Timmy pointing out Armie being 6'5" and saying you just want to climb him might be my favorite part of any interview I've seen about this film and I've seen a lot.

[@Angelface-zp3fk]

23:53 about the necklace in his mouth he was so proud that he had that idea and that Luca liked it his smile was so big precioussssss

[@SMaryG]

Love the story of Mafalda! It's the first time someone asks about her and it was fun to get to hear of the casting of minor characters. Can't wait to see her in Suspiria now :D

[@ellemariea2620]

soooo true !!! 💗

[@Metallichick20]

"...we were really kinda getting into it...it was kinda getting a little steamy..." OKAAAAAAAYYY THAT'S FINE

[@TraceyTBVD]

Haha yeah I love how he goes I can't tell it like Armie. I like your version just fine Timothée

[@soozimay]

@@TraceyTBVD Ha yeah, I like Timmy's version more than Armie's!

[@catherinecolwell8939]

God damn I love Luca, could listen to him talk about his process forever

[@rebeccapap9569]

How Timothee just hugs someone in the audience at 27:01 made me smile so much....already thought i could click on the next video but nooope

[@sweetsweetie840]

he is literally amazing person!

[@ianlovesmickey9658]

I'm glad this movie got made by Luce as it's a very beautifully acted by both Timothee, Armie,Michael and the rest of the cast. Timmy's recalling his rehearsal making out scene and Armie's dancing scene is a joy. Good Q&A.

[@truthispresent100sinclair2]

Yes... Luca the Genius knew it would take more than acting to bring Oliver and Elio to life.. He knew it would take time and that time have a way of showing us a side of us that we never knew existed... Do you know why we love this movie so much? Why is has hit us so hard.. This is not our first love story of heart break.. So please tell me why you think we love Oliver and Elio love story 💕 💕

[@Angelface-zp3fk]

I swear, does anyone else notice how much Timothee drinks water like anytime anywhere? I find it amusing he always has a water bottle or is sipping on water!! Just a thought! Love him!

[@davidthaler7018]

Timothee's been jetting all over the place promoting the movie and we all know that the air on planes is very dry. At each of his destinations, he's been doing interviews and panel discussions and making acceptance speeches; it's no wonder he needs to rehydrate.

[@Historyrhymezz]

Maybe due to nervosity, I can't let go of water in my case

[@neermalan.9815]

it probably plays a role in how clear his skin is. love him ❤️

[@adelarge]

We love a hydrated king

[@nirbhikasachdev3373]

That's his skincare routine

[@soozimay]

Gregory Ellwood's questions make this interview one of *THE BEST* I've seen, thanks! Loved hearing Luca's story on Mafalda, Timmy's version of the "steamy" first rehearsal 😍 and Armie's director credit for the monument scene. I'd love a series of short films revealing more on each character and their thoughts, so Anchise & Mafalda, Marzia & Chiara, the Perlmans and of course Oliver! ❤️

[@revesmouvants]

i really appreciated hearing the questions/answers about actual *filmmaking*. i mean, yes, people online are thirsty to hear stories from/about the (admittedly gorgeous) actors who brought these characters to life, but it’s all luca and his vision, supported by the cast and crew, along with james ivory, and it seemed that the audience here *got* that! edited to add: i always like hearing the story of the “monument” scene. it seems crazy that armie hammer was the one who suggested it be done in one take, but there you go..good on him! it was absolutely the right call! but getting the timing right and the *blocking*... and to think it was done at such short notice... and it’s perfect! it’s THE pivotal scene, and it’s utterly brilliant, which is a testament to the talent and skill of everyone involved!

[@xz9376]

Love of celebration, love without shame.

[@louieadam251]

I believe all characters involve in the story are all significant, Mafalda is one of those. This is not only love story between two young people but a family story, so who ever lives in the house share the part of the film. I love each character of the book and the actors who play in the film version. They are all great. Timothy and Michael are so exceptional in their roles.

[@london8615]

So true

[@rain74925]

"...not sure how to express your first love, particularly with Oliver/Armie 6'5" you just wanted to crawl all over..." now this almost sounds like Timmy deliberately in a subtle way blurred the line between fiction and reality there. The "slash Armie" part really wasn't necessary in the statement there. Hmmm, Timmy.

[@ameliebuchan7665]

Minutes???

[@racyrowdyrocket]

Some people can read people, and some people can't. Most people can't. They fall for the narrative put in front on them. And then when cracks are showing they still ignore them cuz they are emotionally unintelligent. I say good for him though cuz i wouldn't want him talking any other way. It gives me life. And hope.

