We talk with BonesAndAll's Luca Gudagnino and Taylor Russell about the cannibal romance film, including why that shocking and violent ending is actually incredibly romantic.
In Bones & All, two "eaters" fall in love as they feast on human flesh across the Midwest. Maren , abandoned by her father when she turns 18, is searching for links to her past in the hopes of finding out where her cannibalistic nature comes from. Heading across the country, she meets other cannibals, including Timothee Chalamet's cannibal drifter Lee.
Luca Guadagnino: I don't think so. I always make a movie as my first. When I make films, I always try to go there with a clean mindset. But at the same time, I really am always in trepidation of what I don't know about it that I have to find. And also, I never think of films from the perspective of the genre. I think about the films in the perspective of the characters and the spaces where I want to tell the story. So I follow that.
The script is so brilliant - it changes some things from the book [and] I'm a huge fan of the book. Luca, what drew you to the story of Bones and All when you read the script? What did you see in it? Russell: [Laughs]. The ending is incredibly romantic to me because it's a gift that he gives her, knowing the framework of these two people, this affliction that they have. It's the most loving act in a way. And it always felt like that when we talked about it, so I think it's very beautiful. Very heartfelt. In their world it's the most romantic version.
Maren's relationship with Lee is so intense and so intimate and romantic. How do you build that rapport and that bond with Timothee or any of your co-stars, really, when you guys are going to such dark places, as you do in Bones and All?
