Hasta los huesos

Luca Guadagnino llena un hueco en la cinematografía. Un análisis íntimo de la vida outsider de las personas dependientes de la carne humana y que retrata la existencia de individuos desesperados al margen de la sociedad, como una paráfrasis del tema de la fantasía vampírica. La necesidad de ocultar la propia personalidad, la búsqueda de la historia familiar para comprenderse a sí mismo y su lugar en el mundo. Al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, es un romance delicado sobre la importancia de encontrar un alma gemela. La película contiene escenas más aterradoras y sangrientas de lo que cabría esperar de la esperada distribución mundial con exposición artística y Timothée Chalamet. Para el público mayoritario, será repulsiva hasta el punto de ser imposible de ver, a pesar de tener la trama de una película de carretera clásica con un elemento de relación y un clímax cliché típico del género. Le doy una débil cuarta estrella por el valor para contar la historia de los mayores tabúes sociales de forma artística y por el brillante reparto de Mark Rylance. Emocionalmente, sin embargo, la película me dejó completamente indiferente, incapaz de empatizar de ninguna manera con los personajes. (22.12.2022)

Luca Guadagnino has made a cannibalistic road trip romance through the American backwoods and it has its charms. It's clear that the director is a drama buff, but he probably also enjoys horror and likes to combine the two genres, though drama always takes precedence. His Suspiria, however, had its charm (I remember the dance scene vividly!) and I'm very curious how he'll handle the Scarface remake, because I have no idea how he'll handle the action scenes. We have two likeable young actors, the nifty Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet, who has already shown his acting skills a few times and only confirms them here. I enjoy road trips in films as they don't stand still, new places and people are explored and despite the slower pace they manage to keep my attention. Bones and All also benefits from the world of cannibals and it has to be said that this insight is really interesting and creepy enough. The two leads travel through America, have a taste for human flesh and can also sense their equals. Each encounter with a new cannibal is one of the highlights of the film. Mark Rylance is once again perfect, his dialogue is uncomfortable and gives you chills. But I must also praise the huge weirdo with the Bones and All story, the guy oozed evil and I wouldn't be surprised if he was a cannibal in real life, a really nasty unpleasant guy. There was a bit of gore as well, which was nice, though another director might have pushed the envelope further. The filmmaking is good, the atmosphere is bleak, and you could say it's one of the top in the cannibal-themed romantic horror genre (though the competition here isn't huge). Bones and All is the imaginary pinnacle of cannibal cinema and I would love to see it in action. 7/10 (15.12.2022)

I think most vegans who accidentally wander into the cinema to see this unconventional romantic road-trip will pass out and have nightmares for the rest of their lives. Marel (Taylor Russell) can't contain herself on a girls' sleepover and chews on her friend's finger. Her dad has had enough, so after a quick move he gives her money, an explanatory audio tape and disappears. The "innocent" girl goes in search of her lost mother and meets other eaters of human flesh. The almost meditative, relaxed atmosphere, underlined by Trent Reznor's haunting piano, is interspersed from time to time with gore with an unnerving soundtrack. The performances are top-notch, with Mark Rylance as the lonesome Sully leading the pack, but unfortunately, there is punishingly little. Chalamet does his quality standard, but he's no match for the old man. A surprising one-off with several very intensive scenes and a bit of an awkward ending. The question is whether it is the fault of the book or the filmmakers. (13.06.2023)

La primera película de Guadagnino que me gustó mucho. Una película de carretera lenta, reflexiva y sincera con personajes caníbales que pueden confundirse con vampiros o incluso humanos normales, simplemente funciona como debería. Sumérgete y pasa dos horas agradables. ¡Las alusiones a Kiss y la música de Trent Reznor y Atticus Ross son geniales! (30.12.2022)
