Vay Tiền Nhanh Chỉ Cần Cmnd Nợ Xấu. Cứ như một bản tình ca lạ lùng, Call me by your name nhẹ nhàng len lỏi, ám ảnh lấy Uyên suốt quãng thời gian từ lần đầu tiên xem bộ phim. Uyên đi ngược lại với nguyên tắc phim truyện, xem phim trước rồi mới vớ lấy sách đọc ngấu nghiến. Cả truyện và phim đều làm Uyên thẫn thờ thổn thức, mắc kẹt trong mớ cảm xúc khó tả thành lời của nhân vật, và cả của đến nghẹt thở! Đó là tất cả những gì Uyên có thể miêu tả về tác phẩm tuyệt vời này của André Aciman – tác giả đặt bút viết nên câu chuyện của Call me by your name, và Luca Guadagnino, người phù phép đem câu chuyện lên màn ảnh bằng con mắt tinh tế và nghệ thuật của ông. Call me by your name kể về câu chuyện tình giữa Elio – một cậu thanh niên 17 tuổi, ngây ngô, vô tư, tâm hồn mong manh dễ vỡ và Oliver – một chàng sinh viên 24 tuổi , cứng cỏi, thông minh, lý trí. Oliver và Elio gặp nhau gói gọn trong 6 tháng hè ở miền Bắc nước Ý, và chỉ thực sự tìm thấy nhau trong 3 tháng còn lại cuối cùng của mùa hè năm ấy. James Ivory, người thổi hồn vào kịch bản chuyển thể Call me by your name từ tiểu thuyết cùng tên của André Aciman, là một đạo diễn, nhà biên kịch nhà sản xuất của điện ảnh Hollywood những năm 80 cùng bộ hai Ismail Merchant và Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, những người tạo nên hãng phim Merchant Ivory Productions danh tiếng một thời. Những tác phẩm điện ảnh của ông luôn mang hơi hướng hoài cổ, lãng mạn, dạt dào cảm xúc. Bối cảnh của phim luôn mang nét mộc mạc giản dị của những làng quê Châu Âu, điều mà chúng ta có thể thấy rất rõ ở Call Me By Your James Ivory là người đem đến nét đẹp nghệ thuật cho bộ phim, thì Luca Guadagnino là người đem tâm hồn tô điểm cho nét đẹp hình thể đó của James. Call Me By Your Name được coi như là phần cuối cùng khép lại bộ ba phim tiếp sau I Am Love 2010 và A Bigger Splash 2015 của Luca, một kết thúc buồn, hụt hẫng nhưng đầy xúc cảm, vương Oliver dường như là hai thế giới đối lập nhau. Hai người là hai bức tranh hoàn toàn khác. Thế nhưng bằng một cách nào đó, họ lại tìm thấy lỗi rẽ thâm nhập vào thế giới của nhau, để từ đó mắc kẹt mãi mãi trong tận sâu tâm hồn tình cảm của Oliver và Elio dành cho nhau giống như một sự thử thách. Bởi sự khác biệt và định kiến xã hội là những gì khiến hai tâm hồn đồng điệu này phải mất quá lâu để có thể dũng cảm đối mặt với cảm xúc của chính chuyện của Oliver và Elio khiến Uyên nhớ đến Ennis del Mar và Jack Twist trong Brokeback Mountain, và chắc hẳn những ai đã từng xem bộ phim này, khi xem Call Me By Your Name đều sẽ liên tưởng và kết nối sự tương đồng của hai tác phẩm. Rất khó để có thể diễn tả từng tầng lớp cảm xúc của một mối tình như thế này. Bồng bột có, hoang dại có, trần trụi có, hưng phấn có, mãnh liệt có. Cả sự mong manh, e dè len lỏi giữa những nhân vật cũng thể hiện rất rõ, đặc biệt trong những tác phẩm về đề tài đồng người như Oliver, Elio, Ennis, Jack, họ đều là những kẻ có tâm hồn nhạy cảm, họ luôn kiếm tìm cái đẹp, cái cảm xúc ở những điều tưởng chừng như nhỏ bé. Bất chấp tất cả những chuẩn mực được đưa ra từ xã hội, bỏ qua một bên cái tôi to lớn, họ hướng tới cái cảm xúc chân thật, cái đẹp ở một tâm hồn đồng điệu với chính họ, để tiến tới một điều duy nhất tình tháng có thể không phải là một quãng thời gian dài và đủ để một mối tình trở thành cái gọi là tình yêu. Nhưng tình yêu thì chẳng bao giờ có định nghĩa nhất định, không giới hạn, không đóng khung, không có đúng sai, trái phải. Oliver và Elio cũng vậy. họ yêu nhau bằng một cách tự nhiên nhất, trân trọng những gì đang có ở hiện tại, và sống trọn từng khoảnh khắc của cái thời gian đẹp đẽ bên nhau. “Này, con có một tình bạn đẹp. Có lẽ hơn cả tình bạn, Cha ghen tị với con. Ở địa vị của cha, hầu hết các bậc phụ huynh sẽ mong toàn bộ chuyện đó biến đi hoặc cầu nguyện rằng con trai họ vượt qua cho chóng. Nhưng cha không phải là một vị phụ huynh như thế. Ở địa vị con nếu có nỗi đau hãy nuôi dưỡng nó, và nếu ngọn lửa bùng lên, đừng dập tắt nó, đừng tàn bạo với nó. Sự rút lui có thể là thứ kinh khủng khi nó khiến ta tỉnh thức vào ban đêm, và khi những kẻ khác quên ta đi nhanh hơn ý muốn của ta. Ta hy sinh bản thân quá nhiều để được chữa lành nhanh chóng, thế nên đến năm ba mươi tuổi ta đã cạn kiệt, chả còn gì để trao đi mỗi khi bắt đầu với một người mới. Nhưng chuyện không cảm nhận một điều gì hết để tránh cảm nhận một điều cụ thể, thật là lãng phí!”. Đây là những lời mà cha của Elio trong phim do Michael Stuhlbarg thủ vai nói với Elio sau khi Oliver rời khỏi Ý để trở về Mỹ. Không đơn thuần chỉ là những lời nói vu vơ, an ủi, đây là tiếng lòng của của một người cha, nói thay cho những con người như Elio, Oliver. Mỗi người đều chỉ có một cuộc đời để sống, để yêu, để ghét, để đau đớn, để cảm nhận, chẳng có ý nghĩa gì nếu một người phải kìm nén và quên đi cảm xúc hay chính bản thân mình để thỏa mãn những chuẩn mực của xã hội. Dù biết sẽ có những lúc những cảm xúc ấy qua đi, sẽ là những dằn vặt, đau khổ, tự vấn, nhưng điều quan trọng nhất, là ta đã yêu, đã thực sự sống với chính mình trong khoảnh khắc ấy. I’m just like you, I remember everythingANH GIỐNG EM, ANH NHỚ TẤT CẢ MỌI và Elio đã không còn ở trong cuộc đời của nhau, sau một mùa hè ngắn ngủi tưởng chừng như kéo dài mãi mãi. Nhưng những gì mà hai người đã có, sẽ vẫn nằm lại đó. Bất biến. Trường tồn. Tìm đọc “Call me by your name” phim Call me by your nameMỘT SỐ FUN FACTS VỀ CALL ME BY YOUR NAME TRÊN KÊNH

