What do you get when you combine cannibalism, romance, an on-the-road adventure, and two of the greatest young actors of the generation? “A metaphor for the trauma we carry, the curses we hold within ourselves, and the inability to move on from what we find to be our original sin,” says Timothée Chalamet, who stars as Lee in Luca Guadagnino’s all-new horror romance film Bones and All.
Metaphor and fable were the two most common words that the cast and crew used to describe Bones and All last night at its premiere at the 60th annual New York Film Festival, and it couldn’t be more true. The film follows eighteen-year-old Maren (played by the unparalleled Taylor Russell) who believes that she is the only person in the world harboring her deep (and frankly, poorly kept) secret, that there is a hunger inside of her that can only be sated by another human being. After being abandoned by her father, Maren sets out on a journey to find what she isn’t even quite sure she’s looking for, maybe hoping to find a place where she belongs. After a bone-chilling encounter with Mark Rylance’s Sully, the first person she’s ever met thats “like her,” Maren is left fearful and confused. But after a chance encounter with Lee inside of a grocery store, the two seek solace in each other and begin to see what it’s like to finally have someone understand you. Chalamet and Russell deliver an absolutely stunning performance depicting a coming of age narrative in such a unique format. Though the movie is undoubtedly gory, there’s such a calming sense of humanity to it during the moments of in between, and had you tuned into the film midway into one of those scenes, you might not even get the sense that it’s a horror film at all. The versatility is truly one of the many components that makes Guadagnino such an incredible director. We had the amazing opportunity to talk to this brilliant cast and crew, check out our full conversation below!
A truly brilliant question, with an even better answer; it simply doesn’t. Especially not through Stacey’s eyes. “So often do my interiors inspire my design, and my designs inspire my interiors,” she says. The inspiration of the idea of home has come from her decorating her own new home just last year. The collection explores all of the different possibilities that a home can unlock when it comes to self expression. The collection is “eccentric and maximalist,” a nod to British eclectic.
From there, guests are treated to an iridescent room by Kim Shui, shown an immersive, 3 wall presentation on the dangers of micro plastics and the importance of sustainability, and a gorgeous warm yellow room featuring Camila Coelho’s latest collection. At this point, you can stop for a drink, at an Onda bar right in the middle of the exhibit. Next up on the adventure is the Lovers and Friendsroom, whose timeless designs are only fit to be in a room that belongs in a storybook. The mystical pink room is complete with vines on the walls and a beautiful mirror to document the experience.
It was time for another drink break, and luckily Celsius had us covered. The seltzer’s were on display in a gorgeous Gym Style setup, with a fridge containing some limited edition flavors. We sipped on our seltzers while we walked into the next room; Eaves and L’academie’s collections on display in a room resembling an airplane, pretty much to a T. Guests who visited the next room would be greeted by the familiar site of Kendal Jenner’s Iconic 818 Tequila Brand, who had their own lounge in right after Eaves and L’academie. The beautiful room was not all, as guests were treated to special edition 818 drinks and cute stickers as they enjoyed the many sites in the exhibit.
