BONES AND ALL 2022

Maren (Taylor Russell), a teenager who survives by eating human flesh, has spent her life roving from town to town with her father. As soon as she turns 18 (and bites a girl from school), her father abandons her, leading Maren to finally search for the mother who left when she was a small child. Along her journey, Maren encounters Lee (Timothée Chalamet), who shares her affliction, sparking the flame of first love and true kinship. Masterful performances by the young leads and supporting cast (Mark Rylance, Michael Stuhlbarg) are captured by Arseni Khachaturan’s stunning cinematography, set against the promise and terror of American landscapes. Director Luca Guadagnino crafts a textured balance between his gory Suspiria (2018) and his tender Call Me by Your Name (2017), resulting in a singular tale of love on the margins.
