Call Me By Your Name (2017)
Luca Guadagnino’s captivating evocation of first love and sexual awakening (here gay, but also universal) demonstrated, among many other things, the succulent possibilities of a ripe peach most viewers had never even dreamed of.
The intimacy between Timothée Chalamet’s Elio, 17, and his father’s grad student assistant, played by Armie Hammer, is implied and suggested rather than explicitly shown–almost until the end.
But tension arising from desire infuses the air between them, and each and every counter, even when they are riding their bikes.
There are many sensual scenes, one of which show Elio weaving his way onto a dance floor to The Psychedelic Furs’ “Love My Way.”
