Cinema Apathy

A recent work conversation about The Terminator films made me realise something...going to the cinema lately has been a bit...well...dull.

Call Me By Your Name

There are some films that feel less like stories and more like memories. In this episode, we talk about Call Me By Your Name — Luca Guadagnino’s tender, aching portrait of first love, longing, and the summers that seem to exist outside of time. We explore the film’s incredible use of sound, silence, music, and nature, from the constant hum of cicadas to the intimacy of Sufjan Stevens’ soundtrack, and how every frame seems filled with heat, desire, and nostalgia. More than that, we reflect on why this film reaches so many people so deeply: the way it reminds us of our own pasts, the people we can never fully forget, and the strange pain of remembering moments that were beautiful precisely because they could not last. This episode is ultimately about the power of cinema itself — how a film can make us feel seen, understood, and transported back into parts of ourselves we thought had disappeared. Call Me By Your Name isn’t just a love story; it’s a reminder of just how emotionally truthful and overwhelming great cinema can be.
