Best movie of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2018)

Every year there is a film that reaches my emotional core and within the past year, there was one that really hit me. A European film with splashes of French and a quixotic countryside, "Call Me By Your Name" is simple in concept and complex in its execution. The film is set in an idyllic time and place without cell phones and constant distractions, a summer of sun, reading and culture. The coming-of-age drama features phenomenal performances and a sensuality on full display. There is a certain rapturous nostalgia about this film that stays with me and I can't wait to return to the Italian village of Crema for another viewing.
