![]() ![]() So there you have it: Thanks to Chalamet and Guadagnino’s thorough commitment to their respective crafts, we now know that Call Me by Your Name’s peach scene is not merely a poignant metaphor, but a viable (if messy) way to jerk off. “And he said, ‘I tried, too, and I already knew it worked.’” “I went to Timothée and said, ‘We shoot the scene, because I tried it and it worked,’” Guadagnino says. ![]() When he brought up the scene with Chalamet, the young star was one step ahead of him. Turns out, Guadagnino wasn’t the only one who decided to take a Method approach. “So I grabbed a peach and I tried, and I have to say - it works.” ![]() “I was struggling with the possibility that you can masturbate yourself with such a fruit,” Guadagnino continues. “In the book, it is so strong and explicit that I thought it was a metaphor, something that couldn’t exist in real life,” he tells Out magazine about his initial reluctance to include it.īut, in the interest of artistic integrity, he decided to give it a go.

The film is based on the cult novel of the same name by André Aciman, and peaches are featured prominently throughout the novel, both in the aforementioned masturbation scene and as a recurring motif. And in one of the the most memorable scenes, Elio - overcome with desire for Oliver - masturbates using a pitted peach, one of the many that grow abundantly in the surrounding countryside. Luca Guadagnino’s Oscar-bait-y Sundance sensation Call Me by Your Name (now screening at NYFF, out wide November 24) is a sprawling, sun-dappled coming-of-age romance set in the 1980s, about a 17-year-old boy named Elio (Timothée Chalamet) who falls in love with Oliver (played by Armie Hammer), an American intern who comes to work with Elio’s father and live at the family’s Italian villa for the summer. Earlier this year, Girls Trip introduced the world to the “The Grapefruit Method.” And now, in the final months of 2017, a critically acclaimed new film is bringing fruit-based masturbation back onto the scene in the big way.
