Tilda Swinton will star in Italo director Luca Guadagnino’s Io sono l’amore (“I Am Love”), a romantic drama in which she will play a foreign society matron in Milan who falls for a young chef.
Variety says Guadagnino, whose previous credits include Swinton starrer The Protagonists and Sony’s Melissa P., will start shooting the Italian-language film in Milan this summer.
“L’amore” is about “the irreparable consequences brought about by love in a high-bourgeois family,” Guadagnino said.
Attached alongside Swinton is Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher.
