Luca Guadagnino | 'Call Me by Your Name' Press Conference | NYFF55

Call Me by Your Name, director Luca Guadagnino and screenwriter James Ivory’s tender adaptation of André Aciman's novel is one of the year’s cinematic sensations. In a press conference, the director discussed his favorite movie romances, the Maurice Pialat film that inspired him most, how musician Sufjan Stevens acts as a narrator in Call Me by Your Name, and more.
A story of summer love unlike any other, the sensual new film from the director of I Am Love, set in 1983, charts the slowly ripening romance between Elio (Timothée Chalamet), an American teen on the verge of discovering himself, and Oliver (Armie Hammer), the handsome older grad student whom his professor father (Michael Stuhlbarg) has invited to their vacation home in Northern Italy. Adapted from the wistful novel by André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name is Guadagnino’s most exquisitely rendered, visually restrained film, capturing with eloquence the confusion and longing of youth, anchored by a remarkable, star-making performance by Chalamet, always a nervy bundle of swagger and insecurity, contrasting with Hammer’s stoicism. A Sony Pictures Classics release. Special thanks to French Cultural Services.

I could listen to this man talk all day.

[@thanostsarbos1197]

I've seen all the interviews, Q&As and press conference videos from the festival screenings and I think I'm falling in love with Luca Guadagnino and his mind.

[@usernamemaybe]

Same here. He's such an interesting character and his vast knowledge and passion for his job really come across these talks. He'd make an awesome professor.

[@lumifish-DK]

What a fascinating man. Such a wise, intelligent and passionate man. The love for his art is so clear. I could listen to him speak forever.

[@wildbluemich]

Thank you luca with your perfect taste and non cliche honest point of view. Call me by your name is precious and exquisite and yet unique and intense. This movie is on the top of my list

[@lalitharavindran]

He would make a fantastic professor of cinema. Classical, honest, simple and charming.

[@yuzan3607]

He reminds me of my favorite professor who also was Italian but in Engineering.

[@diegopisfil614]

Underrated movie and underrated director

[@LAZISH]

Luca the mastermind!!!!!

[@EditingVideosAttractsKarma]

Luca comes across so well. So passionate and honest. But the interviewer on the other hand is dreadful

[@der22672]

This is the first time that he was interviewed without Armie and Timmie. Hope they will be interviewed together sometime at the New York Film Festival.

[@evelinamorgan4652]

0:11:37 On music in the film and Sufjan's collaboration

[@ernestoGLL]

11:55 what an excelent explanation by the director of the function and the use of the soundtrack in this movie

[@BelieveInImagination]

asks a question like he's bored and then looks impatient when Luca answers. Get a better interviewer next time.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

[@vesnabera]

Yes

[@danob3349]

Luca is so lovely and generous. Some good questions about costume design and also the ailments question..... Oliver's graze that Anchise attempted to soothe with witches brew.....

[@hannigraham5831]

Luca plz make "call me by you name 2" nah plz~

[@Flipper35802]

The use of the word "Queer" bothers me as much the "N" word. Luca Guadagnino is awesome tho

[@user-dq7cm6ug4h]

That's interesting, because I find that society is using the word queer more and more now, no?

[@haroonbaig2356]
