these two bisexuals that look like they just stumbled out of their first vampire weekend concert really had the nerve to make me lay on my floor & cry while listening to sufjan stevens huh
one of my cinematic pet peeves is when a character's reaction to a nosebleed is to tilt their heads back instead of forward. speaking as a frequent nose-bleeder, NO!!!! do NOT do that!!!! that's how you swallow blood clots, you AMATEURS. you nosebleed DILETTANTES.
what i'm getting at is this: when elio's nose starts bleeding and he leans forward ...... BRILLIANT! exactly what you're supposed to do! and there's even an added bonus of his going to find ice to constrict the blood vessels. they didn't need to add that but they did. i'm endlessly appreciative of instructional scenes such as this one, as they help to offset all the grossly inaccurate nosebleed depictions we've been inundated with. thank you luca guadagnino for your public health service
“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.”
me: hey i think im getting over cmbyn?
cmbyn: [walks over to my bedroom door then proceeds to give me a blow job] well that's promising. you're hard again. good [closes the door]
I don’t think there’s anything more beautiful, real, or brutal than the way Elio repeats, “Because I wanted you to know.”
Because I wanted you to know.
Loving someone is hard, whether it’s the butterflies you get in the beginning or the weight of the world you feel towards the end. I’ve realized through my relationship that love doesn’t make sense, and with my now 9 viewings of this film, that this movie doesn’t make sense to me either. I truly don’t understand, I could never understand, how Luca, Ivory, and the cast pulled this off. The feeling of love is so hard to replicate because everyone experiences it differently, but there’s something so universal about the looks Elio’s parents…
Sign me up as the apostate that just doesn't appreciate this one, that doesn't really understand why a long, rambling, sleepy movie about a disconnected, disaffected, insanely rich and privileged teenager moping around until he gets laid is so moving to people. There are better romances, better gay coming-of-age movies, better summer-fling stories, and movies where I don't get really really distracted by watching a dude gut a peach in his bed with his bare hands and then fuck it, making an immense mess for someone else to clean up. I will fight the world on this one.
“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.
absolutely loved the summer vacation vibe and sufjan stevens fits so well with this film
ben mi duygusuzum yoksa bu gercekten dummduz bi ask filmi mi??? filmin atmosferi cok huzurlu ve armie hammer goz doyuruyo puani da oraya verdim onun disinda overrated olduguna yemin edebilirim ama cok korkuyorum bu yorumu paylasmaya. Neyse kim gorcek devam😁😁✌🏻✌🏻
Lotta love for Mr Perlman and Marzia I love them so so much. As for the movie, it was beautifully shot and written however the notes of predatory behaviour left a sour taste in my mouth. Not to mention the recent cluster Mr Hammer has found himself in...
So wünscht man sich, später als Elternteil seinem Kind gegenüberzustehen, wenn es um die Frage der Sexualität geht. Was für eine Szene.
Schön geführt und geschossen. Ich hatte sofort Lust auf einen heißen Sommerurlaub in Italien.
It’s hard to put into words how spectacular this movie is. The writing, the cinematography, the acting everything. It was amazing. Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet had great on screen chemistry and genuinely made me believe they were madly in love with each other. I would definitely say this is one of the best movies of the 21st century.
Si ese último plano no los hace enamorarse de Timothée Chalamet, no sé qué lo hará.
