About the book Call Me by Your Name: A Special Issue
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.).
