Desire takes on multiple permutations in Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Desire Trilogy.’ Guadagnino didn’t originally design the three films – I Am Love (Io sono l’amore, 2009), A Bigger Splash (2015), and Call Me by Your Name (2017) – as a trilogy, but after the release of Call Me by Your Name, he has referred to them this way and critics have followed. The films have obvious thematic and narrative parallels. Each asks what desire is, by exploring what desire makes people do. Each addresses desire’s transformative potential – its consequences for the individual and to the society that individual exists in within the world of the film. Guadagnino develops and refines an erotic language that conveys not only what desire looks like, but more importantly, what it feels like. “CALL ME BY YOUR NAME is one of my favorite films of recent years and of many others as well (check out YouTube reviews)” – Jon Busch.
