Melbourne International Film Festival wrap up with Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino

TV & Film

CALL ME BY YOUR NAME is the new film from director Luca Guadagnino. It has been called triumphant and heartbreaking. We think that it’s a new queer classic – as beautiful and bittersweet as first love itself. In fact, we’re placing early Oscar bets …

To celebrate its screening at the Melbourne International Film Festival this year, we catch up with Luca for an exclusive chat about the art of great film making and how he feels about us calling CALL ME BY YOUR NAME an instant queer classic. We look at his remarkable filmography – think A BIGGER SPLASH and I AM LOVE – and chat about where CALL ME BY YOUR NAME fits within the broader queer canon.

We also wrap up our coverage of the Melbourne International Film Festival by taking a look at some other Festival highlights, including new work from Francis Lee and queer auteur Todd Haynes.
