Call Me by Your Name

In the summer of 1983 an American graduate student comes to stay at a professor’s house in northern Italy, and the professor’s seventeen-year-old son spends the weeks circling him. Guadagnino lets the summer be peaches, a bike, and a town square. Timothée Chalamet plays Elio’s impatience. Armie Hammer’s Oliver is older and knows it. Michael Stuhlbarg’s father gets the film’s one long piece of advice. The Sony Pictures Classics trailer is the pool. The last shot is a fire and a face that does not cut away.
