I’m not a fan of this film but I definitely wouldn’t say no to sitting in the sun listening to its songs. It’s only right that the visual brilliance of the film can only be matched by the excellently constructed soundtrack. Deservedly, the film got a nomination for the best original song with 'Mystery of Love' by Sufjan Stevens. The music perfectly captures the endless 1983 Italian Summer the film is set in with the warm and minimalistic songs played throughout.
Call Me by Your Name is by no means a bad film, it’s great in fact, but I feel there are some shortcomings, like its problematic themes and how it drags at times.
The acting is impeccable with Timothee Chalamet’s best performance to date and the cinematography makes the watch visually stunning, even if it is a bit boring. It’s definitely a slow burn making it seem a lot longer than its two-hour 12-minute runtime. In 2017 we got the controversial and problematic Call Me by Your Name. Leonie Bellini Call Me by Your Name (2017) The vague mix of universality and straight white American boy personal story that Boyhood captured left me feeling unsure of my relationship to it, but now with my own slightly cliché memories soundtracked by those songs, it has allowed the feelings that I think the film was aiming for to live on separately in a more meaningful context. I’m thinking particularly of 'I’ll Be Around' by Yo La Tengo and 'Hero' by Family of the Year, the perfect generically wistful looking-out-of-the-bus-window, “yes I’m an indie kid” anthems. That’s where the soundtrack comes in: the songs from Boyhood have stayed with me and become a part of my life more than the slightly disappointing film itself, evoking this sense of youth and memory in a more sustaining and personal way. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy this film (I cried most of the way through), but past the first hour or so it just didn’t have the impact on me I was expecting as someone who adores coming-of-age films and lives for nostalgia, and notably whose favourite album is Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs (of which not one but two songs are featured). I've listened to the soundtrack many more times than the film and it never disappoints quite as much as the film does. So, this is one of those films where people only remember it for the great soundtrack and not the amazing plot and character development.
When I saw the film I did enjoy it the first time, however, the more you watch it the more you realise how bad the storyline is and the disappointment with the characters (again, except Harley Quinn!). Then winning the Kids’ Choice Award for Favorite Soundtrack. The soundtrack received a lot more recognition than the film itself, with it going on to have nominations in 2017 for Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack, Billboard Music Award for Top Soundtrack and American Music Award for Favorite Soundtrack. For a film that the critics tore to pieces, and didn't get rated very highly the soundtrack did not disappoint. The film Suicide Squad wasn't all bad, there were some great scenes (mainly involving Harley Quinn!), however, the soundtrack definitely beats the film itself.įrom 'Gangsta' to 'Sucker For Pain', 'Purple Lamborghini' to 'Heathens', and great artists like Twenty One Pilots, Imagine Dragons, Kehlani and Panic! At the Disco.
