Description
💕 WELCOME TO THE SUMMER OF LOVE — REVIEWING THE BEST ROMANCES OF THE 21ST CENTURY💕
In this episode of Midday Movies, Laura and Stephen are discussing the 2017 instant romance classic, “Call Me By Your Name.” Starring Timothee Chalamet in his breakout role and with a script adapted by James Ivory (and for which he won the Oscar), this film follows a 6-week summer romance in Italy between 17 year old Elio and a 24 year old doctoral student staying with Elio’s family. Sensual and scored with longing by Sufjan Stevens, this film reveals a timeless emotional message through the medium of doomed age-gap love in an Italy on the precipice of a new era. Let’s get into it!
