And even though, these moments are filled with silence, we relish and live in every moment. What took me by surprise is how much silence fills the room in the first two episodes, each following our two leads. While he’s there, he meets Caitlin (or Harper) Poythress (Jordan Kristine Seamón). We Are Who We Are follows Fraser Wilson (Jack Dylan Glazer) as he moves to an American military base in Italy with his two mothers. I’ve seen four of the eight episodes, and I am absolutely head over heels for his latest project. On top of that, he also co-wrote and directed 8 episodes for HBO. Since Call Me By Your Name, Luca’s name has been everywhere including a Lord of The Flies adaptation, and also the Scarface film that the Coen Bros wrote. His next two films hit me like bricks – Call Me By Your Name and Suspiria (the remake is the superior version, and I will die on this hill).
I first heard of Luca Guadagnino with 2016’s A Bigger Splash, a film that has been on my radar but still sadly hasn’t seen (will fix soon).
