It is based on the 2007 novel of the same name by André Aciman, and is the final installment in Guadagnino 's thematic `` Desire '' trilogy, after I Am Love ( 2009 ) and A Bigger Splash ( 2015 ). Set in northern Italy in 1983, Call Me by Your Name chronicles a romantic relationship between 17 - year - old Elio Perlman ( Timothée Chalamet ) and his professor father 's 24 - year - old graduate - student assistant, Oliver ( Armie Hammer ). The film also stars Michael Stuhlbarg, Amira Casar, Esther Garrel, and Victoire Du Bois. The film began development in 2007 when producers Peter Spears and Howard Rosenman optioned the screen rights to Aciman 's novel. James Ivory was initially set to co-direct the film but became the screenwriter and co-producer. Guadagnino joined the project as a location consultant and eventually became director and co-producer. The film was financed by several international companies, and principal photography mainly took place in Crema, Italy, in May and June 2016. Cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom shot the film on 35 - mm film. Call Me by Your Name was chosen for distribution by Sony Pictures Classics before its world premiere at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2017. It began a limited release in the United States on November 24, 2017, and went to general release on January 19, 2018. The film received numerous accolades and praise for its performances, screenplay, direction, and music. At the 90th Academy Awards it won the category Best Adapted Screenplay and was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor ( Chalamet ), and Best Original Song ( `` Mystery of Love '' ). Ivory won awards for his screenplay at the 23rd Critics ' Choice Awards, the 70th Writers Guild of America Awards, and the 71st British Academy Film Awards. Chalamet was nominated for a British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Critics ' Choice Movie Award for Best Actor.

His father, a professor of archaeology, invites a 24 - year - old Jewish - American graduate student, Oliver, to live with him and his family over the summer and help with his academic paperwork. Elio, an introspective bibliophile and musical prodigy, initially finds little in common with Oliver, who has a contrastingly carefree and exuberant personality. Elio resents having to give up his bedroom for Oliver for the duration of his stay. He spends much of the summer reading, playing piano, and hanging out with his girlfriend, Marzia. Oliver is meanwhile attracted to one of the local girls, much to Elio 's annoyance. Elio and Oliver begin a seductive courtship : they swim together, go for long walks into town, and accompany Elio 's father on an archaeological trip. Elio begins a sexual relationship with Marzia and brags about it in front of Oliver to gauge his reaction, but nonetheless finds himself increasingly attracted to Oliver. He sneaks into Oliver 's room to smell his bathing suit, and thinks about him while masturbating. During a trip to the post office, Elio confesses his feelings to Oliver, who tells him he should not act on them. Later that day, Elio and Oliver kiss, but Oliver is reluctant to go any further. The two grow distant. In response to a note from Elio, Oliver leaves a note on Elio 's desk telling Elio to meet him at midnight. Elio spends the day with Marzia but longs to see Oliver. At midnight, he approaches Oliver and they have sex. They become more physically and emotionally intimate over the next few days, having sex frequently while keeping their relationship secret. Smitten with Oliver by this point, Elio starts avoiding Marzia. As the end of Oliver 's stay approaches, the couple find themselves overcome by uncertainty and longing. Elio 's parents, who are aware of the bond between the two, recommend they visit Bergamo together before Oliver returns to the United States. After spending three romantic days together, Elio, heartbroken, calls his mother and asks her to pick him up and take him home. Marzia, who still wants to be friends with Elio, is sympathetic ; his father, seeing Elio 's sadness, tells him he was aware of their relationship, confesses to almost having had a similar relationship in his own youth, and urges Elio to learn and grow from his grief, instead of quickly moving on. During Hanukkah, Oliver telephones Elio and his family to tell them he is engaged to be married. Oliver tells Elio he `` remembers everything '' very clearly. After the call, Elio sits by the fireplace, distraught, as his parents and the house staff prepare a holiday