Call Me By Your Name

Director: Luca Guadagnino

2017 / 132min / DCP

The splendors of rural Lombardy provide the backdrop to the cagey romance between teenager Elio (Timothée Chalamet) and Oliver (Armie Hammer), a graduate student assisting Elio’s archaeologist professor father. “In Mr. Guadagnino’s work, passion and drama are expressed in words, deeds and surging music but also in the vibrant, visceral textures that envelop his characters—the cool marble, succulent fruit, shadow and light, sheens of sweat. These are movies that turn your gaze into near-touch, inviting you to see and almost caress their sun-warmed bodies.”—Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
