Are you emotionally moved even to tears by a film?
It is over five years now, since CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, hit cinemas world wide and became a sensational and unexpected overwhelming success, garnering a host of awards. Beautiful in so many ways.Those of you who have seen it will have your own memories, and of particular scenes. No matter how I prepare myself for the final scene, I still break down and the tears flow. It has been called a masterpiece and rightly so. Everything is perfection. Maestro Guadagnino has created a film that will endure for many years to come. Timthee Chalamet, Armie Hammer, who became close friends and are still close. Michael Stuhlbarg in the role of Elio's Father. And of course James Ivory's wonderful screenplay. A film to treasure as I do. I mentioned the film to colleagues in the bookshop where I work, and two people's eyes immediately filled with tears. It has lost nothing of its effect and impact on people, a testament to a beautiful story beautifully filmed.
