- Legendary writer and director James Ivory (Howards End, The Remains of the Day) joins us for an extended introduction and audience Q&A to this year's art-house sensation Call Me By Your Name, a tender love story set in 1980s Italy for which he wrote the award-winning screenplay.

“If I am pressed to say why I loved him, I feel it can only be explained by replying: 'Because it was he; because it was me.”.
40:27 I CANNOT!!! James Ivory just nailed that moment!
One of my favorite parts of the book was the Rome chapter, it may not have anything to do for what happened at the end of the film, but almost everything about that (as long as it is) was so sublime, powerful and intimate. It almost brought me to tears aside of the other powerful partes of the book.
IT WAS ARMIE HAMMER 😂❤️❤️❤️
Good interview. The host did a nice job and asked good questions.
He obviously knows Italy and loves it.
“Timothée is terribly terribly smart!”
I agree with most of his adaptations from the book, including removing Vinimi and the Rome chapter and the ending. He is incredibly talented and deserved all the recognition. I just wished he had kept Monet's painting though, it would've been nice for Oliver to take a present from Elio as a souvenir.
Also I think I rather the version of the mother picking up Elio at the station, insted of Ciara, in the end she knew all along.
i realize it is quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch new tv shows online ?
@Forest Ismael thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) I appreciate it!!

thanks i ended up hearing it when it got there I thought I had missed it thanks
Look is this man 90 here?! And he was 85 when he directed call me by your name. Im loosing my mind! Simply incredible.
James Ivory wrote the screenplay for Call Me By Your Name, he didn't direct it. (Luca Guadagnino did.)
Excellent interview, thank you. Incidentally, please note that the screenplay for Maurice is not by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, but by Kit Hesketh-Harvey and James Ivory (Jhabvala declined the project).
A truly fascinating discussion. Thank you!
Very big congratulations my greatest Mr. director James Ivory

40:30-40:48 good answer.hahahaha
“Gods own Country” was better. But it was so good to see James Ivory finally win an Oscar.
an absolute geniusss
The scene with chiara and elio should have been in the movie
I feel like Luca and André had more of an understanding and connection in the direction of where the film was going.
+Heidi S He’s not.....he’s just....answering questions like a normal person? Chill
watched
Screen writers always have to answer these kind of questions whenever they have to fight for their version to the director. If I were a screen writer I would have asked the producer for myself directing my own films.
Easier said than done. (They are also very different kinds of jobs and not everyone can do both or even wants to. Ivory has obviously directed lots.) There was a process of trying to make this movie happen with Ivory directing... and when that didn't work out, then him and Guadagnino co-directing, but that didn't work out either. Raising money just isn't that simple, you know. Financiers turned the movie down for years. Ivory asked for a longer shooting schedule and lots more money for his version. The $12 million budget that Ivory requested still would have been a fairly small budget for a movie nowadays, but clearly the financiers didn't believe there would be audience for it to merit the investment. Guadagnino managed to make the shoot much shorter (and get people to work for very little money), and cut the budget to much less than a third of what it would have been with Ivory, and so after years of trying to get financing for the movie they were finally able to do it. It just wasn't happening with Ivory directing. (And personally I'm glad Guadagnino directed it, I'm sure the movie is better for it.)
@@bluenorth3965 I said "And personally I..." meaning that was my opinion, and I absolutely stand by it. Of course they are both very talented. My opinion that Guadagnino was a better fit for this movie and made a better movie than Ivory would have is based on what Ivory would have wanted to do, and what Guadagnino did differently - with what I feel were better choices.
For instance, Ivory wanted Chiara to have a bigger role, wanted to cast Shia LaBeouf as Oliver, wanted more explicit scenes (such as genitals shown, and complained about Luca choosing not to shoot that way), wrote voice-over narration (aaghh...) and much more dialogue (I think silence and non-verbal communication worked better for instance for the morning after Midnight and at the train station), etc. I also liked Luca adding French, and his choice of locations (though I'm sure Ivory's choice of Sicily would have been fine, too), and Luca's choice of music - including persuading Sufjan Stevens into providing music for the movie.
Had Ivory directed, the movie would have been very different. If you feel it might have been as good or even better, fine, I just disagree then, but not based on talent evaluation, but based on Ivory's plans and comments vs. the movie Luca made.
@@bluenorth3965 Yeah, go figure why, but Ivory liked him for the role - even production company didn't like the idea. But LaBeouf read for the role and was reportedly set to be cast back in 2015, and Ivory said it would have worked. He has commented on it himself in at least one interview, and it was been mentioned in a few articles, I read them a couple of years ago, can't remember which ones, but even the movie's wiki page mentions LaBeouf. I think he would have been totally miscast, and I'm very glad with Guadagnino's entirely different choice for Oliver.
@@bluenorth3965 Maurice is a better movie than Call Me By Your Name so there's that.
@@rumblefish9 They are both wonderful films, very different in almost every way I can imagine, so I see no point in pitting one against the other. It all comes down ultimately to personal taste and preference.
Ivory seems a bit cantankerous that night.
You right was @armiehammer and don´t tell me about the three but was beautiful anyway¡¡¡
