Call Me By My Name is set on warm Italy backlots during the 1980s. Luca Guadagnino directed the sensual and emotional adaptation of André Aciman's novel of the same title, which starred Timothée Chalamet as Elio and Armie Hammer in supporting roles. The film is perfect, with richly sensual performances and atmospheric cinematography; the production scored an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Whispers are on about a sequel based on Aciman's follow-up novel Find Me, and fans seem to be waiting for a return to Elio's world.
