Call Me by Your Name: A Special Issue eBook

7R Call me by your name ebook

Take home our indispensable collectors' ebook on the film

In six pieces, we attempt to articulate what feels so ineffable about the film while watching, help you fall in love with the performances all over again by digging deep into the nuts and bolts of how they work, and illuminate why this film is an important addition to the queer cinema canon. You’ll want to read and re-read these pieces every time you watch the film — and whenever you wish you could be watching the film but can’t (on the bus, in a waiting room, etc.).

Keeping a straight face: How CMBYN‘s queer characters get misread

Call Me by Your Name is the latest in a long line of same-sex romances to have its queer characters diminished as empty vessels, yet this couldn’t be further from the truth. This essay is featured in the ebook Call Me by Your Name: A Special Issue which is available for purchase here.

Review: Call Me by Your Name is a gorgeous, erotic tale of first love

In Call Me By Your Name, which premiered at Sundance, Guadagnino captures what first love feels like, in all its fumbling, awkward, confusing, terrifying, joyous glory. The film features breakout performances from Timothée Chalamat and Armie Hammer as the pair of young lovers.
