Quotes from their interview with The Guardian:
About the relationship of love to loneliness."
The latter is, for her, "the last great taboo of modern western civilisation. Capitalism is built on the idea that one can go out and buy another scented candle and get less lonely somehow. But I think the deal is that you are fully lonely, and the sooner we accept and embrace our loneliness, the healthier we are. And that real love has nothing to do with that romantic idea of oneness, of distracting and healing each other from our loneliness, it's about witnessing each other as individuals and saying: I'll show you mine if you show me yours."
Tilda Swinton
About love and family
"I personally don't think that blood ties should be something that signifies so much more than anything else," he says. "I understand perfectly when somebody leaves their family for good. I do believe that if you stick to these blood ties you are going to stick to a big hypocrisy. I have always felt ashamed and embarrassed by the idea that there is something of such value in a family. It's awful, it's terrible."
There's always such a danger with families," says Swinton, "this myth that members of one family represent each other and carry some kind of collective identity. It's so endlessly problematic and wasteful." So why do people cling to it? Control, says Guadagnino. Inheritance, says Swinton. "Not just that of capital, but the whole idea of the energy matrix going through every family; the sort of theme tune. Finding any sense of individual identity is always rather challenging."