[@sweetsweetie840]

21:29 - Timmy

[@ludovicaderosa8268]

How can I love a person that much?!?!

[@revesmouvants]

luca, on elio having a fly buzzing around him even in winter (because it was filmed in summer and flies were *everywhere*): “i like the idea that this is the last fly of the summer”. 😆❤️ as an artist, you have a vision, and when unexpected or uncontrollable things happen, it’s funny/cool how you just can just sit back, ponder upon it, and say, “huh... that actually makes it more meaningful”, and integrate that “imperfection” into the narrative. i think of marcel duchamp’s masterpiece, “the bride stripped bare by her bachelors, even”/“la mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même”. during transport, the glass panels were broken, but the crazed glass ended up becoming an integral part of the work and now people can’t imagine it any other way!

[@judithsokolowski7998]

I love this! I wish I would have been there for this at the Landmark theater!

[@franciscopcoutinho]

12:45 That's me asking Luca if I could come work for him. After the Q&A I went up to him and handed a resumé and cover letter. Waiting to hear back!

[@grechen9518]

17:42 😳 Timmy

[@chantal_lea]

Ugh.. ikr 😍

[@surferwanderer]

the sound for this video is nice i can hear both the ones on stage and the audience

[@ciara1714]

Ok but is noone gonna talk about his hair😍😭

[@SH-op9hc]

Luca's head be shining 😍

[@usernamemaybe]

@@SH-op9hc was about to comment the same 👁👄👁

[@lucasss725]

I wish i was mafalda damn

[@lempickavb3476]

Such an interesting interview, thank you for sharing 🙏

[@3eggsinthemorning]

I wish Timmy also had answered for the question at 17:55 :(

[@vesnabera]

Me too

[@hansakaerandaranasinghe6455]

so we need to watch "call me by your name" part 2 it's coming?

[@MikhaoMehrin22]

My OCD is kicking seeing this interview chair what's the bottle holder thing? I want one in my University tbh Specifically on exam time it'll be a good help

[@rolanddoucet9437]

Early in the film, Elio is seen shaving on his upper lip. What was the idea behind that scene?

[@simonweisz1161]

he just wants to look nice for Oliver. And, correct me if I'm wrong, Oliver doesn't come to dinner.

[@heatherbukowski2102]

@@simonweisz1161 Yep. And then Elio whines at the table like the little bottom brat he is.

[@saintsegar4224]

Can anybody explain to me what are those scenes in like negative warmth-like filter playing while their both on bed before the train scene?? Are those Elio’s memories while their in their trip or are those just dreams??

[@wardf727]

David John I think Luca said it was a scene from the book that they weren’t going to use (where they climb on the monument) and so instead it is supposed to be Elio dreaming about being with Oliver forever. *edit* I just found the podcast - ‘Timothée Chalamet at Curzon film podcast q&a’ at 24’38 :)

[@saintsegar4224]

April w Actually I already knew the answer to it by now. I’ve watched interviews where they talked about it. Thank you anyway. Not sure if you know this already but there’s a video of their interview at Curzon.

[@user-om5xb5jy3z]

❤❤❤❤

[@gypsy10]

I know I'm a year late commenting on all these videos of Tim. But, what the hell. I've seen him before in movie trailers, but never really paid much attention to him-- although I KNEW he's a BEAUTIFUL/Good looking guy. Until, I seen that movie CMBYN and went, Wow! I really like this boy. He's some good eye-candy🍬🍭 a excellent actor and very talented. Even his rapping and Stage presence performing is damn good👍. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Anyway, if I was sitting in the front row in that audience, I'll walk up there.... take Timothee's water bottle and drink from it (lips fully on it, touching where his mouth was/lick😛 around the open) at least once or twice, and save the bottle🤗!

[@catherinecolwell8939]

Mel C I feel you. I was barely aware of him, and didn’t REALLY see him until this movie, then I couldn’t understand how he flew under my radar for so long

[@kurkindal1234]

His interview skills aren't that great. It seems like he is asking, but not listening to responses.

[@HimanshuSharma-oy9ss]

'Word of mouth' , what does it mean ?

[@laiskas01]

It means a message is transmitted by people talking about it. So you get to know about something because somebody told you, not because there was an official announcement.

[@HimanshuSharma-oy9ss]

Thank you, appreciate it.👍

[@jaredv520]

As cute as the story of the first rehearsal is, it's starting to get old. There's so many other things to talk about. Like the info about Mafalda's casting.

[@heyworldchannel]

at least we have a new word here - *steamy* ))
