Beating Hearts: Compassion and Self-discovery in 'Call Me By Your Name'

A bittersweet story of young love gained and lost, Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name also manages to dramatise the roles of sympathy and support networks in the process of coming of age – especially for those whose sexualities may not align with the norm. Joanna Di Mattia dives into this sumptuous film and examines its handling of growth, grief, relationships and risk.
