Research & Inspiration

PHOTOGRAPHY:

FILMS:

I recently watched Luca Guadagnino's Call Me By Your Name and was moved by Guadagnino's use of cinematic parallels, which is shown perfectly in the video below. CMBYN was filmed entirely on a 35mm lens on a Arricam LT with Cooke S4 Lenses.

Another scene I sincerely enjoyed was the "Dance Scene" in what I believe is the second act where Elio, Oliver, and friends are attending a disco. It begins with Elio joining the others with a drink and a cigarette and watching Oliver dance. It intimately captures Elio's gaze cast in the direction of Oliver, this is shown by the way the scene cuts between the two, slowly closing in on elio's eyes. At first, Elio hangs back, puffing on a cigarette and gazing, intrigued, at Oliver. He smiles, then joins the group. There a line spoken by the first band playing in the background during this scene as diegetic sound. The song is by Joe Esposito, which adheres to the Italian setting and the year of 1983, the lyrics that stand out are "let me touch that part of you if you want me to", as Elio directs his intense stare at Oliver. This leads into the DJ changing the song to Love my way, by the Psychadelic Furs which an incredibly considered by the director as the song is about sexuality, further adding to the narrative of the movie. Elio decided to join during this song, dancing to the music. The music itself, the only thing in that moment which connects the two young men, whose romantic feelings for one another unfurl over the course of movie. I find it really interesting how the only words Elio utters here are "I'll come later", which feels metaphorically intentional due to events later in the movie.
