Bones and All

Synopsis

Academy Award nominated director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name, Suspiria) reunites with Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet (Call Me by Your Name, Dune) for ‘sickeningly brillant’ and deeply romantic drama BONES AND ALL, a love story not for the faint of heart! The film also co-stars Taylor Russell (Waves) alongside Chalamet who delivers a mesmerising performance as the other half of the loved-up carnivorous duo.

A story of first love between Maren (Russell), a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee (Chalamet), an intense and disenfranchised drifter, as they meet and join together for a thousand-mile odyssey which takes them through the back roads, hidden passages and trap doors of Ronald Reagan's America. But despite their best efforts, all roads lead back to their terrifying pasts and to a final stand that will determine whether their love can survive their otherness.

BONES AND ALL marks a triumphant return from Guadagnino that excels as a tender romance despite its often difficult to stomach visceral gore and subject matter. Much of the credit for the film’s ability to grip the audience should also be given to the immense talent and frenetic chemistry between Chalamet and Russell who are magnetic as the central cannibalistic couple.
