Call Me By Your Name

It is a summer Friday night here, but the temperature has dropped and it is raining outside which at least will parch the dried out garden, so I am not too unhappy.  It also means that I feel less guilty about parking myself on the couch, with a packet of sweets and a cool drink.  So after a few dreary tv shows it is time for a movie.

Call Me By Your Name is a movie set in 1983 in a small rural Italian setting.  Elio is 17, and is a bit put out when his fathers young 24 year old research assistant Oliver comes to stay for the summer taking over his room and charming all around him.  Slowly a love affair develops for the rest of summer.  Beautifully filmed this movie circles around the story about a slow summer love.  4/5
