Richard Brody [@tnyfrontrow] is spot on about Call Me by Your Name (2017) for The New Yorker

Some Tweeting about Call Me by Your Name (2017) - which #UCFF did not have the will to watch much of*...






Armie Hammer (Oliver) and Timothée Chalamet (Elio), after Elio has taken him on a cycle-ride to town for the bank (a town that Oliver already seems to know pretty well... ?)


End-notes :

* Walking out of the film after around 30-35 minutes was a gut feeling that it was set in its path, and one that Richard Brody's review for The New Yorker well puts, for #UCFF, into words : The elision of the characters’ mental lives renders “Call Me by Your Name” thin and empty, renders it sluggish ; the languid pace of physical action is matched by the languid pace of ideas, and the result is an enervating emptiness.







Unless stated otherwise, all films reviewed were screened at Festival Central (Arts Picturehouse, Cambridge)