dinner. Cast Timothée Chalamet as Elio Perlman Armie Hammer as Oliver Michael Stuhlbarg as Mr. Perlman Amira Casar as Annella Perlman Esther Garrel as Marzia Victoire Du Bois as Chiara Vanda Capriolo as Mafalda Antonio Rimoldi as Anchise Elena Bucci as Bambi Marco Sgrosso as Nico André Aciman as Mounir Peter Spears as Isaac Production Development James Ivory, pictured in September 1991, took six to nine months to write the script and was once set to co-direct the film. After seeing an early proof of André Aciman 's debut novel Call Me by Your Name in 2007, American producers Peter Spears and Howard Rosenman bought the screen rights to it before it was published. They invited their friend James Ivory to work as an executive producer on the film adaptation. Spears and Rosenman read the book independently and produced it in 2008. The project was soon in `` development hell '' : the producers met with three sets of directors and writers ( among them Gabriele Muccino, Ferzan Özpetek, and Sam Taylor - Johnson ), but could not find anyone who would commit to the project. Scheduling around the need to film in Italy during the summer also proved difficult. The producers contacted Luca Guadagnino, their first choice to direct, but he declined, citing a busy schedule. Living in northern Italy, he was first hired as a location consultant instead, to help `` put the movie together from the Italian side ''. Guadagnino later suggested that he co-direct the film with Ivory but no contractual agreement was yet in place. Ivory accepted the offer, and spent between six and nine months in 2014 working on the screenplay. Guadagnino, who has described the novel as `` a Proustian book about remembering the past and indulging in the melancholy of lost things '', wrote the adaptation with Ivory while also collaborating with Walter Fasano to refine it. Screenwriting was done at Ivory 's house, Guadagnino 's kitchen table in Crema, and sometimes in New York City. Ivory hardly met Guadagnino during the process ; Guadagnino was making A Bigger Splash ( 2015 ). The screenplay was completed in late 2015. Aciman approved it and commended the adaptation as `` direct... real and persuasive ''. He added, `` as the writer I found myself saying, ' Wow, they 've done better than the book ' ''. The completed screenplay was vital in securing funding for the film 's production. Among the financiers were the production companies La Cinéfacture ( France ) ; Frenesy Film Company ( Italy, owned by Guadagnino ) ; M.Y.R.A. Entertainment ( United States ) ; RT Features ( Brazil ), and Water 's End Productions ( United States ). The project was also supported by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism. During negotiations, the production 's budget was reduced from $12 million to $3.5 million. In 2016, Ivory stepped down from directing to avoid conflicts, leaving Guadagnino to direct the film alone. According to Ivory, financiers from Memento Films International did not want two directors to be involved with the project because they `` thought it would be awkward... It might take longer, it would look terrible if we got in fights on the set, and so on ''. Guadagnino said Ivory 's version would have likely been `` a much more costly ( and ) different film '' that could not have been made because of `` market realities ''. Ivory became the sole - credited screenwriter ; he later sold the rights to the screenplay to Guadagnino 's company. Call Me by Your Name was Ivory 's first produced screenplay since Le Divorce ( 2003 ) and the only narrative feature he has written and not directed. Ivory was `` very much involved '' with other aspects of the production. Guadagnino dedicated the film to his friend Bill Paxton, who died in February 2017. Adaptation Call Me by Your Name is the final installment in Guadagnino 's thematic Desire trilogy, following I Am Love ( 2009 ) and A Bigger Splash ( 2015 ). The film is a departure from his previous work because he took a simple, `` non-aggressive '' approach ; he said this is the calmest movie he has made. Despite being a literary adaptation, many scenes are wordless. `` Words are part of what 's going on, but it 's not necessarily what 's going on underneath. I think this film celebrates the underneath '', he said. Guadagnino considers the film a `` homage to the fathers of my life : my own father, and my cinematic ones '', referring to filmmakers Jean Renoir, Jacques Rivette, Éric Rohmer, and Bernardo Bertolucci, who inspired him. Guadagnino has described Call Me by Your Name as a family - oriented