Call Me By Your Name follows the story of a seventeen year old who on his path of discovering his sexuality is attracted to an older man hired as his father’s assistant. The story is delicate, poignant and almost like a slice of life. The screenplay here is also handled with utmost care and doesn’t make a big deal about it. The writing is such that it unfolds at a leisurely pace throughout in a very nuanced manner. So the proceedings flow naturally where nothing seems forced. Yes, a section of the audience might find it a bit drab and even the most major plot points are extremely mellowed down. The relationship between the two protagonists is handled delicately and with authenticity. Also, the situations that are created are quite poignant and heartfelt. The undercurrent of melancholy flows throughout culminating into an end which is really heartbreaking and painful but in a quiet manner. The entire screenplay seems quite organic with the way it is handled and a far cry from the misrepresentation of the LBGTQ community. Overall, a stunningly well written screenplay.
