You never forget your first sleepover. Especially if you happen to have an insatiable appetite for human flesh.
Suspiria director Luca Guadagnino and writer David Kajganich reteam for a new genre film, Bones and All, an adaptation of Camille DeAngelis‘s novel. This time they take on an achingly tender and thoughtful coming-of-age romance between a pair of cannibals with an insatiable need to devour flesh.
Bones and All has been acquired for worldwide release by the Amazon-owned MGM, and the film will be released in select theaters on November 18 then everywhere on November 23, 2022.
Check out a new NSFW red band clip below that gives a closer look at the grisly flesh eating tendencies below. Poor Maren (Taylor Russell, Escape Room) can’t resist the alluring smell of human fingers.
The film “is a story of first love between Maren, a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee, an intense and disenfranchised drifter; a liberating road odyssey of two young people coming into their own, searching for identity and chasing beauty in a perilous world that cannot abide who they are.”
The cast for the movie adaptation also stars Timothée Chalamet, Mark Rylance, André Holland, Jessica Harper, Michael Stuhlbarg, David Gordon-Green, Jake Horowitz, Francesca Scorsese and Chloë Sevigny. Music is by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Expect this tender yet macabre love story to devour your heart. From my review of the film out of Fantastic Fest: “Bones and All makes for a sumptuous and sensual feast. There’s a matter-of-factness to the gore, and cannibalism will likely repulse mainstream or unsuspecting audiences. But beneath the viscera and grue is a tender and affecting tale of first love and discovery. It’s as elegant as carnal and carnivorous, and it’ll take a bite out of your heart if you let it.”
Guadagnino and Chalamet previously worked together on Call Me By Your Name.
