This is the kind of remake I want to see. What’s the point of slavishly rehashing a movie when we can still watch the original? It’s the same with cover songs - I want the cover artist to make the song their own. Isn’t the combination of an existing work of art & a new interpretation far more interesting?
The only thing I didn’t enjoy about this remake is the score. Honestly, I think Johnny Greenwood would’ve done a way better job than Thom Yorke. The score may have gone better with the dreary color palate, but it had absolutely no oomph, even after Guadagnino starts to saturate the screen with lurid colors. His collaboration with Sufjan worked very well in CMBYM. This time, not so much.