8/10 Elegant and painfully passionate Warning Spoilers There were many scenes in this movie that stuck with me, most of which have probably been discussed to death the dad, the peach, the sheer pleasure of sitting around reading, swimming, and doing whatever you want unsupervised.I think as an American, one of the things that stuck to my bones was how the parents reacted to their son's sexuality. I don't mean his homosexuality. I mean, sexuality as a whole. Despite most of the key characters being American, they all have a European sensibility that it very rare to see here in the US. One could argue that the movie itself could be making a social comment about open, honest European views of sex vs. moralizing, restrictive American the parents see their son is attracted to a man, so they do things to help facilitate that attraction by giving them the idea to travel alone together. They also let Elio and Oliver have their space in the house - they aren't monitoring Elio or "checking up on him," which I found the parents are genuinely always there for Elio in helping him discuss sexual relationships. He is able to say to his parents out loud, "I could never be that open," a vulnerable statement I have trouble imagining ever having expressed to my parents. They simply reassure him; they don't nag or moralize him about sex. Of course, there's the scene with the father discussing his own sexual past and desires, openly and without judgment that exemplifies this the adults in the movie treat Elio respectfully with regards to his sexual encounters. For example, when Elio greets the older gay couple with Marzia and quickly gives her a kiss and loving pat, the adults simply maturely greet her and say hello. No one says "Ohhhhhhh! You have a GIRRRLFRIENND!!!!!!!!!" In the US, I find it typical that adults make teasing comments and condescending "jokes" about "how cute it is to have a crush" to teenagers. This moralizing can make teens internalize that they are doing something wrong, when they are actually doing something see adults treat Elio respectfully and collegially, like a mature young adult for whom sex is one of many natural, positive experiences, filled me with hope, jealousy, and a strong feeling about the kind of parent one should be when one has teenagers. It's not very common you walk out of a movie thinking, "This movie has changed or informed the way I want to live my life" but this one has for I think we are in a particular time where we are really looking back on the 1980s with a specific nostalgia for a time when kids could just be kids, ride their bikes everywhere, have adventures, be home for dinner, then go out again and have more unsupervised adventures. Stranger Things, It, and this film all are really tapping into that nostalgia, albeit in slightly different music in this movie is what I can only describe as beautiful, Sufjan's songs in particular stand out as incredibly moving. Visions of Gideon is an absolute soul crusher. The music added to the atmosphere of the movie, which was so warm and peaceful. It was so refreshing to see a movie about two men in a relationship that didn't end with one of them dying or angry parents, nothing of the sort. Time is the villain here, and I think that makes it all the more tragic. 346 out of 408 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 10/10 The joy and pain of love and desire Saw 'Call Me By Your Name' as someone trying to see as many films from 2017 as possible, because same sex love has been portrayed beautifully more than once and because it was one of the best received films of the year with a lot of award attention as we distinction more than well deserved. 'Call Me By Your Name' is certainly one of my favourites of a pretty hit and miss 2017 with some great films, bad films and films in between and near but not quite both extremes and, like another gay love-themed film from 2017 'God's Own Country', one of the films of the year that really touched me. It is much more than just a "gay movie" and shouldn't be dismissed as just that, that on the most part it hasn't is a good thing. 'Call Me By Your Name' is most striking for its emotional impact. The erotic elements are tasteful and sensual, but it's the relationships that are even more beautifully done. The subject matter is handled with subtlety and surprising wit and the central relationship is tender and compassionate with a little tension. Just as, even more, impressive is the father and son relationship, which was sincere and touching, again with just as much burning intensity, and boasted the film's most powerful scene. The joy and pain of love and desire is portrayed in a way that really touched my soul and comes over as surprisingly acting is another big strength, advantaged by that the characters are interesting and not stereotypical with conflicts that are genuine and not predictable. Timothee Chalamet is especially remarkable and has a great future ahead of him if he continues in this direction. Armie Hammer is hardly inferior in perhaps his best performance to date, a very sympathetic performance which helps make the central relationship as powerful as it is. Michael Stuhlbarg also should be highlighted, a very wise and sincere performance and he has never been this Guadagnino directs beautifully, bringing the best out of his actors and the gorgeous scenery just as gorgeously shot. The sincerity, wisdom, compassion and wit of the source material is ideally captured in the script and as indicated the film looks great. The music has whimsy and understatement which suits the story perfectly, and while the pace is Merchant/Ivory-influenced-like deliberate it never felt dull to me due to being swept up in the emotion and being riveted by the writing and performances. In conclusion, a beautiful film with much more to it than what it can easily be dismissed as. 10/10 Bethany Cox 104 out of 138 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 10/10 A touching romance Call me by your name » is a beautiful movie about first love. The atmosphere is dreamy and I have been taken on an emotional journey for two hours. Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer give remarkable performances. There is a great chemistry between them. The charming landscapes, the good soundtrack and the delicate direction also contribute to this achievement. I like the way homosexuality is portrayed being gay is normal; there is no drama queen and no pathos. This is a touching story that makes me want to fall in love. 193 out of 231 found this helpful.

