Best Film of 2017

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2018)

When going to see this movie, I did expect good things to come but after watching it this is one of the best films I've seen in a very long time. This movie blew me away in so many ways, first I would like to mention the sound track which was amazing. Now let's talk about the screenplay, the script was written by James Ivory who also directed A room with a view, and he is 89 now and I hope to god that he wins best adapted screenplay. The dialogue was incredible, the way how he mixed English with Italian with French was just great and how it has those slight poetic speeches that made you feel. Luca Guadagnino directed this film he also directed I am love and A bigger splash and his directing in this movie blew me away. From those wide long shots of them talking from just simple shot of them just riding their bike around, he captured the beauty of Italy and showed the love these two men have. But the thing that stood out the most for me, the thing that blew me away the most was Timothée Chalament's performance. His performance was one of the best I've seen in a long time and his raw performance was incredible, he was so realistic, you could tell that he was struggling with his sexuality and his love for Oliver felt so real, but the seen that showed his true talent was the ending seen. Over all I cannot flaw this movie it was raw and intense especially with the love making and its movie like this that really set a landmark in cinema
