Call Me By Your Name director
Luca Guadagnino is thinking of making a film inspired by the Bob
Dylan album Blood on the Tracks once his much-anticipated remake
of the Dario Argento classic Suspiria hits screens shortly, the
New Yorker said in a interview-profile of the Sicilian director.
The film will focus on the break-up of Dylan's marriage to
first wife and model Sara Lownds, immortalised in the 1966
Blonde on Blonde song Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands.
Guadagnino and screenwriter Richard LaGravanese believe that
two songs on the 1975 album Blood on the Tracks were inspired by
the break-up, and marked an artistic renaissance for the
singer-songwriter: Simple Twist of Fate and You're Gonna Make Me
so Lonely.
The director, who won four Oscars with last year's call Me By
Your Names and whose previous credits include The Protagonists
(1999), I Am Love (2010), and A Bigger Splash (2015), told the
New Yorker that the new film will be a "story set in the
Seventies, which pans out over a number of years and which I and
LaGravanese invented by picking out central themes of the
album".
Guadagnino reportedly insisted that LaGravanese, whose
writing credits include The Fisher King, Bridges of Madison
County, Behind the Candelabra and Beloved, be on board.
The New Yorker said the 188-page script is now ready.
