The urge to equate young love with doom and mortality probably goes back way beyond Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet<\/em>. It’s such a natural narrative pairing: First loves rarely last, and youth definitely doesn’t. <\/p>\n For most people, that burning intensity of young love \u2014 the \u201cEverything is new and wonderful, and we’re the first people to ever experience sex\u201d feeling of infatuation and discovery \u2014 is likely to fade quickly. And for adults looking back on that era of their lives, the sense of loss and nostalgia can feel similar to the emotions around navigating death. But the metaphor has rarely been as startlingly vivid as it is in Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All<\/em>a gory shocker that comes with plenty of familiar horror-movie elements, but plays far more like a classic road romance.<\/p>\n It’s a strange movie, seemingly designed to confuse both fans of Guadagnino’s previous horror-inflected feature, 2018’s messy giallo remake Suspiria<\/em>and fans of his 2017 sun-baked gay romance Call Me by Your Name. <\/em>While Bones and All <\/em>bridges those two movies so neatly that it feels calculated, it also raises the question of how much audience crossover there might be between the two films. Horror hounds may be disappointed by how much of the film is low-key relationship drama and coming-of-age story, low on breathless tension-building and jump scares. Romantic-drama fans are certainly going to see more bloody eviscerations than they’re used to getting in their movies. But for genre-agnostic cinephiles, the sheer daring and uniqueness of the story \u2014 an adaptation of Camille DeAngelis’ 2015 YA novel of the same name \u2014 will be a major part of the draw.<\/p>\n
