For many contemporary film enthusiasts, “Call Me By Your Name” may have been their inaugural exposure to gay romance on the big screen. This cinematic gem not only enriched the movie industry by exploring a poignant love story, but also introduced the world to the prodigious talent of Timothee Chalamet, solidifying his place in Hollywood.
However, while the film and its lead actor have garnered much attention, the soundtrack remains an underrated treasure trove. An eclectic mix of melodies, both commissioned for the film and borrowed from pre-existing tracks, it boasts contributions from some of the most influential musicians of our time.
The musical ambiance of the movie is largely shaped by the mesmerizing compositions of renowned artists like Sufjan Stevens and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Their masterful use of the piano as a primary instrument, paired with evocative vocals and the acoustics of well-curated spaces, lends the film its ethereal and nostalgic atmosphere.
Adding to the auditory delight, the film incorporates a sprinkling of timeless romantic tunes. These tracks, steeped in synth and characterized by their European charm, transport audiences to a different era and place. Among these gems are FR David’s “Words” and Franco Battatio’s “Radio Varsavia,” which further enhance the movie’s narrative, making the experience all the more enchanting.
In essence, “Call Me By Your Name” isn’t just a visual masterpiece; its soundscape, teeming with evocative tracks and powerful compositions, plays an equally compelling role in narrating a tale of love, longing, and self-discovery.
