I am love (Io sono l'amore) tells the story of the wealthy Recchi family, whose lives are undergoing sweeping changes. Eduardo Senior (Gabriele Ferzetti), the family patriarch, has decided to name a successor to the reigns of his massive industrial company, surprising everyone by splitting power between his son Tancredi (Pippo Delbono), and grandson Edo (Flavio Parenti). But Edo dreams of opening a restaurant with his friend Antonio (Edoardo Gabbriellini), a handsome and talented chef.
At the heart of the family is Tancredi's wife Emma (Tilda Swinton), a Russian immigrant who has adopted the culture of Milan. An adoring and attentive mother, her existence is shocked to the core when she falls quickly and deeply in love with Edo's friend and partner Antonio, and embarks on a passionate love affair that will change her family forever.

Theatrical report
I am love (Io sono l'amore) is not just an egotistical statement, it's a great encapsulation of this film: melodrama with an operatic score. It's as if Falcon Crest has come to the big screen, but with more Italians.
I did like the way they had sex in a field, in the long grass, under the summer sun, however. that's a very good thing and something that I recommend to everyone.
The drama, Italy movie I am love (Io sono l'amore) is directed by Luca Guadagnino and stars Tilda Swinton, Flavio Parenti, Edoardo Gabbriellini.
