BonesAndAll director Luca Guadagnino discusses the importance of trusting his stars, TimotheeChalamet and Taylor Russell.
Director Luca Guadagnino’s next film, Bones and All, is an adaptation of author Camille DeAngelis’ best-selling novel of the same name. The story chronicles an odyssey of sorts through Reagan’s conservative era of the late ’80s. As with the filmmaker’s previous novel adaptation, Call Me By Your Name, Bones and All explores themes of belonging and navigating one’s place in the world.
LUCA GUADAGNINO: All the scenes, I would say. It's not that I want to get lost in the sense that I don't know what I'm doing. [It’s] actually [the] opposite. I think it's about really getting to summon your point of view in the only place that it needs to be. You can only do that if you, first and foremost, see the scene happening, if you actually let the performance breathe.
She's already done wonderful things, but she's gonna go on to do more and more, so what is it about her as a lead in your film, but also as a collaborator and a partner that you're really excited for even more directors out there to get to experience with her moving forward? GUADAGNINO: No. To be honest, no. Not at all. Not that I think about it, no. I think we did a scene, which was driving in the night, and it was laborious technically and then the sun went up and we had to stop it, which was quite frustrating because they were doing a great job. Then we had to shoot it again like 10 days later. That must have been the most unnerving moment, but because of the time not because of anything else.
We've talked a little bit about Taylor, but you basically have a full ensemble of hugely talented individuals who I think make their roles uniquely their own. When you cast these actors in these parts, which role would you say changed the most from what you read on the page to what someone did when they brought it to life in front of the camera?
GUADAGNINO: I love gardening and I practice gardening. And gardening, it's about time, and you have to be incredibly patient, and you have to absolutely understand that you are nothing in front of nature, and if you do not welcome that and if you don't bend yourself, and bow to nature and to time, you will fail no matter how much money you can put into it in order to build your garden immediately. It’s not gonna happen.
