Relaxed Screening: Call Me by Your Name (15)
Luca Guadagnino (A Bigger Splash, I Am Love) returns with this utterly beautiful romance following the relationship between 17 year-old Elio and doctoral student Oliver over a shimmering summer.
Set during a hot Italian summer in 1983, we follow teenager Elio Perlman (Timothée Chalamet), on holiday with his translator mother (Amira Casar) college professor father (Michael Stuhlbarg). When research assistant Oliver (Armie Hammer) comes to visit, he and Elio find themselves drawn to each other, and a profound relationship develops between them.
With superb performances and two new tracks from Sufjan Stevens, Guadagnino's adaptation of André Aciman's coming-of-age novel is a sun-kissed and transcendent romance, capturing both the exquisite pain and unbound joy of first love.
Relaxed Screenings
Relaxed screenings are specially tailored for film fans who may be on the autistic spectrum, have Tourette Syndrome, anxiety, sensory difficulties or other learning disabilities.
The cinema environment is tailored to the needs of the audience by having the lights dimmed, though not off, and the volume levels a little lower than usual. Attendees are free to sit in whichever seat they like and can enter and exit the room at any time, with easy access for any wheelchair users. Staff are trained and ready to assist with any help the audience may need during these trips to the cinema at the Barbican.
