The scene on-screen mirrors a vivid image that 17-year-old Luca Guadagnino had in his mind: a man smitten by love reaches out, almost ethereally, to touch the face of his unaware beloved with a semi-transparent hand.

While Zoomers may not catch every reference, this might work against this otherwise vibrant and somewhat chaotic teen horror-comedy.
