What critics compared A Nos Amours to
Taking inspiration from any number of works about beautiful European youths with good style and hearts full of longing—most explicitly Proust, as well as Maurice Pialat’s À nos amours — Guadagnino’s film drops us “somewhere in Northern Italy” in 1983, where 17-year-old Elio (Timothée Chalamet) is lounging at his parents’ villa just as a summer apprenticeship reels in the improbably handsome American grad student Oliver (Armie Hammer) to study with Elio’ss father (Michael Stuhlbarg).
Without doubt, this is Western cinema 's most mature and assured performance by a teenage actress since Sandrine Bonnaire 's award-winning work in "A Nos Amours" and "Vagabond" 30 years ago.
