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. Guadagnino talked with us about capturing the spatial relations of his characters, his definition of cinema, and the joy of getting a slot at the New York Film Festival. Then, in a press conference, he 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.
Tonight, October 4, at 7pm, don’t miss our free NYFF Live discussion on the making of Call Me by Your Name with Guadagnino, Armie Hammer, and Michael Stuhlbarg at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Ampitheater. Can’t make it? Tune in live on our Facebook page.
