[Commlist] Paperback book: Call Me by Your Name: Perspectives on the Film

Intellect is pleased to share that /Call Me by Your Name: Perspectives 
on the Film 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/call-me-by-your-name>/, edited by Edward 
Lamberti and Michael Williams, is now available in paperback.

Adapted by James Ivory from André Aciman’s novel and directed by Luca 
Guadagnino, the film /Call Me by Your Name/ has been enthusiastically 
embraced by both audiences and critics since its 2017 release.

A love story between 17-year-old Elio (Timothée Chalamet) and graduate 
student Oliver (Armie Hammer) and set in 1983 “somewhere in northern 
Italy,” /Call Me by Your Name/ presents a gay relationship in a romantic 
idyll seemingly untroubled by outside pressures, prejudices or tragedy. 
The film offers audiences welcome opportunities to swoon in front of an 
LGBTQ+ romance that equals classic heterosexual romances onscreen, with 
narrative, thematic and stylistic elements that resonate strongly with 
contemporary audiences' understanding of sexual identity. How does this 
love story explore wider tensions that exist between the open and the 
hidden, and between the past and the present? The contributors to the 
collection voice stimulating and contemplative responses to this question.
