Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Elio (Timoth�e Chalamet) is spending the summer with his family in their house in Northern Italy when Oliver (Armie Hammer) comes to stay. What is the reason for his visit?
Answer:
He is a graduate student coming to do research with Elio's father.
Elio's father (Michael Stuhlbarg) is a professor of archaeology who has a graduate student come to his house for the duration of each summer to help him with his research. Near the beginning of the film, Mr. Perlman tests Oliver's knowledge by deliberately making an etymological mistake - Oliver passes the test with flying colours.
At the time that the film is set, Elio is 17 and Oliver is 24.

2. Elio doesn't particularly like Oliver when he arrives at the house. Which of the following is one of the main reasons for this?
Answer:
Elio has to give up his bedroom to Oliver.
Elio is most certainly not smitten when Oliver first arrives at the house. Elio is very cerebral and quiet, preferring to spend most of his time reading books. Whilst Oliver is learned, he is also loud and gregarious, something that initially grates on Elio.

3. Elio is already in a relationship with another man when Oliver arrives in town.
Answer:
False
Elio is not in a relationship with another man, but he does have girlfriend called Marzia. Elio maintains this situation whilst his relationship with Oliver is developing, and at one point tells his family and Oliver that he has slept with Marzia, in part to see how Oliver reacts. Later in the film, Elio decides that he cannot maintain both relationships and begins to avoid Marzia.

'Love My Way' by The Psychedelic Furs

6. Without saying in explicitly, Elio finally tells Oliver that he has feelings for him. Where are they when he breaks the news?
Answer:
At a World War I memorial
The two of them cycle into town and arrive at a memorial for the Battle of Piave, a topic that Elio knows a lot more about than Oliver. Oliver asks him "is there anything you don't know?", to which Elio replies "I know nothing Oliver...about the things that matter".
Understanding his meaning, Oliver asks "Why are you telling me this?", and Elio ultimately replies "because I wanted you to know". Despite the fact that their relationship is growing, Oliver tries to discourage Elio from letting it go any further.

7. As their relationship develops, Elio and Oliver become increasingly intimate. After they sleep together for the first time, Oliver says to Elio "Call me by your name, and..." what?
Answer:
"I'll call you by mine."
"Call me by your name, and I'll call you by mine" can be interpreted in many ways, one of which is that it asserts the complete confidence and safety that they characters can have with one another. After they have slept together, Elio and Oliver spend more and more time together. Later in the film they go on a three-day trip to the city of Bergamo, encouraged by Elio's parents.

8. At the end of the film, Elio and Oliver establish a stable long-term relationship.
Answer:
False

The final scene of the film is set in winter, and Oliver phones Elio to tell him that he is engaged. In a heartbreaking finish, Elio sits by the fire and cries while the credits roll.
