"There is no secret in this world. Falling in love with you is my only secret, and I only want to share it with you. What kind of longing can burn the soul so much; what kind of longing can sting every nerve ending. I want to get close, but I don't dare to get close; I want to push away, but I don't want to push it away. When the fierce flames wrap around the two, there is only hearts left in this world that are beating wildly with each other. I murmur to you: Please, Call Me By Your Name." Based on the novel of the same name by Andre Acimonte, "Call Me By Your Name" takes place on the Italian Riviera in the 1980s. The sudden love is like a beast running out of the forest, grabbing the body and heart of Elio, a 17-year-old boy. He fell in love with someone 10 years older than him, an American college student who had come to Italy to travel. The fascination, hesitation, and temptation of the two to each other made the lust burst out in the flow, and achieved a first love that only lasted for six weeks. It left a lifetime mark on the boys, because what they found on a sultry midsummer night was something they could never find again in this lifetime: complete, total intimacy. The 132-minute "Call Me By Your Name" premiered at Sundance and received a standing ovation from the audience, which is usually the treatment of a masterpiece. "The Hollywood Reporter", "Variety", "Indiewire" and other authoritative film media all issued full marks, "The Playlist even said the film, along with Morris and Brokeback Mountain, constituted the three peaks of gay cinema. "The Hollywood Reporter" commented that the film was a very successful literary adaptation, continuing the fidelity to the original from beginning to end, with Proust's poetic and father-like tenderness, and the performances of the two protagonists are full of spirituality. "It is precisely because of the high degree of restoration of details that it has become an unexpectedly deep well, reflecting the core of human feelings." "Variety" said that this is an intoxicating first love story. Armie Hammer and Timothy Chalamet sparks summer in Italy with a swipe. "Call Me By Your Name" is the most personal film ever made by Italian openly gay director Luca Guidanino. The script was co-written by Guidanino and another openly gay director, James Ivory. The 89-year-old James Ivory is a British national treasure. His "Howard Manor" and "A Room with a View" are all well-known masterpieces, but the most admired is 1987's "Morris" . E.M. Foster's literary masterpieces are perfectly presented in Ivory's hands. This time, "Please Call Me By Your Name" is also because Ivory is at the helm, which preserves the original style to the greatest extent. As soon as Hammer mentioned him at the Sundance press conference, applause broke out immediately, showing people's respect for the old man.