Permalink 10/10 It is about compassion, trust, and wisdom Warning Spoilers Chiron, in Barry Jenkins' Oscar-winning film "Moonlight," in addition to being gay and black, has to deal with drug abuse, bullying, and the lack of a supportive home environment. In contrast, in Luca Guadagnino's "A Bigger Splash" achingly beautiful Call Me by Your Name, 17-year-old Elio's Timothée Chalamet, "Love the Coopers" life is safe, comfortable, and surrounded by love though, like Chiron, he must come to terms with his true identity. Written by three-time Oscar nominee James Ivory and adapted from the 2007 novel by Andre Aciman, Call Me by Your Name is set in the summer of 1983 where Oliver Armie Hammer, "Free Fire" is an American research assistant studying with art history Professor Perlman Michael Stuhlbarg, "Steve Jobs" at Perlman's gorgeous villa in Northern arrives at this idyllic setting with its gardens, peach trees, and lakes to greet the professor, his wife Annella Amira Casar, "Planetarium" a lover of German poetry, and his teenage son Elio who speaks several languages and transcribes piano scores for the guitar. Shot by Thai cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives" and buoyed by new songs from Sufjan Stevens, it is easy to feel yourself present in the languid summer afternoon, as Aciman expresses it, "with the scent of rosemary, the heat, the birds, the cicadas, the sway of palm fronds, the silence that falls like a light linen shawl on an appallingly sunny day." With Oliver's arrival, Elio now has to shift his focus from pursuing his French girlfriend Marzia Esther Garrel, "Daydreams" to show the American student around town and give him bike tours of the area. Soon, however, he becomes annoyed by the American's brusque manner and his abrupt "later" whenever he's leaving. When Elio, who is Jewish, sees Oliver wearing a Star of David on a chain around his neck, however, he finds a common bond, jokingly telling him that his mother considers their family to be "Jews in discretion." Sharing the same bathroom, their friendship begins to expand when they engage in conversation and go swimming together. Although Oliver gives Elio a neck massage during a volley ball game, the boy seems unable or unwilling to process the feelings that it brings up in Oliver causally tells Elio that he seems to know everything, the teenager confesses that he knows everything except "what really matters." Even when physical intimacy is established, there is the sense that they hold back from fully expressing their feelings and even prefer not to talk about them. Chalamet, in his first leading role, is a revelation, delivering a deeply affecting performance that shows great promise. Hammer's performance is restrained, but also fully believable, making sure that the age difference does not get in the way of the honest and genuine relationship they have established. As they strengthen their friendship, like lovers, their identities blend into each other and they express it verbally by taking each other's name. Call Me by Your Name is not an "us versus them" movie. There are no antagonists in the film. It is a celebration of love in all its wonder and is gay sex in the movie but, like "Moonlight," it is about more than sex. As Guadagnino says, "it is about compassion, trust, and wisdom." All three of these values are expressed in the conversation between Elio and his dad, an interchange that is moving and wise. Though the film is "gay-themed," Guadagnino does not pigeonhole the characters into familiar categories and his refusal to deal in stereotypes or manufactured emotion gives the film the space to breathe and reach the place where tension can grow. Like "Moonlight," Call Me by Your Name has a universal appeal and can touch anyone, gay or straight, who has ever felt the confused and conflicting longings of first love, or who knows from experience that, in the words of the song "Plaisir d'amour," "The joy of love is but a moment long. The pain of love endures the whole life long." 241 out of 359 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 10/10 Timothee Chalamet Warning Spoilers I cried my eyes out. It was cleansing and reinvigorating. Timothee Chalamet is the living image of a friend from my childhood. He had a similar experience but a very different outcome and it made me think with a broken heart that if my friend had had a father like Elio's father he could have had a real chance at a happy, constructive life, instead of the agonizing pain that he went through. I hadn't though about him for years and Timothee brought him back to me with enormous power. What a beautiful, beautiful performance. Armie Hammer is a total revelation, the perfect foil for a first love. Michael Stuhlbarg introduces us to a character I had never seen on the screen before. He moved me no end, Then, of course, Luca Guadagnino. My hat to you sir. This is a film I will see many times. 321 out of 441 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 10/10 A masterpiece that will stay with you long after the credits Call Me By Your Name is the kind of movie that makes you sit through the credits with tears rolling down your face, staring blankly at the screen with a lump in your throat and tightness in your chest. Call Me By Your Name is not a tragic movie. It's not a sad movie. It's not a pretentious movie. It's a movie about love, and love, and love. A beautiful love that will leave you longing to find your own love and drown in it. Timothée Chalamet is an absolute force of nature. Elio will make you want to love, and hurt, and piece yourself back together with absolutely no regrets whatsoever. Elio will make you want to live your life to the fullest. Elio will make you want to break your own damn heart. It's so rare that a performance truly shows the depth of longing, and despair, and passion a character conveys through written words without the internal monologue. Timothée is truly a revelation and his last scene during the credits will have a lasting impact on Hammer is absolutely brilliant in the way he humanizes Oliver who is somewhat glorified through Elio's lens in the first part of the book. In the movie, Oliver is endearing and human and sexy and caring. He cares for Elio, and his love for him is so tender and so touchingMichael Stuhlbarg's