When Luca Met John


I had completely forgotten (read: blacked it right the hell out) that John Waters was going to be interviewing Luca Guadagnino at the Provincetown Film Festival this past weekend -- if I couldn't be there I didn't want to think about it! The weird thing is the internet doesn't seem to've noticed either, and so I haven't been able to find any proper photos of the directors together! Well I do have the one above, which comes at us via MovieMaker Magazine, where they also have some choices quotes (getting to those in a second), and I managed to find one -- one! -- on Instagram, which I'll share down below. Otherwise do people just not have telephones in Provincetown? I know the average age of the gays in P-town is older than the Fire Island types but come on, y'all! You had one job! Anyway I recommend clicking over to MovIeMaker, it sounds like Luca & John had a fun chat via the quotes they share -- they talked sex scenes (Luca said he'd be fine getting naked if it'd make his actors more comfortable) and Call Me By Your Name and social-media brouhahas. I love that Luca's like, just fucking ignore social media, haha. Sage advice that I will unfortunately never ever adhere to. Speaking of...

I'm editing the entire conversation for the local tv station PTV!
It was a great conversation and we will post it on the website soon.
