I’m not sure what director Luca Guadagnino is going for stylistically with this film. The sets are decorated almost entirely in block colors — dull reds and olive greens, for example — and have that vaguely unrealistic, clean Technicolor look that made you think it was an homage to the films of the era in which the film is set.
