According to the Call Me By Your Name director, his new film - an adaptation of Dario Argento's classic - reduced the Pulp Fiction filmmaker to tears.
“I showed it to Quentin Tarantino. We’ve been friends since our jury duty at the Venice Film Festival,” Guadagnino told Italian magazine La Pepubblica. “I was nervous but eager to hear his advice. We saw it at his place and his reaction warmed me."
Guadagnino added: “He was enthusiastic about it - in the end, he was crying and hugged me. Because it’s a horror movie but also a melodrama, my goal was to make you look at the horror without being able to take [your eyes off the screen] because you’re captivated by the characters. Amazon is very happy.”
The film - which stars Dakota Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz and Mia Goth - is four months away from release in the US (2 November) with a UK date yet to be announced. It follows Johnson's American ballet student who, after enrolling at a revered dance school run by the mysterious Madame Blanc (an unrecognisable Tilda Swinton), soon discovers dark secrets abound.
Fifty Shades star Johnson recently claimed the film's shoot was so intense she required therapy once cameras stopped rolling.
Tarantino is currently making Once Upon a Time in Hollywood which will feature an ensemble cast comprised of Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, Tim Roth, Burt Reynolds, Damian Lewis, Dakota Fanning and Kurt Russell.
