CALL ME BY YOUR NAME Trailer
Early festival praise can be misleading, but it’s hard to imagine the adoration bestowed upon Call Me by Your Name being misplaced. The wistful trailer promises young love in a beautiful place, a reverie most people would be glad to slip into for a couple hours.
And who better to take us on this trip than director Luca Guadagnino, who has been mining similar territory with A Bigger Splash and I Am Love. Considering he’s a master of the sensual, I’m already sold on Call Me By Your Name, but there’s plenty more reasons to get on the hype train.
Most will be familiar with co-star Armie Hammer, but his spotty attempts at being a leading man make people forget about his successes. Sure, The Lone Ranger was an epic misfire, but he’s had flashes of brilliance in projects like The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and The Social Network. His charm will likely be put to good use here, and the younger Timothée Chalamet showed a subtle handle on infatuation in Miss Stevens. They’re a solid pair to build the film around, and it’s clear that sparks fly between them even in this trailer.
Based off the acclaimed book of the same name by André Aciman and adapted by seasoned veteran James Ivory, it’s hard to find any weak point to Call Me By Your Name. So give in and get excited for what looks to be one of the strongest films of the upcoming awards season.
Call Me By Your Name is directed by Luca Guadagnino and stars Armie Hammer, Timothée Chalamet, and Michael Stuhlbarg. It will be released in the U.K. on October 27th, 2017 and in the U.S. on November 24th, 2017. For international release dates, click here.
