Armie Hammer & Timothée Chalamet find love in Call Me By Your Name (2017)
southendmd:
Thank you, John, for posting all this! How wonderful.
I recently re-read the book while on vacation. I liked even better the second time.
It's such a first-person narrative, I wonder how it will translate to film. Is there a voice-over? So much of the story takes place in Elio's mind.
So, they "sort of" did the peach scene? I can't imagine how that will go...
Sad that the film is not set at the sea, as the novel is.
Later!

Yes, Paul, many changes--but I was so insanely in love with Luca Guadagnino's I Am Love (which was just as stylishly gorgeous as Tom Ford's A Single Man, if not more so), I'm completely happy!
FYI, there are at least snippets of the original (or one version of) James Ivory's screenplay on line--in which the main 1988 story (rather than Guadagnino's 1982-3 reset) was in winter.
Winter?? Hello? Not many swim trunks and flying shirttails in--Sicily?? Really? (Siicily in winter is COLD and DAMP.) Also--Oliver was to have been played by--Shia LaBeouf?? Oh Lord NO! Must have been in the same alternate reality in which Jack Twist was played by--Matt Damon. (Major compensation in that same alternate reality was Gore won in 2000 and Hilary won in 2016.)
Another change from the book: no further meetings between Elio and Oliver in later years; the movie is set in one summer only.
Anyway, counting the days for an Italian (Crema) Summer in November!
Later!

Fans of the book might be worried about the removal of the memorable peach scene from the novel. Even though Guadagnino called the scene “legendary” in the book, he was unsure if it would fit in the adaptation.
“[It] struck me so much as un-filmable, but also, I hate to be defined as coy,” he said. “I don’t want to be coy, shy or coward. So it was like, let’s take the bull by the horns and shoot it. They went for it “on a day that was endless because we were running late, [after we] shot 13 or 14 hours.”
