Call Me By Your Name - Screenplay by André Aciman, James Ivory
5.0
4.5 stars
I went into this story thinking it would be another novel about a teenage boy coming to terms with his sexuality and falling in love with someone he could only have for the summer. It turned out to be so much more. It became a story, first about desire and desperation, then about passion, then about happiness, and then it came together as a whole about memory - all that we remember and all that we forget, only to be reminded by those who lived in our memories.
The narrative was beautifully written and despite certain parts where one could not help but feel uncomfortable, it was a moving piece.
