Luca Guadagnino delves into the mind of a middle class family with his style and politically correct for this like!

In Italian cinemas from 25 January, Call me with your name It is the last work of the Italian filmmaker, but now living abroad, Luca Guadagnino, which premiered at the 67th Berlinale and has recently received four nominations at the Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay (scritta da James Ivory).

Adapted from the novel by André Aciman, the film – third installment of the trilogy of desire after I am the love (2009) e A bigger splash (2015) and set in 1983 – It tells the love story between Elio, seventeen year old resident of a village in Northern Italy and Oliver, young American student hosted during the summer by the boy's family. It will not be easy for both themselves and discover even more difficult in itself will, at the end of the holiday, break up with.

Hailed by Italian critics and international, regarded by the likes of filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson one of the best films of the 2017, Call me with your name It has all the credentials to make history. At least on paper. Nothing to say, indeed, on directing, as well as the poetic and evocative atmospheres that rebuilt, thanks to the skill of the performers and, not least, an engaging musical score, they immediately to make inroads in the heart of the viewer and to make himself feel part of the history. The feelings of the two young, for their part, They are staged in a discreet and gentle manner, as if to recall some of the Nouvelle Vague works.

But then, with such premises, What is it that a movie like Call me with your name just it does not seem to go down? maybe, paradoxically, it is the director's view. no mistake, from the point of view of staging in itself we are talking about a faultless film. The impression one gets – also, and especially, in light of what a filmmaker as he drove past Guadagnino – It is that the author is a little’ too detached from what is turning, almost as if it were important to celebrate itself as the great master, but without really getting to the heart of the story. This is demonstrated, just to name a few, the first and extreme close-ups too emphatic – and also quite free – the two protagonists, as well as wide shots that show us the summer landscape and fixed linger even after the characters have left the scene, while there is a real need.

and yet, nevertheless, the packaging of the product itself is managed and how. It seems to be so many who have noticed. In fact, Call me with your name It is a feature alone has several interesting ideas. We just have to wait and see if the Academy deems worthy of some statue.
