Overview
Elio Perlman is spending the summer with his family at their vacation home in Lombardy, Italy. When his father hires a handsome doctoral student, the curious 17-year-old finds himself developing a growing attraction to the young man.
This film is unique in that it is the first movie that I can recall where there is a homosexual relationship that isn’t in some way tragic. It very much reminded me of the fantastic An Education. The film was a joy to watch. I can see how some found the film to be dull – there can be a fine line between subtle and dull.
