Disclaimer: This is my review of the Call Me By Your Name<\/em> through its film and script, not the book. Credit to authors and director mentioned below.<\/span><\/p>\n

The movie Call Me By Your Name<\/em> takes place in the Summer of 1983, “somewhere in Northern Italy.” Oliver is a foreign exchange student who comes to live and study under Professor Perlman for the summer. The professor’s son, Elio, is a young, bright boy who loves to dance kinda funny.<\/p>\n

The film follows the complicated relationship of Elio and Oliver who begin to bond incredulously. What begins as simple infatuation evolves into insatiable desire.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest things this movie shows is how stellar character interaction can be for ultimate audience satisfaction.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 It must be talked about! See? Elio agrees. \ud83d\ude42 <\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

For starters, Call Me By Your Name <\/em>does an incredible job at utilizing indirect dialogue. There are too many moments to keep track of, but perhaps one of the best to mention is when Elio is expressing to Oliver how he feels about him.<\/p>\n

Elio never just comes out and says, “I like you.” He talks to Oliver in a certain way where he beats around the bush with his language, and Oliver follows along talking in a similar fashion.<\/p>\n

It just makes sense. It’s the 80s and society was in a different place, especially with the topic of sexuality in public, as they are in during this conversation. It also keeps the audience figuring out the plot themselves rather than simply having it laid out for them. Here is the scene from the film.<\/p>\n
