I watched this for a super special 100th episode of Subtextual Podcast: Congrats on 100, my beautiful podcasting fairy godmothers!

(https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/call-me-by-your-name-2017-100th-episode-extravaganza/id1597822346?i=1000670356160)

This was my first time watching this film. It wasn't quite what I expected. In some ways I feel like I was the last hold out on seeing this movie from the gay film canon! I am not the biggest fan of Timothee Chalamet nor the actual cannibal, Armie Hammer. This is a rich text as they say. The color palette is so lovely. I was first grabbed by my fav sculpture, the sleeping eros, being used in the opening credits. I was also intrigued by all the flies and how they often signify decay in art. I loved the line, "is it because they're gay or because they're ridiculous?" in regards to the gay family friends that come to visit. There's perhaps a bit of fleshing out the father's past history or at least hinting at his feelings of acceptance around homosexuality. I found the relationship between Ellio and his dad really interesting. They're very close and I was pretty caught off guard by how candidly they often talk to each other. I'm just glad that I'm not at the stage of where my emotions are so raw and impulsive. His speech at the end is quite moving, although I'm not convinced a parent would be all that supportive of their child hooking up with this older man. The age difference between Ellio and Oliver is weird but I think part of the point is that this is not meant to be a perfectly healthy relationship or a lasting one. I honestly expected it to be more predatory and was surprised by how respectful Oliver acts (in the beginning-granted he's got a fiance at home...) I think the takeaways from their flawed relationship of not living in shame of your identity (Oliver helps Ellio to also embrace his Jewish identity as well as his sexuality) is an important one. Repression just means you can't control the way the feelings you're repressing manifest. This comes to a boiling point with THE peach scene, which you can't be in the orbit of this film without knowing that there is a peach scene. Ellio has so much shame about lusting over this man and it drives him to use a peach as a stand-in for Oliver (the bruised peach himself as we see earlier in the film). When Oliver comes and really matches Ellio's freak (to quote the kids these days), Ellio breaks down. It's a powerful scene and shows radical acceptance of the thing you feel ashamed about, and also just Ellio's uncertainty about how he really feels about himself and sex. We've seen Ellio having such a lazy privileged summer where he's had ample room to do nothing but eat fruit, transcribe music, go out with his friends, and swim (insert, God I wish that were me meme here). I think peaches in general are really interesting in that each one has a pit and that enjoyment cannot last. Every rose has its thorn, every peach has its pit. The way that we see Oliver eat and drink throughout this movie is very telling of his character in contrast to Ellio (the eggs, the apricot juice, etc.). Oliver is Dionysus/Bacchus and Ellio is Apollo. During their time together they learn from each other and call each other by their own name, thus allowing their roles to reverse. Ellio is allowed to live in his temptations (Dionysus/Bacchus) and Oliver is learning more about music and art (Apollo). The phrase "Call Me By Your Name" also relates to the "our house is your house" statement from the mom and Ellio's comment, "my room is now your room." I also see it relating to the act of transcription i.e. identifying and naming notes. I think in a way Ellio transcribes himself anew during this film. At the heart of this lies a lot about bravery. Bravery in one's identity when you're missing community, and the bravery required to identify and call something by it's name, and then to be able to welcome in someone else with your own name. Call Me By Your Name is an invitation to communion and in a way gives a sense of completion (this is moreso in the sense of, in the search for oneself, and being able to see oneself in another, and less of, in a flawed, you complete me, kind of view). Call Me By Your Name has a lot to do with self-knowledge and closing the distance between someone else and yourself.

TLDR: My man Oliver got Ellio into 80's new wave and that's all that matters.