monologue delivered nearing the end of the film is a complete masterpiece, and without a doubt that monologue with be taught and quoted for many years to come. A raw and beautiful this movie. Watch it, and love it, and don't let it fall victim to over-hype. Watch this movie. Fall in love in two hours and twelve minutes, then question every single time you didn't allow yourself to feel just because you were afraid of getting hurt. Was avoiding a possible heartbreak that might have shattered you worth never getting a taste of the heavens? Was killing the potential pain and heartache worth it? Was it worth it? 782 out of 952 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink A Cinematic Classic Warning Spoilers How can any review rightfully describe Call Me By Your Name? I had the immense privilege of seeing it at Sundance before of the world, so now I am one of the select few in charge of preaching the gospel that is Call Me By Your Name. This film is simply a masterpiece, possibly the best romance film of all time, and one of the best films of all time as plot is basic, but it is how the story is told through the actors, the imagery, and the music where the film shines. The son of an academic Elio, played by Timothee Chalamet falls in love, perhaps hopelessly, with a visiting student Oliver, played by Armie Hammer who is staying with his family "somewhere in northern Italy." Almost all reviewers will describe it as a gay romance, some will say it's just about two people falling in love and they will get criticized for trying to downplay the sexuality of the characters, but at its core it is about two people who fall in love with one another but have difficulty realizing that the other feels the same way. It is a universal film about love, sensuality, longing, and being true to most romance films are unrealistic, melodramatic, or otherwise uninspired, Call Me By Your Name is anything but. The first hour is tension-filled with innuendo in the actions between the main characters and the other people in the story that realistically captures the delicate dance involved in flirting. The passion that develops is palpable, with some of the best love scenes to grace the cinema - complete with the awkwardness involved. The ending may be predictable, but how everything plays out is a masterclass of film-making. The final monologue between father and son towards the end will be the highlight for most people. Michael Stahlbarg gives a breathtaking performance as he calmly provides his son comfort, but most importantly, acceptance. However, the emotional peak of the film truly comes at its end, with a haunting final shot that will stay with me forever. Timothee Chalamet is a revelation and is destined to become one of modern cinema's finest actors. Armie Hammer finally has a role that allows him to shine. While many will be surprised at the casting on paper, it is a testament to the actors that you can truly feel the passion between their characters so much that the pairing feels like destiny. Call Me By Your Name is a moving film that stays with you, leaving a dark depression for days that arises not from what happens in the movie, but how it is shown. It is so beautiful, but heart-wrenching at the same time, that it reminds us how amazing life is despite that our desires are not always, if ever, truly fulfilled. The film teaches the viewer important life lessons that have already deeply impacted me as a person and how I intend to live my life. The central question it asks is best summarized through a question asked by a character in the film "Is it better to speak, or to die?" After the film, one can only leave with one logical conclusion To speak, because to die, is to die without ever knowing the answer. And for Elio, regardless of how the relationship ends up see the film!, at least he knows the answer. 951 out of 1,093 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 8/10 The power of LOVE! Call Me By Your Name is one of those films which doesn't feel like a film but rather a journey of self discovery which we witness and feel as if it's happening at that exact Me By Your Name is the story of two people, Elio and Oliver, who fall in love over the course of the movie brings one of the most beautiful relationships ever put to film. The way writer James Ivory and director Luca Guadagnino portrayed this story felt so real and in the moment. Not even for a second does it feel like you're watching actors playing these characters because of how well everyone played their roles and the excellent direction by Chalamet is a force to be reckoned with. This man displayed such raw and tender emotion as Elio that it's impossible to think that Chalamet is acting. He is essentially our main focus since we see him learn more about himself and his sexuality as the film goes on. Elio is a character that you connect with and actually care about. He will make you feel a whole bunch of emotions as his character develops and not forget how terrific Elio's other half, Oliver, played by Armie Hammer was. The chemistry between these two seemed so genuine that you instantly root for both of them being together. The love and sweetness Oliver gives to Elio is something that can't be found or forgotten easily. There's something so sincere and authentic between these two that just makes tears stream down your face like a running tap. If there was one thing that I would've liked more, it would be learning more about the character of movie isn't your typical love story filled with obstacles and conflict. This is one that celebrates the ideology of LOVE and shows it in a touching and emotional way. By the end, there will be nothing else but sniffling and tears throughout the end credits. This film conveys one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful relationships the world has ever seen. 29 out of 41 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

You can see through the character's eyes, taste through their mouths but most importantly you feel, by God how you feel. Luca Guadagnino manages to extract the very best out of his actors Armie Hammer's performance shows unprecedented depth and Timothee Chalamet is the essence of awe inspiring acting, this film will land him an Oscar nomination at the very least. 331 out of 475 found this helpful.

