During the sex act, Guadagnino keeps the camera on Elio’s face, interested in his response, which traverses a wide emotional terrain that highlights the close relationship for him between desire and shame. Guadagnino juxtaposes the mausoleum-like space of the Recchi villa, shrouded in snow, rain, or mourning, with the bright, sunny streets and fertile, hilly surrounds of San Remo, where Emma and Antonio rendezvous. Oliver’s repeated statement, first in relation to the eggs, then in relation to Elio, that, “I know myself,” confirms a voluptuous hunger.

We often let this one play out by getting stuck in a relationship with someone who doesn't give us the attention we want or getting a sexual thrill from chasing unavailable partners.This theory, however, is meant to explain sexual orientation as opposed to the substance of desire within a given object-choice. Getting there may require working through their own personal myths, fears, body hatred, shame, and the assumptions they may hold about sexuality.
