Just saw the “Call me by your name” movie, a festival hit of the year. I was a little bit afraid that it’s gonna be too sweet and senseless, but it was just the kind of movie I needed to see at the moment. In fact it doesn’t have a real conflict, but that doesn’t make it any worse. It is considered that a movie about gay people today should have a social o political subtext, a strong idea or something like this. People start to forget that a movie sometimes doesn’t make any statement, but can be a piece of pure apolitical art, for the sake of beauty itself. And an act of love between two people is a great example of this beauty. I really enjoyed the slow motion of this story and the way it doesn’t make any great sense, cause I do believe that most things in our lives doesn’t make any sense, sense is really overrated. And I needed to see the audience that came to see this movie (which is screened like 3 or 4 times in Moscow in festival programs only). The people who came to see it today were different age and sex, couples and singles of all kinds, and in the end they applauded, and they applauded twice! Sometimes I start to forget that there are a lot of “normal” people (in my idea of “normal”), I even start to think that I am not the normal one. It is great to see the confirmation that my kind of people still exist - both on screen and on the auditorium. We all need a reminder about mutual acceptance and understanding, and this film gave me this positive feeling from the screen and from the people around me
