Director Luca Guadagnino explores coming-of-age and gay attraction in earlier, less-open times in Italy, in Call Me By Your Name. The film is the third in the Italian director’s “Desire” trilogy, following 2009’s I Am Love and 2015’s A Bigger Splash. Once again, Guadagnino explores passion in a beautiful Mediterranean setting.
Call Me By Your Name takes place in the summer of 1983 in scenic Lombardy, Italy, where 17-year-old American Elio Perlman (French actor Timothee Chalamet). Like all teens, he thinks of the tiny town where his family lives as impossibly dull, even though he and his parents (Michael Stuhlbarg and Amira Casar) live in a 17th-century villa in an idyllic setting. His archaeology professor father always has a graduate student as a summer intern who lives with them.
