Call Me By Your Name trailer – Armie Hammer leads the cast of romantic drama
Timothée Chalamet, Michael Stuhlbarg, Amira Casar and Esther Garrel make up the cast of the film, which is directed by celebrated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino.
Call Me By Your Name, the new film by Guadagnino, is a sensual and transcendent tale of first love, based on the acclaimed novel by André Aciman.
It’s the summer of 1983 in the north of Italy, and Elio Perlman (Timothée Chalamet), a precocious 17- year-old American-Italian boy, spends his days in his family’s 17th century villa transcribing and playing classical music, reading, and flirting with his friend Marzia (Esther Garrel). Elio enjoys a close relationship with his father (Michael Stuhlbarg), an eminent professor specializing in Greco-Roman culture, and his mother Annella (Amira Casar), a translator, who favor him with the fruits of high culture in a setting that overflows wit h natural delights. While Elio’s sophistication and intellectual gifts suggest he is already a fully-fledged adult, there is much that yet remains innocent and unformed about him, particularly about matters of the heart. One day, Oliver (Armie Hammer), a charming American scholar working on his doctorate, arrives as the annual summer intern tasked with helping Elio’s father. Amid the sun-drenched splendor of the setting, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.
James Ivory wrote the screenplay for the film, which is set to debut in cinemas Stateside from November 24th, and the U.K, slightly earlier on October 27th.
Early word is good. Our great friend Stefan Pape over at HeyUGuys says of the film: “The mood to this film is indelible, and in that regard there can be parallels drawn to Guadagnino’s preceding endeavour A Bigger Splash. But where that last film was style over substance, this one is rich in both, as not only do we have a beautiful landscape to immerse ourselves in, but an even more wondrous narrative playing out in front of it. What a treat.”
