While we might be in the thick of blockbuster season, but soon every studio in town will be jockeying for Oscars, and one movie that’s already gaining quite a bit of heat is “Call Me By Your Name.” The breakout film of the Sundance Film Festival, Luca Guadagnino‘s drama tracks the romance between an older man and a teenager that unfolds over a picturesque summer, and it had everyone talking. Now, a new clip provides another peek at the film.
Armie Hammer and Timothee Chamalet lead the ’80s set film that revolves around an American scholar, and a teenager spending the season at his family’s Italian villa, who connect amongst their idyllic surroundings. And this new preview of the movie shows the tricky connection that begins to form between the pair, though it’s not without it’s unease. Here’s the synopsis from Sundance:
It’s the summer of 1983 in northern Italy, and Elio Perlman (Timothée Chalamet), a 17-year-old American-Italian boy, spends his days in his family’s seventeenth century villa lazily transcribing music and flirting with his friend Marzia. One day Oliver (Armie Hammer), a charming, 24-year-old American scholar working on his doctorate, arrives as the annual summer intern tasked with helping Elio’s father (Michael Stuhlbarg), an eminent professor specializing in Greco-Roman culture. Amid the sun-drenched splendor of this sensual setting, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will change their lives forever.
Co-starring Michael Stuhlbarg, Amira Casar, Esther Garrel, and Victoire Du Bois, “Call Me By Your Name” will open on November 24th.