film for the purpose of `` transmission of knowledge and hope that people of different generations come to see the film together ''. He never saw it as a `` gay '' movie but rather calls it a film about the `` beauty of the newborn idea of desire, unbiased and uncynical '', and reflecting his motto of living `` with a sense of joie de vivre '' in which `` we should always be very earnest with one 's feelings, instead of hiding them or shielding ourselves ''. The director tried to avoid the flaws he had seen in most coming - of - age films, in which growth is often portrayed as being a result of resolving preconceived dilemmas such as an enforced choice between two lovers. He also wanted the story to follow two people in the moment, rather than focus on an antagonist or a tragedy, an approach inspired by À nos amours ( 1983 ), directed by Maurice Pialat. As someone who considers sex in film a representation of the characters ' behavior and identity, Guadagnino was not interested in including explicit sex scenes in the film, to keep the tone as planned, saying, `` I wanted the audience to completely rely on the emotional travel of these people and feel first love... It was important to me to create this powerful universality, because the whole idea of the movie is that the other person makes you beautiful -- enlightens you, elevates you ''. Villa Albergoni ( pictured in 2011 ) was the main filming location The film differs from its source material in a number of ways. While the novel serves as a memory - piece from Elio 's perspective, the filmmakers set the movie entirely in the present timeline, a `` much more efficient '' solution, to help the audience understand the characters and `` reflect the essence of the book ''. The setting was changed from Bordighera to the countryside of Crema, Lombardy, where Guadagnino lives. He changed the year of the events from 1987 to 1983 -- a year in which he said, `` in Italy at least, when everything that was great about the ' 70s is definitely shut down '', and one in which the characters `` are in a way untouched by the corruption of the ' 80s -- in the U.S., ( Ronald ) Reagan, and in the UK, ( Margaret ) Thatcher ''. Ivory altered Mr. Perlman 's profession from a classics scholar to `` an art historian / archeologist type ''. Guadagnino was tempted to remove the scene from the novel in which Elio masturbates into a pitted peach, which he thought was a metaphor for `` sexual impulses and energy '', and that it was too explicit. Timothée Chalamet was also nervous about the scene, describing it as the key to illuminating the character 's `` overabundant sexual energy ''. Despite their reservations, Guadagnino and Chalamet each tested the method by themselves and both agreed it worked so it was included in the film. A scene featuring Elio and Oliver dancing enthusiastically to The Psychedelic Furs ' song `` Love My Way '' in a small bar is not drawn from the book but was inspired by Guadagnino 's experience of dancing by himself when he was young. When he was revising Ivory 's draft of the script, Guadagnino removed the voice - over narration and a considerable amount of nudity. The director did not like the idea of having the main character tell the story retrospectively, stating that `` it kills the surprise ''. Towards the end of the novel, the two protagonists visit Rome together ; the trip lasts an entire chapter and introduces new characters in multiple locations. Because of the film 's limited budget, Ivory and the producers wrote several variations, introducing the idea of having the lead characters left alone in the house ; this was changed into another trip in which they spend time alone together. In his original script 's final scene, Ivory depicted Elio decorating a Christmas tree in his family 's home. Ivory had to reduce the length of Mr. Perlman 's speech but was committed to keeping it in the script. He described the scene in which Elio conveys his feelings to Oliver as one of the story 's most important moments that captures the `` euphoric passion and nervousness '' of their first love. Casting In 2015, Shia LaBeouf and Greta Scacchi were reportedly set to be cast in the film. In September 2016, Ivory confirmed they were no longer involved in the project. LaBeouf had read for the film in New York City but the production company later felt he was unsuitable because of his `` various troubles '' ; although Ivory thought Scacchi and LeBeouf `` had good scenes together '' and could have made it into the film, the company disagreed. Hammer and Chalamet