While, overall, We Are Who We Are is contemplative and slight, it also expertly encapsulates the spontaneity and silliness of youth. The series will also be available to stream on HBO Max and NOW TV.
It will premiere on HBO on Septemand Sky Atlantic on October 9, 2020. The series is created, written, produced and directed by Luca Guadagnino. A coming-of-age story set in an army base in Italy. While other dramas might express this sentiment with a few lines of dialogue, Guadagnino crafts a musical sequence that is, at once, simple and elaborate and really fun. We Are Who We Are is an American limited series based on an original idea by Paolo Giordano. Seeing both Grazer and Seamon struggle to remain in character, occasionally breaking into laughter, is meant to reinforce how close their characters and how difficult it will be for them to separate. The scene is effortless, as the leads of We Are Who We Are expertly mouth the song’s lyrics and dance in matching white turtlenecks. Grazer and Seamon expertly and delightfully lip-synch to the song “Time Will Tell” by Dev Hynes, who has been namedropped in the series and also worked on its score. Both are a little bummed out by this and, as their day at school concludes, a delightful and unexplained music video suddenly takes over We Are Who We Are.
As they’re having lunch, Caitlin and Fraser discuss the fact that they’ll be spending a few days apart. The ostentatious cafeteria worker fits well, though, in an episode that also features an impromptu musical interlude. Fans have kept their eyes peeled for an appearance by Hammer ever since the Call Me By Your Name cameos were first reported.
