Guadagnino's "I Am Love"

Describe the role of Emma in the film - how do you see her character? In relation to her family - her lover - herself.
What about her past in Russia? Why do you think Guadagnin creates this character as an immigrant who has "lost herself" within Italian culture, society, the language, etc.?
Describe the ending of the film - how do you see Emma's character? Liberated, deluded, something else? Why or why not?
How might this film comment on the status of women as we have studied it over the course of the semester?
