Directed by Pritan AmbroaseS9 • E70 May 2, 2020
There are films. Then there is cinema. 'Call Me By Your Name' is cinema. This film is exactly what cinemas/movie theatres were built for. The leads and their chemistry scorched its way from the screens into our hearts. The universe conspired to bring this film and every aspect of its magnificence to us. There were many years of delays to the script and the making of the film - and that was the universe's way of giving time for Armie Hammer, Timothée Chalamet, Luca Guadagnino, James Ivory, Michael Stuhlbarg to become available to create this magic potion which would definitely not have worked with a single puzzle piece missing. André Aciman's novel of the same name was given justice by this cinematic adaptation. The chemistry between Elio and Oliver is beyond scorching, but let's not forget the chemistry between the setting/mansion and the clandestine lovemaking, the chemistry between Crema's beautiful locales and the lovers' passion, the chemistry between Sufjan Stevens soundtrack and the lovers' gazes. From the start to finish, this movie is an intricate dance between Armie's Oliver and Timothée's Elio, or as accurately between Armie's Elio and Timothée's Oliver. This is an in-depth analysis and full commentary on the film's magic and the romance's power by host and Hollywood Insider's CEO Pritan Ambroase and guests Leena Siwa and Lisha Siwa. The trio take you on a journey within and on 'Call Me By Your Name' as they discuss why this piece of cinemas is as magnetic as it has proven to be.
