Bones and All
Romantic road movie from Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name) about two young cannibals travelling across America in search of their tribe. With Timothée Chalamet.
BONES AND ALL does not shy away from some cannibal horror, but it is first and foremost a road movie about two loners growing up in a world that is perilous and hostile towards them, a theme familiar from film classics like BONNIE AND CLYDE, BADLANDS, and THELMA & LOUISE. Based on Camille DeAngelis’ novel of the same name, the film is set in the United States in the 1980s. Maren is a young woman trying to survive on the fringes of society. She is joined by Lee, a rather intense homeless boy. Together they undertake a thousand-mile odyssey which takes them through the back roads, hidden passages, and trap doors of Ronald Reagan’s America.
For BONES AND ALL, Luca Guadagnino (A BIGGER SPLASH, SUSPIRIA, IO SONO L’AMORE) teamed up again with Timothée Chalamet, who earned his first Oscar nomination for his lead role in Guadagnino’s CALL ME BY NAME. BONES AND ALL premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where the film won both the Silver Lion for best director and the Premio Marcello Mastroianni for Taylor Russell as best young actress.
