Description

It's the summer of 1983 in Italy, and Elio, a precocious 17-year-old, spends his days in his family's villa transcribing and playing classical music, reading and flirting with his friend Marzia. One day, Oliver, a charming American scholar arrives as the annual summer intern tasked with helping Elio's father, an eminent professor. Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.

Pretty North Italian scenery. Either Merchant or Ivory was associated with this movie, so you can bet it's not fast-paced. But ultimately the message was that it's nice to be rich and staying in lovely northern Italy over the summer while drinking delicious apricot nectar. It was a period piece of a modern sort, so there were tape decks and a walkman hanging around in the lovely house where the privileged people stay.

Elio Perlman, un joven de 17 años, pasa el cálido y soleado verano de 1983 en la casa de campo de sus padres en el norte de Italia. Se pasa el tiempo holgazaneando, escuchando música, leyendo libros y nadando hasta que un día el nuevo ayudante americano de su padre llega a la gran villa. Oliver es encantador y, como Elio, tiene raíces judías; también es joven, seguro de sí mismo y atractivo. Al principio Elio se muestra algo frío y distante hacia el joven, pero pronto ambos empiezan a salir juntos de excursión y, conforme el verano avanza, la atracción mutua de la pareja se hace más intensa.

L'incontro tra due ragazzi, Elio, un adolescente sensibile e istruito, e Oliver, un ventiquattrenne spontaneo, affascinante e pieno di vita, segna l'inizio di un'estate indimenticabile.
Estate 1983, tra le province di Brescia e Bergamo, Elio Perlman, un diciassettene italoamericano di origine ebraica, vive con i genitori nella loro villa del XVII secolo. Un giorno li raggiunge Oliver, uno studente ventiquattrenne che sta lavorando al dottorato con il padre di Elio, docente universitario. Elio viene immediatamente attratto da questa presenza che si trasformerà in un rapporto che cambierà profondamente la vita del ragazzo. (fonte: Mymovies)

To describe this as one of the year’s most pleasurable movies, in short, may be less a matter of critical insight than of simple observation.

An exquisite romance, a nuanced coming-of-age tale and a perfect portrait of an Italian summer...
