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

5.0

“we had found the stars, you and i. and this is given once only.”

i’m writing this at 12:20 am, listening to sufjan stevens and fully covered in my own tears, so bear with me —

call me by your name is intoxicatingly beautiful and heartbreaking and captures the ache of longing and infatuation in some of the most candid and luminous prose i’ve ever come across. so!!!!! soft!!!!!! and!!!!!!!! magical!!!!!!!! nothing about elio and oliver’s relationship ever felt forced. it is written about with such feeling and tenderness that continuing to read becomes a maddening desire in its own right. it’s dreamy and enchanting and raw and introspective all at once. aciman captures true intimacy and attraction, masterfully so. occupies a special place in my heart and will continue to do so for a very very long time
