{"product_id":"9781789389425","title":"Call Me by Your Name : Perspectives on the Film by Michael Williams","description":"Adapted by?James Ivory from Andr? Aciman's novel and?directed by Luca Guadagnino, the film Call Me by Your Name?has been?passionately received among audiences and?critics ever since its 2017 release.    A love story between?seventeen-year-old Elio (Timoth?e Chalamet) and?graduate student Oliver (Armie Hammer) and set?in 1983 `Somewhere in northern Italy', Call Me by?Your Name presents a gay relationship in a?romantic idyll seemingly untroubled by outside?pressures, prejudices or tragedy. While this means?it offers audiences welcome opportunities to?swoon in front of an LGBTQ+ romance that equals?classic heterosexual romances onscreen, its?relevance or political significance today may not?be immediately apparent. And yet the film is?abundantly infused with narrative, thematic and?stylistic elements that can be interpreted as speaking?powerfully to contemporary audiences on questions of sexual identity.   This edited collection addresses how the film helps inform our?understanding of contemporary sexual identity and?romance. How does this love story explore wider?tensions that exist between the specific and the?general, between the open and the hidden, and?between the past and the present? The contributors to the collection explore these questions in stimulating and contemplative manners.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56306677973365,"sku":"9781789389425","price":109.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789389425.jpg?v=1762801609","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789389425","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
