‘We Are Who We Are’ Trailer: Luca Guadagnino is Delivering Another Stirring Coming-of-Age Drama, This Time for TV

We Are Who We Are Trailer

Back in 2017, director Luca Guadagnino delivered the gorgeous coming-of-age romance Call Me By Your Name starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer. Now the filmmaker is at it again, this time with Jack Dylan Grazer and Jordan Kristine Seamón starring in We Are Who We Are, a new HBO series following two American kids living on a military base in Italy. Each of these kids is going through the trials and tribulations of teenage life, which includes first-love, struggles with their own identity, and more. Based on the new We Are Who We Are trailer, this looks like it will let Guadagnino spread his wings into teenage angst even more than before.

We Are Who We Are Trailer

Here’s how HBO breaks down each of the main characters in Luca Guadagnino foray into television, an official selection of the 2020 Cannes Film Festival Directors’ Fortnight:

Jack Dylan Grazer stars as shy and introverted fourteen-year-old Fraser, who moves from New York to a military base in Veneto with his mothers, Sarah (Chloë Sevigny) and Maggie (Alice Braga), who are both in the U.S. Army. Tom Mercier (Jonathan) plays Sarah’s assistant.

Jordan Kristine Seamón stars as the seemingly bold and confident Caitlin, who has lived with her family on the base for several years and speaks Italian. Compared to her older brother Danny (Spence Moore II), Caitlin has the closer relationship with their father, Richard (Kid Cudi), and does not communicate well with her mother Jenny (Faith Alabi).

It appears that Caitlin is on the verge of coming to terms with her desire to not just be a soldier, but a male soldier. Meanwhile, Fraser seems to feel like an outcast who doesn’t really belong anywhere, but he takes solace in his friendship with Caitlin, which may also evolve into love. This feels like what HBO’s Euphoria would be like in the hands of Luca Guadagnino.

Outside of these two, there appears to be a lot going on with the supporting characters, which include Caitlin’s friend Britney (Francesca Scorsese,the daughter of Martin Scorsese), an outspoken, witty, sexually uninhibited girl; the cheerful and good-natured twentysomething soldier Craig (Corey Knight), his younger brother Sam (Ben Taylor), who just so happens to be Caitlin’s possessive boyfriend; Enrico (Sebastiano Pigazzi), a playful eighteen-year-old from Veneto who has a thing for Britney, and an Italian girl named Valentina (Beatrice Barichella).

Luca Guadagnino directs and produces We Are Who We Are, which he also wrote with Paolo Giordano and Francesca Manieri. Lorenzo Mieli is also executive producing for The Apartment and Mario Gianani for Wildside along with Small Forward, Elena Recchia, Nick Hall, Sean Conway, and Francesco Melzi d’Eril.

We Are Who We Are begins on HBO starting on September 14, 2020 at 10:00 P.M. EDT. Watch the first trailer here.

These pants are made with the world’s strongest material woven into its fabric – Graphene

There’s a high chance that the Omega pants will outlive the human race. Now I’m not being a pessimist, I’m just stating that these all-purpose pants come with the toughest ever material known to man woven into its fabric. With a lifetime warranty that should last long enough for it to be passed down multiple generations, the Omega pants were built to literally be worn forever, or quite possibly until the end-times… a little too stark? Maybe, but it drives the point home! Designed for practically any activity that requires pants, the Omega pants by Graphene-X come with a 3-layer fabric that isn’t just destruction-proof, it’s stretchable, waterproof, and has the ability to regulate your body’s temperature so you could potentially wear the same pair of pants while rock-climbing in the sun or on a skiing trip to a snow-capped peak. The pants’ fabric as well as its construction together help it juggle its different roles. Styled like a pair of all-purpose pants with removable leg-pieces, ...

A lounge chair you can ‘lean on’

Remember the Ovini Balance Stool from last year? The Sway Chair is the Ovini’s bigger brother with a backrest! Designed to be a lounging chair that has the flexibility of perhaps the beanbag, KI’s Sway Chair comes with a hemispherical base that rests on a freely rotating and swiveling base that has 4 legs. The contact points between the seating area and the base have ball bearings concealed within them that allow you to lean forwards, backwards, or even sideways in the chair, choosing a position that’s comfortable for you. With a simple physical action, you can change the chair from a work-chair to a lounger to lean back and relax in. There’s a certain bit of resistance/friction too, which means the chair retains the position you set it in, rather than swinging willy-nilly. Oh, and this one, unlike the Ovini, also comes with a rather nifty backrest as well as an adjustable foot-stool! Designer: KI Yanko Design https://ift.tt/2y1jNWK September 28, 2018 at 09:02PM

Contemporary Chinese Cinema: Shunji Iwai’s Letters from Shanghai

Contemporary Chinese Cinema  is a column devoted to exploring contemporary Chinese-language cinema primarily as it is revealed to us at North American multiplexes. The sneakiest major release of the year is surely the latest from Japanese director Shunji Iwai, whose new movie opens this Friday at a dozen multiplexes around North America courtesy of the distributor China Lion Film. Last Letter is Iwai’s first film made in China, and stars Zhou Xun, who starred in one of last year’s best films, Ann Hui’s Our Time Will Come , which was also distributed here by China Lion. That he would be working in a new country is no surprise: Iwai is one of the more eclectic filmmakers of his generation: having started in TV and video in the early 90s before moving into film, he’s since made documentaries and music videos, science fiction films and anime, epics of modern alienation and ravishingly romantic odes to the wonders of youth and love. His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...