during the press conference for Call Me by Your Name at the 2017 Berlin International Film Festival After seeing Armie Hammer 's performance in The Social Network ( 2010 ), Guadagnino `` fell in love '' with him and cultivated his passion for Hammer and the movies he made afterwards. The director found him to be a `` sophisticated actor, with a great range '' and considered him for the role of Oliver. Hammer, who had expressed interest in Guadagnino 's A Bigger Splash, met with the director years before the film went into production. Hammer almost turned down the role after reading the draft script because it contained nudity. He said, `` I did want to pass ; it scared me '' and `` There 's a lot of stuff here that I 've never done on film before. But there 's no way I ca n't do this ( film ), mostly because it scares me so much. '' According to Guadagnino, Hammer was going to pass on the role through his agent, but then changed his mind at the end of their conversation. This is the third film in which Hammer has played a queer character, following J. Edgar ( 2011 ) and Final Portrait ( 2017 ). Chalamet has acted since he was a child and co-starred in Showtime 's Homeland ( 2012 ). The following year, Swardstrom -- Spears ' husband and agent -- introduced the 17 - year - old Chalamet to Guadagnino, who immediately felt the actor had `` the ambition, the intelligence, the sensitivity, the naivety, and the artistry '' to play Elio. Chalamet read Aciman 's novel by the time he was 17 and described it as `` a window into a young person ''. Chalamet, who can speak fluent French and had played piano for years, arrived in Italy five weeks early to learn Italian, piano, and guitar. Michael Stuhlbarg plays Mr. Perlman, Elio 's father. Stuhlbarg did not start reading the book until he had already joined the production. He was moved by the `` many beautiful sentiments expressed '' in the script, including Mr. Perlman 's `` sense of generosity and love and understanding ''. Amira Casar, Esther Garrel and Victoire Du Bois appear in supporting roles as Annella, Marzia, and Chiara respectively. Casting director Stella Savino met Vanda Capriolo when she was bicycling in the countryside. Capriolo, who is not an actor, was later cast for the role of the maid, Mafalda. Aciman and Spears also appear briefly in cameo roles as Mounir and Isaac, a gay couple who attend a dinner party. Aciman was asked to be in the movie after actors became unavailable. `` It was a last - minute decision '', Spears recalled, `` Andrė turns out to be a phenomenal actor ! So comfortable, not nervous at all. His wife was sitting there and said, ' I had no idea ! ' '' Hammer and Chalamet both signed contracts that prohibited full - frontal nudity. Ivory, whose original screenplay had contained nudity, was dismayed by the decision, criticizing what he saw as an `` American '' attitude and saying, `` Nobody seems to care that much or be shocked about a totally naked woman. It 's the men ''. Guadagnino, who remained involved in the casting, chose actors based on their performances and chemistry rather than choosing to `` investigate or label '' their sexuality. He said, `` The idea that you have to cast only someone who has a certain set of skills, and worse, a certain gender identity in any role : that 's oppressive to me ''. Filming and post-production The arch of Torrazzo at the Crema Cathedral, where the filming process was postponed due to bad weather Principal photography on Call Me by Your Name lasted around 33 days. It began on May 9, 2016, and was completed in June 2016. The process occurred quietly, with reports only appearing after filming had been underway for two weeks. Luca Guadagnino 's first cut of the film was four hours long. Post-production with regular editor Walter Fasano in June and July took only a month ; the fastest Guadagnino had edited. The film was shot primarily in Crema and the province of Cremona. It was filmed during an unexpected, heavy rainstorm in Italy that was described by weather reports as a `` once - in - century rain ''. The pre-production in Crema was fast ; a search for extras began there in March and April. Scenes set in the nearby villages Pandino and Moscazzano were filmed from May 17, before moving to Crema on June 1. Additional outdoor scenes were shot on December 4, 2016. Several historical locations in the streets of Crema and Pandino, including the arch of Torrazzo at Crema Cathedral, were chosen during production. Businesses received compensation for financial losses caused by the closure, which