Italian Apricot


Call Me by Your Name (2017)

Directed by Luca Guadagnino this film based on the novel of the same name stars Timothee Chalamet and Armie Hammer. In Italy in 1983 a 17 year old boy explores his sexuality over the summer vacation and experiences romantic love for the first time.

Certainly this film captures something of summer holidays and coming of age experiences, that is beyond question. For some the plot is going to be just a little too gentle and maybe a bit too much of an upper class fantasy. In general this is a really well made film with some stunning shots of Northern Italy.

4/5