It was an absolute pleasure watching it. 141 out of 205 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 9/10 Summer love discovered, explored and never forgotten Warning Spoilers I am usually quick to start focusing on the next film as soon as I've finished one, but here is a rare exception that I prefer to let linger on for a while even at the risk of my memory of it becoming unremarkable. That's because it's one of the most subtly affecting and beautiful love stories that I've seen in years. A low-key pace and a sumptuous musical score build the film to a conclusion that is truly story is of a young American graduate student who stays with a professor in his country house in Italy in the summer of 1983 and slowly develops an intimate relationship with the professor's precocious 17-year-old son. Timothee Chalamet and Armie Hammer are both brilliant in this film as the two who find companionship in an unexpected place, and Michael Stuhlbarg is wonderful as the professor. The young man and the teenage boy do not interact much at first, mostly because the young man appears detached and unresponsive. But I would be loath to reveal too much after that. Let's just say it's a film that one should absorb slowly and let its quiet power take hold. It's a film that truly captures some wonderful truths about the human condition, about the emotional toll of relationships and about how much one's secrets shape one's dynamic with terms of cinematography, there is much of the Italian countryside to marvel at. It makes that country seem like one of the most blissful and sublime places in the world to visit. History buffs and linguists will find some welcome material in the professor's dialogues with his graduate student to enjoy. As quiet and austere as the film may be at times, it contains a deeper passion that gradually gets tapped into and colors the mindset despite the taboo nature of the material. Never long or protracted, it will keep you guessing until the end and just leave a haunting feeling after it's over. Gladly recommended to anyone in search of true cinema. 24 out of 36 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 10/10 There are no words to describe it. Just finished watching Call Me by Your Name, and yes, I'm a little late. I'm just going to start by saying that this is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen in my whole life. There are so many factors that play a central role in my final judgment, and of course I'm gonna analyse and talk about them, but being an italian boy who grew up in southern Italy, there are a lot of references that make this movie a in every movie ever made, detail plays an important role, if not the most important one. I'm not going to talk about every single of them but I want to share the feelings they made me feel and talk about their actual importance. From the languages spoken, the music, the fabulous landscapes, to the interns of the house, the floor, the very old forniture, the books.. all things that bring me back to my childhood and make me smell again the pleasant atmosphere of my grandparents' house. From this point of view, the cinematic representation was completely accurate, and I'm very sure this process was also helped by the director himself, and his italian spend some time talking about the actors' performances. Timothée delivered his best performance so far, no wonder why he was nominated at the Oscars. He really dove into the character, and I can say that if I watch the details of his facial expressions. The details made me feel even more connected to the character, who slowly evolved through the course of the movie. Everyone was phenomenal in this movie, from Armie Hammer to the fantastic Michael movie can rapidly become very very personal, and it touches your soul. It did it to me. There are some things and feelings that unfortunately can't be explained. It was an amazing experience. Definan>10/10 An Extraordinary, Extraordinarily Unforgettable Masterwork of Filmmaking I loved "A Bigger Splash" the previous film by Luca Guadagnino, and was in awe by the trailer and stunning reviews for this film. Needless to say, my expectations were utterly shattered by this powerful, emotional, and gorgeous drama. It's one of the best films of the decade, and clearly the best film of the year so this isn't the type of film with too many spoilers, I still don't want to give too much away. It's better to go into such a sublime film like this knowing less rather than more. What I will say is that the main plot concerns an adolescent man who is spending a summer in the 1980's with family in Lombardy, Italy. He begins having a relationship with an older man invited as a guest by the family played by Armie Hammer. The film's pacing is superb and lets the viewer genuinely meet these characters, who are bonded by both friendship and physical affection. This is clearly shown throughout the movie, as the chemistry between the two leads is what makes "Call Me By Your Name" such a phenomenal film is its gripping sense of feeling. Viewers truly feel that they are away from where they are viewing the film, and truly feel like they have been transported to 1980's Italy. Guadagnino is a masterpiece at eliciting senses, and the audience's sense of senses are used to full effect to simulate the true feelings of being in Italy. From luscious depictions of peaches and apricots grown in the countryside, to the streets in gorgeous Italian towns and the steamy espresso, every sight and sound in the film feels truly authentic and impactful on the viewer. I have not seen such an effective use of reflecting on audiences' senses to create a more immersive viewing experience in a film in years. The film's score is exceptional as well. It feels authentically Italian and beautifully emotional, especially when paired with the film's script in many scenes. The writing feels both authentic and intelligent at all times, and the film doesn't even manage to let its guard down in a single scene by failing to grip the viewer with its beautiful script. A late-film monologue by Michael Stuhlbarg is a particular one can see from reading this review, this film is truly unforgettable and a brilliant trip to Italy. Its immersion in its setting and characters remind us of the focal point of cinema to expose the viewer to unique settings and opportunities and to transport them to these opportunities through the language of film.

Pretty much everything I feel about this film has been mentioned here before. But boy did it make me FEEL, from the opening credits right through the end credits. It made my heart soar and sink with its colours, scenery, music, and above all else its acting. The phenomenon that is Chalamet was yet unknown to me, and Hammer I'd only seen in a bad chickflick, so it would be an understatement to say I was pleasantly surprised by how they performed. There's so much detail as well, from the inquisitive and knowing looks of a mother, to the picturesqueness of a ladder against the fruittree. Everything about this film draws you in. If I could dream up memories of a hot Italian summer in a rural hamlet, this would be it, I swear I could almost smell and taste this film. Luca Guadagnino made a masterpiece here and I highly doubt it will ever be surpassed in its category. 111 out of 151 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 10/10 "Call Me By Your Name" perfectly adapted to film. Warning Spoilers If you've read the book, you will not be disappointed. If you've not read the book, you must. They fit together as a beautiful work together. Companions in art. One without the other, and you just aren't as fulfilled. I cannot wait to reread the performance is one for the history books. The Adele Excharpolous à la Blue is the Warmest Color of the year. His eyes are so expressive and every emotion and action is so deeply felt by this poor tortured soul that by the ending you cannot help but weep and feel at the absolute lowest you've ever is portrayed to perfection, as well. His "later" and other phrases stand out so sharply in a world of prompt and prim dialect that it makes us feel engaged in a way that I've never felt by a movie. He was such an outsider and yet we were assimilating to his was as opposed to the way it should be. He, a guest, in Italy, for 6 weeks, leaves just as American as the day he obsession with men dancing and swimming pools and beautifully choreographed sex, is perfect for this story. I cannot think of a better match. Luca said in the Q&A afterward that he decided to change a few things from the book because not everything written in prose works on screen in a cinematic way, and if you've read the book, you will agree. He also said the author, who makes a small cameo in the film, thinks Luca's changes are better than the original form. So, that's scene? Devastating. Sufjan's new songs? was a very sad movie but I loved every second. Let's hope Suspiria is even better. Luca G. might be the most exciting director working today. It was a privilege to watch this with him and the amazing cast and crew INCLUDING Sufjan. I hope Sony Pictures Classics doesn't mess up the distribution/awards campaign. This deserves 10/10 opening credits/font. Luca can do no wrong. 462 out of 604 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 5/10 Disappointing Warning Spoilers I really wanted to like this film. I read the book when it came out; I am a gay man; I love films about love relationships between beautiful men; I love films with bits of European languages and lovely European settings; I am 'pro' art house films which are all about characters and take their time. But this didn't work. Firstly, it was really too long. But my main problem was that the relationship between Elio and Oliver just didn't ring true. OK, a few small things happened between them which could have been seen as sexual the shoulder massage, but they were both busy doing things with women a lot. Nothing wrong with being bi! And Elio is meant to be young, finding himself etc. But one day, he suddenly says to Oliver that he needs to tell him something, and Oliver says he knows what it is - but there really hasn't been enough evidence of that building up. I do realise that reading an article about Hammer which said that he had a clause added to his contract restricting the amount of sex and nudity he would be expected to do - well that made me struggle to see sincerity in his acting. Chalumet on the other hand is a great discovery. The way he holds a close-up all through the closing titles, showing a range of emotions, is very impressive indeed. I can remember so clearly what it was like at 17 OK yes, 50 years ago to kind of enjoy feeling sad and then elated about love and sex, and Chalumet shows that brilliantly. But he is not enough to save this film, and nor is the man playing his father, who does such an excellent job of channelling Robin Williams. 477 out of 787 found this helpful.

CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, like his previous A BIGGER SPLASH and I AM LOVE are filled with scenes touching upon all the senses. Guadagnino gorgeously captures images of beautiful objects, locations, books and, of course, the pleasures of the flesh. His soundtracks are filled with the sounds of nature as well as overflowing with music usually classical, but, with more modern nods to the Rolling Stones and the Psychedelic Furs. His characters luxuriate with the smells of food and they caress the world around is within that world that screenwriter James Ivory adapting André Aciman's novel places our main characters seventeen year old Elio Timothy Chalamet and twenty-something Oliver Armie Hammer. Every year, Elio's parents Professor Perlman Michael Stuhlbarg and Anella Amira Casar invite a research assistant to their idyllic villa in Northern Italy. In 1983, that person is Oliver, an American who sweeps into town with his good looks and cool persona. Oliver simultaneously attracts the attention of the ladies in town - as well as Elio. Complicating matters is that Elio is also having a summer romance with a young Parisian Marzia Esther Garrel.While on the surface, this may seem like a simple potboiler, Ivory, Guadagnino and the cast gracefully ease the audience into the tale. The film takes full advantage of the 132 minute run-time. Nothing is hurried. No shortcuts taken. The emotions are given time to build organically. It's like a lovely concerto that plays out to its own meter. The pacing may be too languid for those who demand a more forceful drama, but, CALL ME is a film to soak in. To luxuriate within. The subtext and the atmosphere not only inform the main story, they become part of it. By the time Elio and Oliver's infatuation is consummated, you have fully invested in ME is deliberately set in the early 80s - just as AIDS was becoming a concern, and, of course, long before coming out was accepted. And, some may find the idyllic setting a bit too perfect. Hammer's performance is a bit too flat at the beginning, but, pays off as it progresses. Chalamat also strong in the current LADY BIRD brings off the extremely difficult task of externalizing what is largely and internalized character - simmering until it boils. Stuhlbarg is largely a background figure for much of the story-line, but, is sterling in one of the film's key scenes. Guardagnino's choices of music is impeccable including pieces by Bach, Revel and Satie and Sayombhu Mukdeeprom's 35mm film lensing captures every moment the surface, a collaboration between a sensualist like Guadagnino and the reserved James Ivory as in Merchant-Ivory may seem a bit of a mismatch, but, it works beautifully. Together with the cast & crew, they have created one of the year's most indelible films. 19 out of 33 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 7/10 A Strong Film About Love & Being Who You Are! 'Call Me by Your Name' is a film about LOVE. Its also a film about being who you are. And Writer James Ivory & Director Luca Guadagnino bring us a tale on young romance & living life, with honesty & the emotional impact akin to a sledgehammer. And Timothée Chalamet is the find of the year.'Call Me by Your Name' Synopsis In Northern Italy in 1983, seventeen year-old Elio Timothée Chalamet, begins a relationship with visiting Oliver Armie Hammer , his father's research assistant, with whom he bonds over his emerging sexuality, their Jewish heritage, and the beguiling Italian seen love-stories before on Gay people, but not all leave the impact like 'Call Me by Your Name' does. This is an honest love-story about a boy and a man, who can't help but fall in love with each other, despite never coming to the world of their sexuality. And the way Director Luca Guadagnino has shot its leading lovers, is something to watch. There is genuine heartache in its characters & also undeniable love. This is a love-story, that's sad but also heartfelt at times. James Ivory's Screenplay is expertly written, offering a story on love & longing, without ever indulging into melodrama. Luca Guadagnino's Direction is simplistic, but extremely effective. Sayombhu Mukdeeprom's Cinematography captures the passion of its leading lovers, with gusto. Walter Fasano's Editing is mostly crisp. Art & Costume Design merit a special mention. Sufjan Stevens's Score is Timothée Chalamet is truly the find of the year. The youngster delivers a searingly beautiful performance of a young man who comes to realize his sexuality to a much older man. Chalamet brings nuance & innocence to the part & stands out from start to finish. He's truly one actor who deserves strong Oscar buzz for his excellent work here. Armie Hammer also does his best work here. He and Chalamet share a infectious on- screen chemistry, that appears real & affecting. The Wonderful Michael Stuhlbarg is masterful as Chalamet's dad, who understands his son beyond his silences. Watch him in the penultimate moments & you'll know his caliber as a performer. Amira Casar as Chalamet's mom, also is lovely. Esther Garrel as Chalamet's girl, with whom he experiences sexual episodes, is the whole, 'Call Me by Your Name' leaves a strong impression. Make time for it. 14 out of 24 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 10/10 Summer loving'... had me a blast Luca Guadagnino made quite an impression on me as a filmmaker with A Bigger Splash, a film that combined an engaging narrative with some fantastic performances. With his latest film, Call Me by Your Name, Guadagnino certainly has the potential to repeat the trick and deliver more of the Oliver Armie Hammer, a graduate student, arrives to stay with the family of his professor in northern Italy, he meets Elio Timothée Chalamet, his professor's son. What follows is a summer full of music, food and romance that will forever change their impressively, Luca Guadagnino follows A Bigger Splash with just as an engaging film however, he shows a much softer hand when dealing with the sensual nature of a film such as Call Me by Your Name. It truly is a beautiful piece of cinema, Guadagnino's direction of the intimate coming-of-age narrative being a real some genuinely fantastic dialogue included in the screenplay written by Guadagnino, James Ivory and Walter Fasano. The subtlety of the comedy is great but it's the poignancy of the words when relationships come into