Call me by your name (2017) screenplay by James Ivory
like one of the beautiful things about this film is that it was this little sundance hit that just snowballed into this critically acclaimed masterpiece. and timothee was just a small time actor enamoured by this hollywood superstar playing a horny boy enamoured by this adonis academic. and like now he’s become this breakthrough heartthrob and whilst i have no doubt he will find it easy to return to elio things will be different. but then that is the crux of the book, that people change but they also stay the same. the meaning of the river flowing……
funny you ask i was thinking about this yesterday. i would love a sequel but in 10 years time! right now it really feels like fan service / awards bait (the complete opposite of what the film originally was) and less of a passion project. they obviously all love the story/each other but i’d want the actors to go and spend some time away from the cmbyn hype and then come back together. i think it would just seem more authentic that way (to themselves and to the book) and there would be less pressure on them i dunno.
i dunno are there real Haters haters out there? people like to take the piss cos he is cringy as fuck but i don’t think people really hate him? i guess when people love someone as much as a lot of people love tim tam there’s also gonna be people who hate him too . but yes i agree he has literally never done anything wrong in his life
