For his new Timothée Chalamet-fronted film, Luca Guadagnino enlisted the help of artist Elizabeth Peyton to bring his ravishing vision to life.
on Friday, the film follows a pair of young lovers living on the margins of society as they traverse 1980s America,-style, with a twist: Both characters are cannibals, trying to understand why they have the desire to eat the people they love.
During filming, Guadagnino kept returning to the thought of having Peyton create an artwork inspired by this unlikely tale of lovers on the run. “The more we were making it, the more the movie transformed from a horror movie into a very intense love story, and so I started to fantasize about the most beautiful possibility to introduce it to the world,” Guadagnino explains.
After sending Peyton an early cut of the movie, the pair arranged to meet in New York, where they instantly connected over a series of sketches Peyton had prepared ahead of time, including one of the film’s leads kissing that became the final poster. “I felt like I couldn’t face him unless I had begun something,” says Peyton, laughing.
For Peyton, it was the film’s central theme of love conquering all that she felt dovetailed most neatly with her own work. “The film is about how love is really, really hard but it’s worth it,” says Peyton. “I think that is something that I’m often trying to transmit with my work: how essential love is. And I think this film really captures so many stories of people trying to figure out how to do it. It made me feel hopeful.
