Trivia
Timothée Chalamet learned to speak Italian and play the classical piano pieces used in the film.

Goofs
At the car, when Elio and Oliver prepare to head off to Lake Garda with Sam, Elio has his right foot up on the open back door panel during their conversation; however, when the shot changes to Oliver's point of view in the front seat, Elio clearly has his left foot up on the door frame. Back outside it's his right foot again.

Quotes
Mr. Perlman: We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new, but to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste.

Crazy credits
Although the movie has a full opening credits sequence, the title of the film is not shown on screen until the end credits begin.

It happens when you least expect it

Beauty in the midst of all the ugliness we're living in, it's like a shock. I wept like I hadn't wept in a movie since I was very young. It made me think and remember summers of my own life. It made remember sounds and smells. I was transported. The smartness, candor and gentleness of this unexpected love story goes beyond anything I've ever seen. Luca Guadagnino is rapidly becoming one my favorite directors working today. Armie Hammer completely demolished my preconceptions with a performance that is total perfection and I haven't mention Timothee Chalamet yet. No I need to dedicate the lasts paragraphs to him because his performance goes beyond perfection. I didn't know him at all. Now I' a fan. It reminded me of the first time I saw Daniel Day Lewis playing a gay punk in "My Beautiful Launderette" An explosion of beauty when you least expected. Thank you for that.
