Overview
Emma left Russia to live with her husband in Italy. Now a member of a powerful industrial family, she is the respected mother of three, but feels unfulfilled. One day, Antonio, a talented chef and her son's friend, makes her senses kindle.
One of my favorite movies of the last few years was Cold War. That movie felt like a kind of epic about a relationship that was never allowed to take off. It was big and eventful and beautifully told. In a sense I Am Love reminds of an epic but in a very different way. Lets just put it out there – I don’t know any other actress other than Tilda Swinton that could this off. I think Ebert said it best – she doesn’t emote emotions so much as she embodies them. So much is said without her saying anything. You feel as though you can see right down into her soul. This movie could have easily devolved into another movie about a housewife that has an awakening in her 40’s – the movie ends up being so much more than that because of its understated approach.
