Timothée Chalamet delivers an era-defining performance as Elio, a precocious teenager whose languorous summer is shaken by the arrival of Oliver, a post-graduate student assisting his father. Prickly poolside exchanges and tense bicycle rides soon evolve into something deeper between the two. The bond they share, no matter how briefly it lasts, will be transformative. Sensuous, tender and devastating, the film perfectly captures the rapturous and tortured sensations of first love.
