How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Luca Guadagnino's 2009 Milan-set film anchored by Tilda Swinton (who learned Italian for the role). The structural commitment to letting wealthy-Italian-family cultural-cognitive material be the actual subject, and the canonical John Adams orchestral score, is the canonical pre-Call-Me-By-Your-Name Guadagnino work.
