“I remember everything.”
I remember everything. I couldn’t put this film into words if I tried. I couldn’t ever review this, or even explain how personal this felt to me. Every kiss, every movement, every laugh, every dance, every look, goodbye, embrace. If I could, I couldn’t even begin.
“I remember everything.”
“Is it better to speak or to die?” That’s the core question of “Call Me By Your Name,” which surfaces in a scene where a character reads the words of Marguerite of Navarre in “The Heptaméron,” but it’s an idea at the heart of all queer narratives. It’s been especially present in queer cinema, where muteness and survival are often the most bittersweet bedfellows. But “Call Me By Your Name” not only quotes Marguerite’s words, it suffuses them into every fiber of its being. It’s a great film because of how lucidly it poses her question, and an essential one because of how courageously it answers it.
Still believe this has one of (if not) the best end credits scene I have witnessed
Is this movie bad? God no. In fact the further I get from my viewing the more I like it. It's idyllic, beautiful, and anchored by two incredible lead performances. It's just a little too abstract and tangential with it's dialogue and story beats for me to fully commit to liking it. This is another one that I should definitely rewatch though.
It has a great narrative of heartbreak and the father’s monologue to Ellio was the best part of this movie to me with how much I related to it.
It is however incredibly elitist in the situation relating to Ellio’s life
Really liked this as a film due to both the beautiful cinematography and a same sex relationship. The lighting, colour and music was beautiful and this film has really touched me however the predatory age gap is quite frankly disgusting and it is surprising Hollywood gave this film the green light since there is no condemnation of a relationship between a 24 year old and a 17 year old seen whatsoever in this film. Had they upped the age of Elio to 18/19 this would not have been an issue yet this film does not quite sit right as a result.
"I don't want you to go"...
Il film più umano, romantico, luminoso, accogliente degli ultimi anni. L'ho aspettato per un anno intero,ma il momento in cui, uscendo dalla sala, ho realizzato di aver assistito a qualcosa di grandioso é valso tutta l'attesa. Assistire all'amore fra Elio e Oliver trasporta lo spettatore in una dimensione di elevazione emotiva. Tramite il pronunciamento del nome dell'altro, l'identificazione diventa consegna di sé, senza possesso o aridità.
CMBYN é stato recensito, analizzato, sviscerato, criticato. Ora é giusto lasciarlo per un po' lì, da solo, per poi riverlo ancora. E ancora.
The was absolutely the perfect movie to watch after a hot summer day of swimming in the lake.
