In 1980s Italy, a relationship begins between seventeen-year-old teenage Elio and the older adult man hired as his father's research assistant.
(* Our Score)
"Call Me by Your Name," directed by Luca Guadagnino, is a coming-of-age story set in the sun-drenched Italian summer of 1983. It charts the intense, fleeting first love between 17-year-old Elio and the American graduate student Oliver. While the film’s deliberate pace might not suit all viewers, its profound emotional impact is undeniable. The narrative culminates in one of cinema’s most important and moving parental counsels: a clear message from Elio’s father that we must have the courage to live a passionate life and embrace love fully, even when it results in pain and heartbreak. To feel nothing, so as not to feel anything, would be a "waste." This message about the value of deep human connection and vulnerability is the film’s timeless, universal heart.
