The Guardian at Tiff 2017: cast and crew of Call Me by Your Name

In the first of three sessions from the Toronto film festival, the team behind acclaimed gay romance Call Me by Your Name - actors Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet, and director Luca Guadagnino - talk to the Guardian's Benjamin Lee

[@DemonDaria]

Luca is a great artist. This is the difference between European and American films: the first one is art, the second is a product. and you immediately feel it.

[@knightbirdkurt]

...and that is the difference between a film and a movie!

[@edensmith2330]

not just european films, but arthouse in general. for example Moonlight (2016) is definitely art.

[@weasley2o13]

I can give you a list of a hundred American masterpieces. Don't generalize please.

[@simonrey1136]

DebrisGrant i’m sure you don’t truly believe that american filmmakers are incapable of creating art.. naive

Call Me By Your Name isn't a "gay" romance. It's pure romance transcending all those labels and identities.

[@luanabarros7231]

Exactly it's just a film about pure love

[@onevas898]

Totally agree with this

[@eternamarcos2467]

Love that is not defined by gender but universal and all embracing only the feelings emotions of first love and hearbreak.

[@robinv388]

“Because Elio wants to but he doesn’t really know how to do it yet” was so accurate😂

[@felipeantonio777]

But surprisingly as it seems, it is Elio who took action, always. When Elio asks Oliver: "Why you didn't give me a sign?", Oliver replied: "I did, I did. Remember when we were playing volleyball and I touched you?" Wow, how could had Elio possibly perceived it was a demonstration of deep affection at all?

[@timmy9cmbyn739]

@@felipeantonio777 bcos oliver know in his mind that elio want him also.

[@BMWPorscheBMWPorsche]

@@felipeantonio777 It's simple, Oliver gave Elio a "hint", that he was, back then, starting to feel something special about Elio. Oliver wasn't tottaly sure of what he was feeling at the time, but knew It was attraction. That's how I see it.

[@CinqueTerre558]

Even if Elio & Oliver happen to be female characters, acting the same scene, the younger one will not “think” of “touching” as a sign a romantic feeling. Elio being so young, naive, confused & inexperienced about his feelings to an older same gender person would not think of the “shoulder touch” as a sign of Oliver’s feeling for him.

[@CinqueTerre558]

Even adults would NOT take that “touch” during volleyball as a sign of affection.

[@nn6404]

This film has absorbed me.

[@thomasthompson6378]

It's just the opposite, perhaps: you have absorbed the film.

[@sayangku9275]

can you imagine being luca, being in love with every person he has ever worked with

[@synthster7416]

But isn't it always like that though? Some artists usually get inspiration from love or infatuation, taking something raw and creating a fantasy out of it. It's only real in its context. He wouldn't necessarily be infatuated with the actors if he didn't already have an artistic purpose with it. I know from some experience.

[@shradhyar]

I have a strong feeling that Luca really ships Timmy and Armie.

[@HighPriestess11111]

Shradhya Rakshit i have a strong feeling he purposely chose them bc their personality and background matche elio's and oliver's. i love parallels. haha

[@omek6]

I had heard Armie and Timothée in other interviews, but it was really interesting to hear from Luca. It would be super fun to have a drink with any of these guys. But I really loved how Luca doesn't like picking actors from a screen test or an audition. It's so much more important what their actual personality is like. And Luca's dark humor...OMG. That guy is fantastic.

[@alfonsozacour7141]

Because Luca have the Eye of an artist...he does not have to make auditions. He sees and he choose.

[@CinqueTerre558]

Luca was correct when he said something like “Why ask artists to audition when they have already done 5, 9 movies?” Unless the director is looking for specialized talent, e.g., boxer, ballet dancer, etc. let the artist read the script by himself and talk about the role. Experienced director that he is, he’ll be able to gauge the artist’s understanding on how he’s going to portray that role.

[@vietaliano1104]

Not throwing any shade but Gosh! "Call Me By Your Name" has set the bar for movies about love (more specifically about homosexuality) so high that I'm afraid other movies that come after might not be as "deep" as this one! I have been thinking about it constantly! It's not some sort of "turn on" or "horny" feeling! It's just Pure Love! no conflicts, no tension, just Love! and the actors definitely did an incredible job! Love it! P/S: I'm no American nor British so please do excuse me guys if I write bad or sound bad! I tried! Grazie di cuore! xo.

[@arieldimla5118]

Tobias Tran same with me, I watched it last December and up to now, I'm still deep into it! It's a mixture of ❤️ and 💔 and joy and sadness. It made me feel a lot of things like no other movie has made me. I can go on and on but I'll stop from here...❤️💔😊😭

[@brooklynnyoung936]

I know this was like one year ago but I agree like when I watch other movies now I look for the same level of love and real ness as cmbyn

[@thomasthompson6378]

It's not really a film "about homosexuality;" rather, it's about the possibilities of love.

[@valep1202]

This is Armie's best version of the making out-scene rehearsal's story so far. His Luca's impression is priceless...

[@JT-cm9di]

I love how Armie telling the rehearsal story, I love how he tried to impersonate Luca, we can picture it like we are literally there, he is a good actor

[@shannonsmith2642]

[@alvinsantos4295]

Everything was so great but what stood out for me was when Luca was describing the Perlman family on how they are very welcoming of culture and how they speak different languages etc. I WANT THAT LIFE.

