Soundtrack – Call Me By Your Name 2LP

Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing including poster, insert and printed inner sleeves. Call Me By Your Name, the 2017 film by Luca Guadagnino, is a sensual and transcendent tale of first love, based on the acclaimed novel by Andre Aciman. Summer of 1983, Northern Italy. An American-Italian is enamored by an American student who comes to study and live with his family. Together they share an unforgettable summer full of music, food, and romance that will forever change them. The film received critical acclaim upon it’s release, being already positively compared to Brokeback Mountain and Moonlight. Luca Guadagnino wanted the film’s music to be connected to Elio, a young pianist who likes to transcribe and adapt pieces in order to get close to Oliver. The music is used to reflect the time, the characters’ family, level of education and ‘the kind of canon they would be a part of’. Guadagnino found himself resonating with Sufjan Stevens’ lyricism through his work and initially asked Stevens to record an original song. Eventually, Stevens contributed three songs to the soundtrack: ‘Visions of Gideon’, which was used at the end of the film, ‘Mystery of Love, ‘ which was featured in the film’s first trailer and a new rendition of ‘Futile Devices’ with piano. Stevens penned the songs by using the script, the book, and the conversations with the director about the characters. It marks Sufjan Stevens’ first soundtrack for a feature film. The soundtrack also features songs by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Giorgio Mororder, The Psychedelic Furs and many others.
