*This article touches on the core of the story, so we recommend reading it after watching the movie.

“Bones and All” synopsis

Maren is an 18-year-old girl who was born with an uncontrollable urge to eat people. In order to solve the mystery, she goes on a journey to find her mother, whose face she does not know, and meets Lee, a young man who bears the same fate. For the first time, the two find someone who accepts them unconditionally, and they gradually find themselves in love with each other. However, their bond was too dangerous.

To be too pure is to be too fragile. Timothée Chalamet and Luca Guadagnino, whose names are widely known in Japan for `` Call Me by Your Name '' (2017), have taken on this theme again in ``Bones and All'' (22). Of course, while changing the technique greatly.

Maren (Taylor Russell), a girl with an inescapable urge to eat people, has lived her life moving from place to place with her father. But one morning when Maren wakes up, her father is gone. Maren's father, who had been struggling to live with his daughter who was a "cannibal", left behind a cassette tape with a Arrival written on it.

Based on the clues left behind by her father, Maren embarks on a journey to find her mother, who abandoned her when she was young. Along the way, she met a tribe of "man-eaters" who she thought existed only for herself. Like Maren, Lee (Timothée Chalamet) is a boy who is struggling with the secret that he cannot live without eating people. As they continue their journey, Maren and Lee gradually become attracted to each other.

The skills of Luca Guadagnino, a master of adaptation

Guadagnino, now an Italian master in both name and reality, is an extremely outstanding master of adaptation. `` Melissa P ~Blue Buds~ '' (2005), based on a novel in which a 17-year-old high school girl frankly records her sexual experiences, and `` A Bigger Splash in Trenches'', a remake of the French film `` The Sun Knows '' (1969). ' (15), ' Call Me by Your Name ', a film based on the novel of the same name by Andre Aciman, and ' Suspiria ' (18), a reimagining of Dario Argento's legendary horror film... It's no wonder that a remake project for `` Scarface '' (1983) is on the horizon.

``Bones and All'' is also a film adaptation of the novel of the same name published in 2015 by author Camille DeAngelis. `` Call Me by Your Name '' is a so-called ``young adult novel,'' but ``Bones and All'' is a young adult novel aimed more at young adults. Up until now, Guadagnino has worked on visualizing films with bold arrangements while accurately grasping the core of the original work, and this time is no exception. The script was written by David Kajganich, who collaborated with him on `` A Bigger Splash and Suspiria .''

Maren and Lee travel to America in the 1980s. For Maren, it's a journey to find her mother, and for Lee, it's a journey to shake off his past with his father. Both of them have problems with their relationships with their families, are hurt by the fact that they cannot survive without eating people, and they live their lives hurting others. Is there really a place for them in this world?
