Call Me by Your Name 4K 2017

- the phrase is not mine, but it is memorable. First love is probably never easy. Especially when nature has arranged it so that your first love is the same sex as you. And understanding and loving parents at such a time is a gift from fate. Romantic, well-read, and creative young man Elio is definitely lucky to have parents.

Armie Hammer and Timothy Chalamet play love so poignantly that one forgets how such relationships are frowned upon by society. You forget that these are two men, but you can see that they are two people in love. Timothy Chalamet gives off a huge range of emotions for such a young actor (and yes, I haven't watched anything with him before, yes, not even Dune, honest! I'll watch it now).

All this against the backdrop of 'somewhere in Italy', bursting with sunny bliss and greenery, filled with flowing water and fruit trees, where the quiet streets of old towns, ivy-covered century-old family houses with wooden sunshades, bicycles, shorts and shirts unbuttoned at the chest. Certainly a beautiful summer picture, emphasizing the transience of feeling as much as the transience of summer. Which melted away just in time for Christmas. But it will surely never be forgotten by any of the characters.
