For his fifth (excluding documentaries) feature-length directorial effort, director Luca Guadagnino turns his eye to helming an adaptation of the novel
Call Me By Your Name (penned by James Ivory) into a motion picture of the same name. Taking place in Guadagino's home country of Italy, this novel is all about the story of Elio Perlman (Timothee Chalamet), a 17-year-old who finds himself living in a luxurious house owned by his kindly father, Mr. Perlamn (Michael Stuhlbarg), but also struck by boredom as he waits for the summer days to run out and grapples with a local tendency for people to hide who they are (his mom hides their families Jewish heritage while a girl Elio talks to frequently says she veils her love for literature). The introduction of a new houseguest in the form of his dad's former student Oliver (Armie Hammer) only seems to add irritation to Elio's summer since he and Oliver don't get along at first.
