Ivory is a grump. I have heard a few interviews and he can be so negative. He was critical of some things Luca did in CMBYN and mentioned them in interviews. I just wish he would keep the negativity to himself. I agree. It's really ungracious and unprofessional of James Ivory to openly criticize Luca, especially since they collaborated for several years to get the film made and Luca holds Ivory in such high esteem. They both worked on the script but Luca gave Ivory sole credit which resulted in the long awaited Oscar win. James still seems disgruntled that his version of the film didn't get made even though it was his version that they couldn't get funding for. Luca pulled out a masterpiece on a tiny budget and got beautiful performances from the entire cast. Ivory should be showing professional courtesy to Luca from one director to another by keeping any criticisms or disagreements private.
As to what Luca achieved in this film from what André created, I completely believed in this world and wanted to live in it with those characters as if they were real people. In 1983, I was a 19 yo college student stumbling my way through life and trying to break free from strict, super conservative, religious parents. I would have died and gone to heaven if I had parents like the Perlmans. Watching this film, I practically fell in love with Elio's parents as much as Elio himself. They were progressive, educated, intellectual, cultured, polyglot, warm, loving and down-to-earth. Talk about dream parents! Maybe that's partly why this film hit me so hard. I really lived through the 1980's as a teen and young adult and this little world of the Perlman's represented my fantasy life.
Ivory just seems a bit bitter, and I don't get it. I know Luca changed some of the script, but they all created a masterpiece. And Ivory got his long-awaited Oscar - he was the only one who got one for this film. So I just wish he was a bit more grateful. But oh well. I think the movie made everyone want to go to Italy and Crema! It was just so idyllic and what an amazing summer, to fall in love. And yes, the Perlman's were amazing parents. I am fortunate, I have great parents too. But they were definitely so supportive and loving to Elio and there relationship with each other was beautiful. |

Well, straight from the horse's mouth, a book sequel is happening!

Although I'm still firmly on the side that a sequel is not necessary, I'm glad that Andre is taking control of the narrative by writing a sequel to the book, that way his original thoughts and feelings for the characters he created, will be the primary canvas for which Luca will derive a screenplay and script from. Whatever direction Andre decides that Elio and Oliver's lives will venture towards, I will respect. Anyone else's interpretations for where E and O go, without Andre's guidance, will not be something I would care to watch. So for all intents and purposes, I'm glad Andre put this all to rest and has confirmed that he will write the sequel to the beloved story he created.

A year has already passed since CMBYN was released but it's still slaying. Mystery of Love by Sufjan Stevens is nominated at the Grammys. I honestly thought that they snubbed it last year and it turned out it is only eligible this year. Super love that song. Hopefully, it wins even if the competition in the category is tough (All The Stars, Shallow and Remember Me).

Also the CMBYN soundtrack was nominated, so really 2 noms for CMBYN. It will be tough for Sufjan to win (I imagine "Shallow" will win as everyone seems crazy over Gaga this year). But so glad he was at least recognized! |

You people know how I feel about a sequel to CMBYN (nutshell, it's not necessary, CMBYN was perfect and doesn't need a sequel) and it looks like Armie may be preparing himself to become either the next Batman or be the Invisible Man, and there will not be room to play gay/bi confused Oliver again, especially if they are expect to go up a notch, or two, in the sexual scenes of a sequel. Once an actor enters the super hero world, risque roles like what he did with CMBYN fall way to the side.

I would like a sequel but can also live without one. Andre is writing a follow-up, so they'll at least be that. Some in the CMBYN fandom are already freaking out if there isn't one. I loved CMBYN but never got to the obsessed level.
I really wonder if it is true Armie is in contention for those 2 movies? Not sure whether to believe the rumors or not!

I think I became a Timothee fan through a different means than a lot of people. I first saw him do interviews online and on television this past year, fell in love with his personality and generosity, and then watched Beautiful Boy which I thought was so darn powerful. I wish it had gotten more awards love. I then went back and saw Call Me By Your Name. I loved the acting performances and setting as I am Italian and studied in Italy myself for a month. And I really enjoyed the realism of the story and how sexual awakening can be complex. But I will admit ... please dont kick me off the board since I know it is very popular ...Call Me by Your Name was not the type of movie that stayed with me or affected me emotionally like "Beautiful Boy" which hit me hard. I also had a few issues with elememts of the story. I dont think Call Me By Your Name needs a sequel as it was a self contained drama, but if a sequel gets made, I think the creators should wait at least 10 years for the actors to age more as it would be interesting to see them live in the 90s world and how life changed them. Dune is more my type of film but what can I say im such a space and fantasy nerd Haha.

I'm so giddy at the prospect that there might not be a sequel, I want to do the splits (if I could). But the evil lil' Simone side of me (see Smithers above) don't want a CMBYN2 so I can laugh at those who will have a meltdown. We're talking mayhem. I'm so excited, I feel tingly. LOL!  But in all seriousness, we won't know nothing for sure until Luca confirms he won't be directing it. Timmy and Armie need to be allowed to get on with their lives and their careers. CMBYN put them both on the map and there's no need to try to repeat that magical experience of CMBYN. Any future film will not be able to live up to that brilliance. |

I loved the movie very much, so much, I don't want, I mean, I don't need a sequel. Like you, Beautiful Boy resonated more to me because of a family member's addiction. I didn't know you're Italian and live in Italy! I'll be visit Crema next April/May. |

Whoa whoa quick clarification Haha. I identify myself as Italian American and part Greek too. But no I am born and bred in America and live on the East Coast. I wish I had a home in Italy though! I am so thrilled you are visiting Italy next year. My trip changed my life for the better. I enjoyed whatever I visited. I hope I go back some day!
