Because I truly love the actors I work with, so I want to repeat the joy of doing what we did together." Adding, "there is no hypothesis, so there is no movie. It’s a wish and a desire, and I have not made up my mind about what would be the story." [16]

Buddenbrooks

In the autumn/winter 2017 issue of Fantastic Man , Guadagnino stated that his dream project was an adaptation of Thomas Mann's 1901 novel Buddenbrooks , and that making it "would in a way encompass all my themes in one story.
