Call Me by Your Name
Homosexuality is the solution to the age-old toilet seat up/down debate.
A theory confirmed by the May-December lovers sharing a lavatory in this drama.
Noted bookworm and audiophile Elio (Timothée Chalamet) is forced to surrender his bedroom for the summer when Oliver (Armie Hammer), an archeology student of his father (Michael Stuhlbarg), comes to stay with his family at their countryside villa in Italy.
While he is initially hostile towards the older visitor he has to show around town, Elio eventually realizes that his unfriendly demeanor is just a way to disguise what he really feels. Fortunately, Oliver feels the same.
While it is a beautifully shot and wondrously acted adaptation of the coming-of-age erotica that completes director Luca Guadagnino's desire trilogy, one cannot overlook the film's blatant ephebophilia, its overly optimistic ending, or its marathon runtime.
Nevertheless, thanks to pepperoni and sausage, Italy remains the origin of penis euphemisms. Yellow Light
