\u201cWhat do you do around here?\u201d the tall Oliver (Armie Hammer) asks Elio (Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet), the 17-year-old giving him a tour of the enchanting Italian village where Oliver will be working for the next six weeks. \u201cWait for the summer to end,\u201d the bored Elio says with a sigh. \u201cAnd what do you do in the winter? Wait for the summer to come?\u201d Oliver retorts back. That line gets only a chuckle from Elio, but that statement captures the initial mood of\u00a0Call Me by Your Name,<\/i>\u00a0Luca Guadagnino\u2019s magnificent new romance, which follows a deep connection that forms out of those restless days of late adolescence.<\/p>\n
The story follows Elio, a 17 year old Italian-American, staying in his family\u2019s villa in northern Italy in the summer of 1983. He slowly begins to fall in love with Oliver, his father\u2019s assistant for the summer. In this sweeping and picturesque landscape of Italy; they create a small private space between the two of them, making every moment more intimate than the last.\u00a0Call Me By Your Name<\/i>\u00a0is a looking glass into the fleeting romance between two people.<\/p>\n
Guadagnino is good at catching the lilting drift of late summers. All of the characters at the villa seem to be moving in slow motion. This slow drawl makes the pacing of the story perfect, with every scene emasculating the laziness of a summer day that bleeds into a longer night. This lethargy captures the relationship between of Elio and Oliver, making the moments between the two characters into an idealized picture of romance.<\/p>\n
Call Me By Your Name<\/i>\u00a0is a visually beautiful film that is very passionate and contemplative. The movie soars in its aesthetics, with the soundtrack being a mix of calm classical to Sufjan Stevens\u2019 ballads of love. Overall, it is a glorious example of how a simple plot can be greater and more powerful than an intricate storyline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
