Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017) by Kevin A — 28 Dec 2017

Luca Guadagnino is the poet of idle sexuality. His A Bigger Splash captured the sadness and tragedy of lost love while barely raising its pulse above that of the luxurious, idyllic location, a beachfront European coast where clocks don't seem to exist.

Yes, that film has a tragedy in it that drives the engine of the plot but Guadagnino's interest lies not with exploring that tragedy but in lingering within the lives of people whose path is toward tragedy, but not a journey defined by that tragedy.
