Guadagnino’s Masterclass at the Rome Film Festival: Aliens, Zombies, and a Fly

John Carpenter's Starman, David Cronenberg's The Fly, George Romero's  Dawn of the Dead, and Roberto Rossellini’s Voyage to Italy have something in common according to Italian director Luca Guadagnino: they are among his favorite films ever. An odd aesthetic choice for the acclaimed author of the 2017 delicate gay romance and intimate portrait Call Me by Your Name, nominated for three Golden Globes, including Best Picture Drama, and one Oscar nominee for Best Picture, and the film that launched the career of Timothée Chalamet among its many values.
