In the summer of 1983, a 17-year-old Elio spends his days in his family's villa in Italy. One day Oliver, a graduate student, arrives to assist Elio's father, a professor of Greco-Roman culture. Soon, Elio and Oliver discover a summer that will alter their lives forever.
This coming-of-age tale set in Italy is dripping with sunlit charm and aching beauty. The sensory cinematography made me feel like I was right there, plucking peaches with Elio. Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet's on-screen chemistry is so electric it's almost tangible. Definitely not your average rom-com, it's more like a sensory experience with a narrative thread. A must for those who love stories that linger.