was scheduled for May 30 and 31. Two days ' filming at the cathedral were postponed due to poor weather. Production in Crema cost € 18,000, and a promotion campaign cost € 7,500. Filming also took place in the Lodigiano area near Crespiatica and two small towns Montodine and Ripalta near Crema. The archaeological discovery scene was filmed at the Grottoes of Catullus in Sirmione on the Brescian shores of Lake Garda. The trip to Bergamo was filmed in multiple historical buildings, including Bergamo Cathedral, the Santa Maria Maggiore, and the University of Sciences, Letters and Arts. Because of security concerns, the production team was only granted permission to film at the Cascate del Serio in Valbondione for half an hour. Before and during filming, the actors lived in Crema and were able to experience small - town life. Guadagnino engaged with the cast and filmmakers, and often cooked and showed films in his house for them. Hammer and Chalamet, who did not have to do a screen test together, met for the first time during production in Crema. Before filming began, they spent a month together, watching Mike Tyson documentaries and going to local restaurants to build character development. `` We 'd hang out with each other all the time, because we were pretty much the only Americans there, and we were able to defend one another and really get to know one another '', Chalamet said. In the first two days of production, Guadagnino read the script with the cast. Hammer and Chalamet went to the kissing scene during the first rehearsal. The actors rehearsed their scenes every night before filming and spent several days filming nude. `` I 've never been so intimately involved with a director before. Luca was able to look at me and completely undress me '', Hammer said. The Grottoes of Catullus, on the Brescian shore of Lake Garda, is one of the chosen filming locations. Guadagnino shot the film in chronological order, which allowed the filmmakers to `` witness the onscreen maturity of both protagonist and actor ''. The scene in which Mr. Perlman delivers an educational speech to Elio was filmed on the penultimate day of filming. Stuhlbarg spent months preparing for the scene, which Guadagnino wanted to make `` as simple as possible '' by taking fewer setups and `` let the actors be ''. According to Fasano, the scene took three takes to film and Stuhlbarg was `` on three different levels of getting emotional ''. During the dancing sequence, Hammer had to perform in front of 50 off - camera extras ; the music was turned down so the dialogue could be recorded. `` That was not fun, I do n't really enjoy dancing '', Hammer said. Choreographer Paolo Rocchi, who was contacted by the Frenesy Film Company in June 2016, described the routine `` awkward and realistic ''. The filmmakers laid a long camera dolly track and filmed the scene in which Elio tells Oliver of his feelings for him in one take to provide the flexibility and the `` flow of emotion '' a cut scene could not. Chalamet was listening to `` Visions of Gideon '', one of the original songs written for the film, in an earpiece while filming the final sequence, in which the director asked him to perform for three variations -- one per take. Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, who had previously collaborated with Guadagnino on Ferdinando Cito Filomarino 's Antonia ( 2015 ), served as the director of photography. He read Aciman 's novel before receiving the script and walked around filming locations to `` get a feeling for everything... to see the color, to see how the light changed during the day, and input it into my data ''. He had to use artificial lighting to capture the Northern Italian summer atmosphere for Call Me by Your Name because of heavy rains that lasted the entirety of the shoot. He also empathized with the actors during the scene ; Mukdeeprom cried in a corner of the room when they finished the first take of the confrontation between Oliver and Elio. The film was made using 35 mm film and a single lens, a decision influenced by the work of David Cronenberg to `` solidif ( y ) the point of view '' and make `` the tension of the performance come off the screen ''. Production design and costume The scene where Elio conveys his feelings for Oliver was shot in a single take at the war monument at Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, Pandino ( pictured ) The main location set for the Perlmans ' residence was Villa Albergoni, an uninhabited 17th - century mansion in Moscazzano. Guadagnino wanted to buy the house but could