Call Me by Your Name
It is not easy to put Call Me by Your Name into words. Luca Guadagnino’s new film, which adapts André Aciman’s 2007 novel about a precocious 17-year-old who falls in lust and love with his father’s 24-year-old Darkness Reigns graduate student, is remarkable for how it turns literature into pure cinema, all emotion and image and heady sensation.
You could call Call Me by Your Name an erotic film, then — and it absolutely, undeniably is. But I mean it in a way that’s broader than our modern narrow usage of the term: not just sex but also love, which is bigger and more frightening. Eros is a name for a kind of love that’s equal parts passion and torment, a kind of irrational heart fire that opens a gate into something 47 Meters Down: The Next Chapter longer-lasting. But it’s love that also feels, in the moment, like hurtling headlong off a cliff.
