciman’s novel or of Luca Guadagnino’s films. I wasn’t on Tumblr. I didn’t know the meanings of “ship” or “stan.”

Shortly before the Oscars I read an article about CMBYN and how passionate some fans of the movie were. How they called the movie life-changing and said it led to much soul searching. The reviewer praised the lush scenery and sensuality of the film. I downloaded the book right away, watched the movie in the theater within a week, and the rest, as they say, is history.

How did you find CMBYN?
