Our faithful film industry correspondent CHORI laments the Academy's latest dubious omission...
That weird looking statuette mocked as Oscar is on its way from wherever it’s safely stored to the Kodak Theater or wherever the shenanigans will be hosted this year. One can agree or disagree regarding many Oscar selections; however one thing is above all irrefutable. The absence of “I Am Love” starring Tilda Swinton and directed by Luca Guadagnino at the Oscar get-together is a travesty.
The powers that be in Oscarland transfer the blame of this absence to Italy – the country that should have submitted “I am love”. I transfer the blame to nobody. All I know is that this fine piece of filmmaking absolutely had to be present on that fateful Sunday afternoon.
Seldom have I heard so many heterosexual males comment on the merit of a movie’s wardrobe. Breathtaking locations, Hitchcock inspired foot chases, oral sex in the bushes, debaucherous parties in a Milanese Villa, gorgeous Italian men and women, rampant adultery, mouthwatering food prepared by a 5-star Chef, Tilda Swinton speaking Italian with a Russian infused accent – this tale has it all. I certainly couldn’t ask for more.
What more must Luca and Tilda do? What more can they do? It took them all of ten years to wrangle the financing for this fine piece of work. Will Oscar give them their just do in another ten years time?