play that will stay with the audience, particularly a moment shared between Elio and his father towards the end of the film. It's silently powerful to the performances, Call Me by Your Name features two leads in Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer who share such a natural and fitting chemistry. It felt much like that shared between Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara in Carol, effortless and becoming much more impactful as a result. Chalamet in particular has a very bright future ahead of himself. There's also a fine performance from Michael Stuhlbarg as Elio's father to look out for, balancing the comedy and emotion expect people to make comparisons between Call Me by Your Name and Moonlight given the nature of their subject matter however, I'd rather not see people try and play them off against one another because they both deserve such high praise. Being in the company of such a film is a major achievement for a film like Call Me by Your Name. 54 out of 102 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 8/10 Brilliant and disappointing at the same time Warning Spoilers I have seldom had such strong, but also mixed feelings about a movie. There were aspects that I disliked, but they were ultimately outweighed by the things that I found absolutely brilliant so I think the rating of 8 is well deserved, especially because movies that handle gay love respectfully are still way too think the overall "carpe diem" message of the film was wonderful. I loved and was moved to tears by the monologue by the father in which he tells his son what too many parents would not. I also thought the acting by the boy could not have been better. I have never seen a more impressive and realistic end titles scene than this. I also adore that this movie realistically shows that love is not only beautiful but also true at 17, regardless of age gap. Gay or straight does not really the movie disappointed me is in the way the relationship was built up and how both characters betrayed their own feelings which rang unreal to me. I understand the struggle of the man to hide his feelin 2/10 Weird and overrated Warning Spoilers I guess watching this film is fairly different for people who have read the book by now, but for me, this film is highly disappointing and, occasionally even disturbing. First of all, the cast for Oliver character is deeply problematic. Not because Army Hammer is a bad actor. On contrary, I think he is all right in general. However, the role simply does not suit him. Oliver should be just a few years older than Elio, while Hammer looks like at least 15 year older than a younger actor, and on the screen there is a striking encounter of a grown up, bored older man seducing a half his age and still under age boy. That is a disturbing dimension of the film that probably does not strike in the book, but it attracts too much attention in the film, and looks disturbing. Second, all the other characters in the film, apart from the main two, are so underdone, ridiculously superficial, with bad directing and bad acting, that it is very very difficult to imagine such a situation everything is set up for two main characters to engage in the affair, nobody around them matters in any way, they can do whatever they want, and everybody is just a background to their situation. Well, that does not happen in real life ever. The most weird part is the act of Elio's parents, especially father. In general, both parents look like they enjoy bringing some pretty "assistants" to their house, practically inviting them for a holiday, with pretext that they need "a help with research", and then the whole family, friends and neighbors flirt with this assistant, waiting to see with whom he or she will be having an affair. That is how it looks on the basis of what is shown. During all this time with Elio's family, Oliver behaves as if he is on vacation, going around full of himself, showing his body, kind of flirting with Elio's parents, and everybody else, while his parents deeply approve everything he does or says, like he is a God, although he is supposed to be "doing some work", actually. The most ridiculous figure in it is Elio's father, who looks like a sad comedian who is dying to catch Oliver's smile, in spite of being a middle aged professor happily married with a beautiful wife. His wise words to Elio in the end confirm his own more then obvious homosexuality, and even his "envy" of his son affair with another man, which is really more then weird. Likewise, it sounds weird when the parents announce in the end that now they will be choosing a new "assistant"for the next summer who will be a woman, so we can clearly imagine an attractive older woman coming now to seduce Elio again, under the watch of his parents, of course. I am sorry, I am not really comfortable with all that, that all looks a bit sick, to tell the truthIn sum, film is more like a prayer to the lust and superficiality, adoration of pure form and vanity, than something deep. The boy is not coming of age in some authentic way, he is more being a good boy doing just what his parents expect from him, no matter how strange it is. There is no a real message in this film. 152 out of 298 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. Permalink 9/10 A moving love story. Seventeen year old Elio falls for his father's research assistant, mature American could say that this is a slow burner, a tale of unrequited love, from the side of a teenage boy, who's possibly just learning about what he wants, and on a journey of self an incredibly absorbing story, it's captivating, it's emotional, it's moving. I've read a few comments questioning why Elio would fall for the conceited and arrogant Oliver, who wouldn't fall for Armie Hammer, he truly does have film star looks, and true Chalamet came to my attention in Dune, and I am super excited to see more of him, I knew he was good, I see here that he's immensely talented, his acting is phenomenal, even learning to play the piano, and some Italian for that part, he is superb plays the part well, Oliver is of course conceited, but it's that aloofness, that unobtainability that makes him so isn't hard to see how and why the awards rolled in for this film, a gay romance would never have gotten into a mainstream film such as this a decade an impressive movie, 9/10. 4 out of 5 found this helpful.

