Call Me By Your Name
i watched this movie 2 days ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it since
146 - Final Potrait (2018)
Why Call Me By Your Name is my favourite movie of 2017
A bit late I know but any excuse to gush about this movie I will take. It was upon my second viewing of the film when I realised that this movie had become my number one. For some this my not be a hard fleet but for me, who watches nearly all the movies released from indie to blockbuster, comic book to Oscar bait, this is a massive feet especially since I watched it so late in the year. Typically my favourite movies are those which move me so deeply or ones which question my belief system. Whilst Call Me By Your Name didn't overly push my beliefs it did help me come to terms with myself but it did also shake me to my very core.
The film isn't a GAY love story it's just a love story which happens to be between two men. In reality it could be anyone in Elios or Olivers shoes and that's part of the films beauty. The fact that it's a relationship which we all long for, such a heart warming and passionate love.
Whilst the film could have easily been cinematic porn Luca Guadagnino directing makes it so every sexual encounter is tender, endearing and captivating. A clear example of this is when the two have sex for the first time rather then showing the act we pan to a beautiful elegant tree. This single tree for me symbolizes Elios and Olivers relationship so perfectly.
The only really sexual scene we get is the 'infamous' peach scene. An simplistic way to describe the scene would be, a horny teen masturbates with a peach and then his boyfriend eats it. Such a simple description can cause such a massive misunderstanding leading people to believe it is a lewd scene when in fact it's incredible artistic and well done. It would have been incredibly easy to ruin the entire film if this one scene was done wrong by the impeccable directing and acting gives it a gravitas. Through this moment we are given the chance to see Elio explore himself and his desires but after all is done and Oliver enters we seen an escalation plus an in sight into how Elios mind works. It evloves from lust, comedy, disgust, humiliation, fear and sadness.
This movie is able to reach its glory through its soundtrack, instantly after I watched it I bought the album because the music was not only that good but that instrumental to the film. Obviously the two songs that are thought of are Sufjan Stevens "Mystery of Love" and "Visions of Gideon". Both the melody and the lyrics of the songs fit the film so perfectly and if "Visions of Gideon" doesn't haunt you after watching that ending then I do not understand you as a person. It perfectly captures all of the saddness and sorrow that Elio is feeling while "Mystery of Love" captures the journey of discovery he is on.
We can't talk about this film and not mention the acting, the star Timothée Chalamet. This movie has put him on the map and on a very long and prosperous road to stardom. The character of Elio could have come across as unsympathetic due to his vast intellect and stand offish nature however both Timothée and the screenplay writer James Ivory make us see his vulnerabilities and relatability through nuances and his teen tendencies. Timothée was incredible through out the movie but my part of his acting was at the end during that phone call and fireplace sequence where we see him start to digest what he has learnt causing him to break. When he repeats "Elio" to Oliver on the phone the way he changes his voice with each utter of the word is able to broadcast his emotions but invoke yours as well. Then at the fireplace he does something completely different by saying nothing which says everything. Simply using his body language and his tears to convey such pain was absolutely incredible but heart breaking to watch.
Armie Hammer. Oliver. This man is not getting enough credit for his performance sure he doesn't have as much screen time as Elio but that doesn't mean he isn't as important and that his role should be overlooked. Armie had a very tough job of portraying someone who we had to be charmed by but also not know very much about. Whilst on the surface it may seem like an easy role the layers of this character are plentiful and Armie peels away at them all. It's slight moments like him crying when he looks at Elio that give us in sight into the depth of his love. There is also his guarded side which we see by him not making an obvious first move and constantly fearing for Elio. Then there is insecurity we see after there first time at the lake. By we get to the end we are still completely charmed by him we don't hate him for leaving and not staying with Elio because there is hope, then all that hope is destroyed making us and Elio simultaneously realise how little we knew Oliver. Despite this bombshell we still can't hate Oliver as even in this moment of pain we can understand his reasoning.
My final point (surprisingly) is the cinematography which gives such an aesthetic. It makes you want to fly to Italy right away because it's that beautiful. The imagery reflects there relationship and enhances the films enchanting aesthetic. This is also why Call Me By Your Name is one of the most eye pleasing films.
All in all I am completely enamoured by this film and believe it deserves all the acclaim and love in the world. Thank you for reading ♡
I have about as much control over how I look as the guy who’s short and looks more like a character actor - we both have the same drive to be actors and we both have the same drive to assume these different characters, it’s just harder for me to get the chance because they look at me and say, ‘Oh, he’s this type,’ and they stamp me.

We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster, that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty, and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But, to make yourself feel nothing, so as not to feel anything… What a waste. Call Me By Your Name (2017) dir. Luca Guadagnino
