Release Date: 16th May (US) - 12th February (UK) Director: Luca Guadagnino Starring: Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Matthias Schoenaerts, Dakota Johnson The arthouse film that can. Guadagnino's (I Am Love) brilliant and biting study of modern love is a word-of-mouth magnet thanks to such towering performances from its quadrant cast. This played at the BFI London Film Festival and it is certain to provide a big hit from its small frame next year. Studying the ever-awkward and progressive dynamic between a famous rock star (Swinton), her filmmaker partner (Schoenaerts) and the unexpected arrival of her former lover (Fiennes) and his lustful daughter (Johnson) whilst holidaying in the gorgeous Sicilian Islands, A Bigger Splash will make you roar and squirm almost simultaneously. Aided by stunning cinematography, a delightful soundtrack and atmospheric gearshifts that stun with their precision, this is much more than your usual low-fi affair. It is a deeper, more provocative vision that hangs firmly in the memory. Prepare yourself for a karaoke-singing, penis-swinging Fiennes who delivers a side-splitting and layered screen-turn that rivals his BAFTA-nominated role in The Grand Budapest Hotel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akAvbD8uc8g