Luca Guadagnino’s films are all about the transformative power of nature—the way it allows our true selves to shine through and inspires us to pursue our hidden passions. From the wild, windswept hills of “I Am Love” to the chic swimming pool of “A Bigger Splash,” Guadagnino vividly portrays the outside world as almost a character in itself—driving the storyline, urging the other characters to be bold, inviting us to feel as if we, too, are a part of this intoxicating atmosphere. Never has this been more true than in “Call Me By Your Name,” a lush and vibrant masterpiece about first love set amid the warm, sunny skies, gentle breezes and charming, tree-lined roads of northern Italy. Guadagnino takes his time establishing this place and the players within it. He’s patient in his pacing, and you must be, as well. But really, what’s the rush? It’s the summer of 1983, and there’s nothing to do but read, play piano, ponder classic art and pluck peaches and apricots from the abundant fruit trees. Within this garden of sensual delights, an unexpected yet life-changing romance blossoms between two young men who initially seem completely different on the surface. 17-year-old Elio Timothee Chalamet is once again visiting his family’s summer home with his parents his father Michael Stuhlbarg, an esteemed professor of Greco-Roman culture, and his mother Amira Casar, a translator and gracious hostess. Elio has the gangly body of a boy but with an intellect and a quick wit beyond his years, and the worldliness his parents have fostered within him at least allows him to affect the façade of sophistication. But beneath the bravado, a gawky and self-conscious kid sometimes still emerges. By the end of the summer, that kid will be vanquished forever. An American doctoral student named Oliver Armie Hammer arrives for the annual internship Elio’s father offers. Oliver is everything Elio isn’t—or at least, that’s our primary perception of him. Tall, gorgeous and supremely confident, he is the archetypal all-American hunk. But as polite as he often can be, Oliver can also breeze out of a room with a glib, “Later,” making him even more of a tantalizing mystery. Chalamet and Hammer have just ridiculous chemistry from the get-go, even though or perhaps because their characters are initially prickly toward each other testing, pushing, feeling each other out, yet constantly worrying about what the other person thinks. They flirt by trying to one-up each other with knowledge of literature or classical music, but long before they ever have any physical contact, their electric connection is unmistakable. Lazy poolside chats are fraught with tension; spontaneous bike rides into town to run errands feel like nervous first dates. Writer James Ivory’s generous, sensitive adaptation of Andre Aciman’s novel reveals these characters and their ever-evolving dynamic in beautifully steady yet detailed fashion. And so when Elio and Oliver finally dare to reveal their true feelings for each other—a full hour into the film—the moment makes you hold your breath with its intimate power, and the emotions feel completely authentic and earned. The way Elio and Oliver peel away each other’s layers has both a sweetness and a giddy thrill to it, even though they feel they must keep their romance a secret from Elio’s parents. Elio also has a kinda-sorta girlfriend in Marzia [Esther Garrel], a thoughtful, playful French teen who’s also in town for the summer. One of the many impressive elements of Chalamet’s beautiful, complex performance is the effortless way he transitions between speaking in English, Italian and French, depending on whom Elio is with at the time. It gives him an air of maturity that’s otherwise still in development; eventually his massive character arc feels satisfying and true. But Oliver’s evolution is just as crucial, and Hammer finds the tricky balance between the character’s swagger and his vulnerability as he gives himself over to this exciting affair. He’s flirty but tender—the couple’s love scenes are heartbreaking and intensely erotic all at once—and even though he’s the more experienced of the two, he can’t help but diving in headlong. And yet, the most resonant part of “Call Me By Your Name” may not even be the romance itself, but rather the lingering sensation that it can’t last, which Guadagnino evokes through long takes and expert use of silence. A feeling of melancholy tinges everything, from the choice of a particular shirt to the taste of a perfectly ripe peach. And oh my, that peach scene—Guadagnino was wise when he took a chance and left it in from the novel. It really works, and it’s perhaps the ultimate example of how masterfully the director manipulates and enlivens all of our senses. There’s a lushness to the visual beauty of this place, but it’s not so perfect as to be off-putting. Quite the opposite. Despite the director’s infamous eye for meticulous detail, cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom’s 35mm images provide a tactile quality that heightens the sensations, makes them feel almost primal. We see the wind gently rustling through the trees, or streaks of sunlight hitting Elio’s dark curls through an open bedroom window, and while it’s all subtly sensual, an inescapable tension is building underneath. Guadagnino establishes that raw, immediate energy from the very beginning through his use of music. The piano of contemporary classical composer John Adams’ intricate, insistent “Hallelujah Junction – 1st Movement” engages us during the elegant title sequence, while Sufjan Stevens’ plaintive, synthy “Visions of Gideon” during the film’s devastating final shot ends the film on an agonizingly sad note. You’ll want to stay all the way through the closing credits—that long, last image is so transfixing. I seriously don’t know how Chalamet pulled it off, but there is serious craft on display here. In between is Guadagnino’s inspired use of the Psychedelic Furs’ “Love My Way,” an iconic ’80s New Wave tune you’ve probably heard a million times before but will never hear the same way again. The first time he plays it, it’s at an outdoor disco where Oliver feels so moved by the bouncy, percussive beat that he can’t help but jump around to it and get lost in the music, lacking all sense of self-consciousness. Watching this towering figure just go for it on the dance floor in his Converse high-tops is a moment of pure joy, but it’s also as if a dam has broken within Elio, being so close to someone who’s feeling so free. The second time he plays it, toward the end of Oliver and Elio’s journey, it feels like the soundtrack to a time capsule as it recaptures a moment of seemingly endless emotional possibility. They know what they’ve found has to end—we know it has to end. But a beautiful monologue from the always excellent Stuhlbarg as Elio’s warmhearted and open-minded father softens the blow somewhat. It’s a perfectly calibrated scene in a film full of them, and it’s one of a million reasons why “Call Me By Your Name” is far and away the best movie of the year.