This interview just open a can full of worm -- The emotion in the eye of the character of ARMIE is what I find very, very intriguing and yet grounded, not many actors can deliver that, it is the sparkle that draws you into his character and feels that essence of being INLOVE and I felt that and thank you for reminding me how wonderful that feeling is .. that is how infectious your movie is..

I wish I could just clip what Armie said at the end about the making of this film being his big summer romance...I think that was one of the most articulate comments he (or Timothee for that matter) has made about the film and experience.

[@SaraAhmed-kk6ex]

Well you can now

[@kittentalons]

That's one of my favorite parts so far

[@contemporaryspectrumoperat9080]

this movie was the revelation of something very deep....it opened a chest of inner feelings and desires that many people have buried within themselves..it caused many to fall in love with these two guys experience...there is a danger though to these two actors because they had to become the characters, the act was so flawless that you felt the emotions long after the movie, and i am sure that they both would have a soul connection that will affect their lives.

[@humminbird6990]

I think they do.

[@eleanorjaya4706]

The emotions that I felt for this movie were incredible that it left my skin crawling. I absolutely loved it. The actors, the place it was filmed & the Italian summers in an Italian town. It bought me back to my Italian trips that I travelled in my 20’s & most of the scenes were replicas of mine only that I fell in love with an Italian boy. The secret meetings with him, the dancing scenes, swimming in lakes & I will never forget him escorting me to the train station & he couldn’t look back when I left. I couldn’t stop crying & I had wished Oliver would turn back. Then the last calls of me getting married in Australia. Sometimes I have wished that I had stayed with him & how my life would have been, because although I’m married with 2 beautiful children my heart always belonged to Italy. My roots were planted there, & those beautiful Italian summers

[@tomtriffid]

"It would be hard for me as an actor to have an experience as immersive as this one, because I was out there a month early, and sometimes you know when people speak a different language they say they assume a different personality in that language? And certainly that's true of me when I speak French. And, weirdly, just being in that town for three months, it like, I don't know, it grew on me and by the end I was a version of me I wasn't when I got there. And so to go back to New York after that was absolutely surreal and it's been a struggle to marry these divisions ever since." That's what Timothee says here, and I suspect it only matters when what you're creating is something that really strikes a chord very personally. In other words, doing what he had to do in a situation that was extremely challenging to him made all the difference in the creation of the art that became this film. He's right, of course.

[@tomtriffid]

"How often is it that the solution to the problem IS the problem -- and not the problem itself." I would submit that is one of the most profound comments any actor has ever made about the creation of art. It's a remarkable paradox, and my thanks go to Timothee Chalamet for bringing it to our attention.

Michael’s portrayal as the ideal, supportive father, and Amie and Timothée ‘s portrayals of Oliver and Elio outstanding and unforgettable!!!have listened to Armie read the novel and watched the movie in the theatre 11times...I just can’t get enough of everything about this story-elio & Oliver..timothee and armie..Italy landscape..the beauty of the story and the characters as they unfold..the unconditional love of the parents and the joys and sorrow of first love..sultry film...It’s as though they do such a beautiful job of inhabiting their characters and you feel as though their brilliant acting abilities bring those characters from the book into real life with such genuineness - I can’t wait for the sequel. I find some something different each time that I love when I watch it over and over again. Nothings ever hit me like this beautiful story as it unfolds on camera. You feel like you are right there in the scene somewhere on the corner watching it all unfold...gives me hope for love again.☮️❤️

[@eugenefrankmd5433]

The worldly, dfferentiated, multi-cultural and multi-religious, life experiences of Luca and Acimen, and the vulnerable expose of the actors feeding on those personal moments, the thoughts and feelings of these two men distilled from their rich lives, is a rare gift to me seeking the asymptotic in my quest for truth in my life...making rope from the twine of these men's thoughts, helps me pull my way through rough days...

[@rap.4937]

Director Luca... wow. This revelation in the interview is lowkey a diamond. I've been sucked into the well-developed world of novels and comics depicting same-sex love, I'm straight and the most average and normal person on the planet... so if I'm into movies and books, and I see Novels having themes of same-sex or yaoi 100x more gripping and lightyears ahead in plot and character development, why doesn't everyone read them? why can't everyone fall in love with these stories because they are DIAMONDS compared to 99% mainstream movies with hetero-characters in them. It's because 1. most people don't read novels 2. especially novels with traces of lgbt ~ which isn't really the point since a love story is a love story. Anyway, those handful novels and scripts that make it to the big screen are done so CLICHE, or underwhelmingly... it's either the cast is wrong.. like if they hire gay actors they tend to overact that sometimes it looks forced or heavy or greasy or unnatural, if they hire straight actors you can feel their need to act professional, some even overcompensate. Sometimes the "intent" is wrong... the look in the eyes.. CALL ME BY YOUR NAME should've bagged it at the Oscars, really.. it's a miracle that all the puzzle pieces fit together and Director Luca just explained how in this interview.

You know another ending... Elio goes to his room. Looks in the mirror and sees the bed in the reflection. The bed fades for focus on his face. Then the credits roll. You can see the blur of the bed off to his right. At the end Mafalda rings the bell, Elio's mother says him name, he dries his eyes and turns to leave. Focus on the bed and then black. It ended great but that would've been another.

I really hope there isn't a sequel. It could only diminish what came before it.

Thomas Thompson sorry, I'm late here but .. it won't if Luca makes the sequel. Watched all his films, he's brilliant.
