“I am a film director, and I work with a visual language, with a visual medium. And I try to make virtue of the use of this visual medium. And I try to make sure what I do speaks the language of cinema.” –Luca Guadagnino. His latest film Challengers (final trailer here) is finally landing in theaters for everyone to enjoy this week. In celebration of this release, the UK movie magazine Little White Lies and video editor Luís Azevedo have created a supercut highlighting “The Colors Of Luca Guadagnino.” It’s a quick video at just 2-1/2 minutes featuring shots from almost all of his films, showing how he works his way through hot and cold colors depending on the mood. No matter what, his film always have vivid colors. Guadagnino’s exceptional filmography includes: The Protagonists (1999), Melissa P. (2005), I Am Love (2009), A Bigger Splash (2015), Call Me By Your Name (2017), Suspiria (2018), Bones and All (2022), and Challengers (2024) as well as Queer (2024) next. That deep red scene in Suspiria is totally unforgettable.
“To be a genius is to be unruled. To be unruled is to be alone.” This was commissioned by movie magazine Little White Lies – presenting “a supercut of the evocative colour schemes used by Call Me By Your Name and Challengers director Luca Guadagnino.” This latest supercut video was edited & created by Portuguese filmmaker / editor Luís Azevedo – made for the LWL YouTube channel.