not afford it, so he made a film there instead. A landscape designer was hired to construct an orchard in the mansion 's garden. A pergola was built on the patio, and apricot and peach trees were placed in the garden. Six weeks before production, the crew -- including production designer Samuel Dehors and first - time set decorator Violante Visconti di Modrone -- gradually decorated the house with furniture, objects, and decoration inspired by the characters. Much of the furniture, including the dishes and glassware from the 1950s, belonged to Guadagnino and di Modrone 's parents. Di Modrone said, `` That made it cozy and personal... I wanted to give it the sense of time passing by ''. Most of the Asia - inspired paintings, maps, and mirrors came from an antiques store in Milan. Books seen in background were published before 1982. The swimming pool used in the film was recreated from a watering trough common in the area. The filmmakers set up faded political billboards in public places to reflect the Italian general election in 1983, and re-created a newsstand full of magazines of that time. Guadagnino did not want the film to `` look like a reflection on the 80s... when it becomes period. '' His team researched extensively with help from the residents of Crema ; they entered people 's houses and collected their pictures of the 1980s. Chen Li served as graphic designer ; she wrote the titles of the opening credits, in which the director used photocopied images of statues and placed them with Mr. Perlman 's personal items. Costume designer Giulia Piersanti avoided using period costumes ; he wanted to provide `` a sense of insouciant adolescent sensuality, summer heat and sexual awakening '' to the characters. Several costume pieces were made for the film from scratch. The costumes were influenced by the French films Pauline at the Beach ( 1983 ), A Tale of Springtime ( 1990 ), and A Summer 's Tale ( 1996 ). Piersanti took inspiration for the Perlmans ' wardrobe from her parents ' photograph albums. For Oliver 's `` sexy, healthy American '' image, Piersanti referred to `` some of Bruce Weber 's earliest photographs ''. His clothes change throughout the film as `` he 's more able to free himself ''. Aiming to emphasize Elio 's confident style, she chose several Lacoste costumes and a distinctive, New Romantic - looking shirt in the final scene. Elio 's polo shirt and Fido Dido T - shirt came from her husband 's closet. Music Main article : Call Me by Your Name : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Guadagnino usually selects the music for his films himself. For Call Me by Your Name, he wanted to find an `` emotional narrator to the film '' through music, a `` less heavy, less present, and more enveloping '' way than voice and text. He was inspired by the films Barry Lyndon ( 1975 ), The Magnificent Ambersons ( 1942 ), and The Age of Innocence ( 1993 ). Guadagnino wanted the film 's music to be connected to Elio, a young pianist who likes to transcribe and adapt piano pieces to deepen his relationship with Oliver. Music is used in the film to reflect the period setting, the characters ' family life and their level of education, and `` the kind of canon they would be a part of ''. Guadagnino also researched which pop songs had been frequently played on local radio stations that summer. Guadagnino found that Sufjan Stevens ' lyrics resonated with him, and had initially asked Stevens to narrate the film from the perspective of Elio at an older age, as well as to record an original song for Call Me by Your Name. Stevens declined the voiceover role, but contributed three songs to the soundtrack : `` Mystery of Love '', `` Visions of Gideon '', and a re-recording of his 2010 song `` Futile Devices ''. Stevens was inspired by the film 's script, its base novel, and conversations with Guadagnino about the characters. He submitted the songs a few days before filming began. Surprised by the result, Guadagnino listened to them on - set with the actors and editor Walter Fasano. The project marks the first time Stevens had written songs explicitly for a feature - film soundtrack. A soundtrack album was released in digital formats by Madison Gate Records and Sony Classical on November 3, 2017, and in physical formats on November 17, 2017. It features songs by Stevens, The Psychedelic Furs, Franco Battiato, Loredana Bertè, Bandolero, Giorgio Moroder, Joe Esposito, and F.R. David. It also includes music composed by John Adams, Erik Satie, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Maurice Ravel.

