Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2018)

Attention possibile spoilers!
Luca Guadagnino makes pride to Italy with a film capable of receiving 4 Oscar nominations, including that of best picture (the last time this honor came to "La Vita è Bella" by Roberto Benigni).
As the director has already said in various interviews, this is not a film about a homosexual love but on a first love, a normal love or better, as reflected by the beautiful shots and by a beautiful sentence that the father of Elio pronounces in the final part, a natural love, Guadagnino is very keen to reiterate several times in the course of the film that this is not a love against nature but that is precisely the nature, present in each scene, that created it; if you really want to find something different or strange then it is the age that separates the two protagonists, Elio and Oliver, Oliver and Elio.
A film proud to be what it is, proud of its nature, a film dense in the images and intense in feelings, emotions and words, but also in looks and bodies.
A film that is delicate but at the same time straightforward, direct, courageous and always credible.
Recounted from Elio's point of view, the film is divided into two parts, in the first part we see the change, the difficulty in understanding oneself and especially in accepting oneself while in the second the change has already happened, here Elio begins to accept and to understand that there is nothing unnatural in his love. A beautiful love.
A perfect film in practically everything: cinematography, direction, interpretations, screenplay, scenography, soundtrack; but missing something more to be really perfect, to enter in list of my favorite movies, something that would have made me move a little more but maybe this something I will find in a second vision. But this does not prevent me from considering it a masterpiece.
