Call Me by Your Name

Set in the sultry summer of 1983, Luca Guadagnino's "Call Me by Your Name" captures the incandescent romance between 17-year-old Elio, the precocious son of a professor in Italy, and Oliver, a visiting graduate student. As Oliver arrives at Elio's family villa to assist his father, their initial camaraderie blossoms into a passionate affair, one that is as transformative as it is fleeting. The film's languid pacing and sumptuous visuals mirror the characters' awakening and the transient nature of their connection.