Prior to its premiere, Sony Pictures Classics acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film for $6 million. The deal was negotiated by WME Global and UTA Independent Film Group. International distribution rights were purchased by Memento Films International, a French company that showed the film promo reel at the American Film Market in November 2016. It was also screened at the Berlin International Film Festival on February 13, 2017 ; Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2017 ; and New York Film Festival on October 3, 2017. The film was originally scheduled to be shown on Beijing International Film Festival in April 2018, but it was removed from the official program with no explanation. Call Me by Your Name began a limited release in the United Kingdom on October 27, 2017, and United States on November 24, 2017. It expanded from four to thirty locations in the United States on 15 December 2017, and then to 114 theaters on December 22. It opened in 174 theaters in January 2018, before going into wide release in 815 theaters a few days before the Oscar nomination announcement ceremony on January 19, 2018. On the Oscars weekend, the film opened in 914 theaters, its widest release in the US. In Italy, Warner Bros. Entertainment released the film on January 25, in less than 150 theaters, before expanding to nearly 200 theaters on February 2. Special screenings and a public meet - and - greet with Guadagnino, Hammer and Chalamet took place in Crema between January 27 and 30, The film opened in Brazil on January 18, and in France on February 28, 2018. In March 2018, a distributor in Tunisia reported that the Ministry of Culture has banned the film as an `` attack on liberties '' because of its subject. A pirated copy of an awards - screener DVD of Call Me by Your Name, along with copies of Last Flag Flying and fellow Oscar nominees I, Tonya and Lady Bird, was leaked onto piracy file - sharing websites by the hacker group Hive - CM8 on December 24, 2017. The film was officially released for digital download on February 27, 2018. It was released on Blu - ray and DVD on March 13, 2018 ; bonus includes a making - of featurette, a Q&A interview with the cast and filmmakers, an audio commentary track by Chalamet and Stuhlbarg, and a music video for `` Mystery of Love ''. In the United Kingdom, the DVD charted at number 7 and the Blu - ray at number 4 on `` Top 100 '' sales for both formats. Marketing Sony Pictures Classics released an official poster for Call Me by Your Name on July 27, 2017. The first theatrical trailer was released on August 1, 2017. On 11 October 2017, Sony Pictures Classics released a teaser titled `` Dance Party '' to celebrate National Coming Out Day. The 42 - second clip, which consists of a single take of Hammer and Chalamet dancing to `` Love My Way '' in a bar, became a meme on Twitter. Because of its use in the clip, `` Love My Way '' gained popularity on music - streaming websites and rose 13 % on on - demand streams during the two months before the film 's release. In the week ending November 30, 2017, the song collected 177,000 on - demand streams, its biggest streaming week in the U.S. Reaction to the advertisement on social media was somewhat negative, largely because of Sony Pictures ' `` misleading '' use of an image of Chalamet and Garrel instead of a focus on the protagonist 's relationship. Daniel Megarry of Gay Times described it as `` an attempt to ' straight - wash ' the movie 's predominant same - sex romance '', while Benjamin Lee of The Guardian called it a `` disastrous attempt to push Oscar - buzzed Call Me by Your Name as a straight love story '', and said the advert `` belies an industry awkwardly denying queerness ''. Sony Pictures Classics later aired several commercial spots to promote the film during its U.S. - wide expansion on January 19, 2018. Reception Box Office As of May 16, 2018, Call Me by Your Name has grossed $18.1 million in the United States and Canada, and $23 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $41.1 million against a production budget of $3.5 million.

The website 's critical consensus reads ; `` Call Me by Your Name offers a melancholy, powerfully affecting portrait of first love, empathetically acted by Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer ''. It was the best - reviewed limited release and the second - best - reviewed romance film of 2017 on the site. On Metacritic, the film has an average weighted score of 93 out of 100, based on 51 critics, indicating `` universal acclaim ''. It was the year 's fifth - best rated film on Metacritic. Guadagnino 's direction was praised by critics. Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Boyd van Hoeij described Call Me by Your Name as an `` extremely sensual... intimate and piercingly honest '' adaptation of Aciman 's novel, and called Chalamet 's performance `` the true breakout of the film ''. Peter Debruge of Variety said the film `` advances the canon of gay cinema '' by portraying `` a story of first love... that transcends the same - sex dynamic of its central couple ''. He compared Guadagnino 's `` sensual '' direction with the films of Pedro Almodóvar and François Ozon, and put Call Me by Your Name `` on par with the best of their work ''. David Ehrlich of IndieWire also praised Guadagnino 's directing, which he said helps the film `` match the artistry and empathy '' of Carol ( 2015 ) and Moonlight ( 2016 ). Sam Adams of BBC stated that Stuhlbarg 's performance `` puts a frame around the movie 's painting and opens up avenues we may not have thought to explore '', and called it `` one of his finest '' to date. He extolled the film as one of `` many movies that have so successfully appealed to both the intellectual and the erotic since the heydays of Patrice Chéreau and André Téchiné ''. Ty Burr of The Boston Globe gave the film three and a half stars, commended the director for `` broadens his embrace of humanity while hitting new heights of cinematic bliss '', and wrote that the film `` may be a fantasy but it 's one that 's lovely and wise ''. David Morgan of CBS praised the cinematography, production design, and costuming for `` making a summer in the 1980s palpably alive again ''. He also applauded Stuhlbarg 's character as `` the most forward - thinking parent in movie history ''. Richard Lawson said Guadagnino 's adaptation `` was made with real love, with good intentions, with a clarity of heart and purposeful, unpretentious intellect '' and hailed it as a `` modern gay classic '' in his Vanity Fair review. Chicago Tribune 's Michael Phillips was pleased by the `` wonderfully paradoxical '' visual interests from the director and said Stevens ' songs `` work like magic on your sympathies regarding Elio 's emotional awakening ''. He praised Hammer 's performance as one of `` the most easy - breathing and relaxed best work of his career ''. The Economist noted the tension `` between pain and pleasure '' in the film and praised Chalamet, stating that he `` evokes so many shades of humanity, portraying a path of youthful self - discovery that is more raw, unhinged, and ultimately honest than many actors could manage ''. Kate Taylor of Globe and Mail, who gave the film two and a half stars, also enjoyed Chalamet 's effort in capturing `` first love and its inevitable heartbreak '' and said the `` multilingual, almost - pre-AIDS idyll does not stretch credulity... but it can try the patience ''. Ken Eisner of The Georgia Straight questioned the film 's central message and said `` Guadagnino 's lyrical excesses... can alternate wildly between the poetically incisive and the indulgently preposterous ''. In a negative review, Kyle Turner of Paste wrote, `` The details of the film are too small for anyone, perhaps particularly a queer person, to see '' ; a visual distance that `` suggests that the film, in the beginning, is as terrified as Elio initially is. It never gets over that hesitation. '' Armond White of Out called the movie `` craven commercialism '' and a `` super-bourgeois fantasy '' that `` exploit ( s ) the queer audience 's romantic needs by packaging them and falsifying them ''. Luke Y. Thompson of Forbes criticized its length and called it an `` excruciatingly boring travelogue ''.

Sequel Guadagnino has deliberated over the idea of a sequel since the film 's premiere at Sundance, when he realized the characters `` could go beyond the boundaries of the film ''. In October 2017, he said he hoped to make a sequel to the film in 2020 that might be in the style of François Truffaut 's The Adventures of Antoine Doinel series, telling the story of Oliver and Elio as they age. `` If I paired the age of Elio in the film with the age of Timothée, in three years ' time, Timothée will be 25, as would Elio by the time the second story was set '', he said. In the novel, Elio and Oliver reunite 15 years later when Oliver is married. Guadagnino said that in the sequel, `` I do n't think Elio is necessarily going to become a gay man. He has n't found his place yet... I believe that he would start an intense relationship with Marzia again ''. Guadagnino is interested in the politics of the 1990s, saying, `` it would be the beginning of the ( Silvio ) Berlusconi era in Italy and it would mean dealing with the ( first Gulf War ) of Iraq ''. In November 2017, Guadagnino shared his intention to make a series of five films, in which the audience could `` see those actors grow older, embodying those characters ''. A month later, he was reported to have begun writing a script for a sequel that would reveal more about Oliver and resemble Michael Apted 's Up series. Hammer and Chalamet have expressed interest in appearing in a sequel, while Ivory has no interest in the material, saying `` that 's fine, good. But I do n't know how they 're going to get a 40 - year - old ( Chalamet ) ! '' In January 2018, Guadagnino revealed the sequel will be set `` right after the fall of Berlin Wall and that great shift that was the end of... the USSR '', and that the first scene in the film could depict Elio watching Paul Vecchiali 's Once More ( 1988 ) -- the first French film to deal with AIDS -- in a movie theater. In March 2018, Guadagnino confirmed he will work with Aciman on the sequel, which will take place `` five or six years afterwards '' with `` a different tone '' than the first film. Hammer said he was pitched by the director about the script ; `` it 's not a finished script, but he 's got all the ideas for it '', he said. References Jump up ^ `` Call Me by Your Name ( 2017 ) ''.
