In 2017, Luca Guadagnino introduced the world to the brilliance of Timothée Chalamet, in his poetic and poignant gay romance drama Call Me By Your Name. That film quietly cut through the hearts of its many fans and broke new grounds for both storytelling and representation in cinema. Adapted from the novel by Andre Aciman, with a thoughtful portrayal of an intimate gay relationship and a breezy pace, soaking in the timeless beauty of an Italian summer, Call Me By Your Name has made its place as a classic of our times. The film’s artistry was duly recognized by The Academy, as it was nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture, and Chalamet became one of the youngest actors to ever be nominated for the Best Actor trophy. So naturally, a new collaboration between the director and the actor has people stoked.
