Set in northern Italy, “Call me by your name” chronicles the love story of 17 year old Elio and his father’s 24 year old student assistant, Oliver. Initially, Elio doesn’t like Oliver, but over the course of the summer he starts drawing towards him and we see young Elio trying to navigate through the feelings of desire, love and heart-break. Timothee Chalamet brings life to Elio, you can see his frustration, confusion and longing towards Oliver. Luca Guadagnino’s ending is different from the novel, yet it’s every bit heart breaking. Michael Stuhlbarg as Elio’s father is remarkable. Sufjan Stevens lends some beautiful tracks like “Mystery of love”,”Visions of Gideon”. The final scene is moving and leave you wanting for more.
