Intellectual vs physical attraction ?

Rating: 7/10 (13 August 2018)

While the camera work and script were fine I had difficulty believing Oliver could find waif-like Elio physically attractive. Of course, many gay men find such slight bodies attractive. The ancient statute brought up from the sea had a better body than Elio. I admit Elio had a somewhat intellectual gravitas about him. Maybe that is what attracted the older Oliver. I wonder how this all would play out 30 years later - these days in 2018.
