Call Me By Your Name - Screenplay by André Aciman, James Ivory

the peach scene ruined this for me.
i'd be lying if i said the prose wasn't beautiful, but the way this was narrated made me feel like i was seeing the story unfold through a distorted glass window. the two characters' personalities depended a lot on their desire for each other (hundreds of pages of miscommunication could testament to this), so i found myself not really caring for these strangers. i also wish there had been more to the build-up of their relationship. instead, i felt as if i was tossed into this whirlwind of yearning—and the peach scene? i cried. (if you don't know what scene i'm talking about, then you're one lucky, lucky bean.)
