OLIVER:
The same one.
The tall, half-naked OLIVER, hanging over him intimidatingly,
causes ELIO to get up and enter the house through the big
door.
15 INT. LIVING ROOM -PERLMAN VILLA -DAY 15
ELIO plays the piece on the piano. OLIVER leans on the door
looking in. The music sounds very different from when he
played it on his guitar.
OLIVER:
You changed it. What did you do to
it? Is it Bach?
10.
ELIO:
I just played it the way Liszt
would have played it if he’d
jimmied around with it.
OLIVER:
Just play it again, please!
ELIO begins playing the piece again. OLIVER listens, then
speaks:
OLIVER (CONT’D)
I can’t believe you changed it
again.
ELIO:
Not by much. That’s how Busoni
would've played it if he’d altered
Liszt’s version.
OLIVER:
Can’t you just play the Bach the
way Bach wrote it?
ELIO:
Bach never wrote it for guitar. In
fact, we’re not even sure it’s Bach
at all.
OLIVER:
Forget I asked.
ELIO:
Okay, okay. No need to get so
worked up.
ELIO begins to play the Bach in its original form. OLIVER,
who had turned away, comes back to the door. ELIO says,
softly, over his playing:
ELIO (CONT’D)
It’s young Bach, he dedicated it to
his brother.
He plays it beautifully, as if sending it to OLIVER as a
gift.
16 INT. ELIO’S BEDROOM -PERLMAN VILLA -LATER 16
ELIO is writing his diary, the wind is moving the curtains.
He then puts the open diary on the bed and goes into the
shared bathroom to pee, shutting the door behind him. The
camera moves close on to the diary and we read: “...I was too
harsh when I told him I thought he hated Bach...”
11.
The wind blows the pages of the little book, then dies down
so that we can go on reading: “What I wanted to say was that
17 EXT. STREETS/CARD CAFE -TOWN STREET -DAY 17
Another day.
OLIVER and ELIO walk down a street; OLIVER steps into a cafe.
Some men inside are sitting at two or three tables with
playing cards. Waiters bring coffee and other drinks to the
customers, the place is lively.
NARRATOR:
Taking in summer guests was Elio’s
dad and mom, The Perlmans, a way of
helping young academics revise
manuscript before publication.
Summer residents didn’t have to pay
anything, they were given the full
run of the house and could
basically do anything they pleased,
provided they spent an hour or so a
day helping Professor Perlman with
his correspondence and assorted
paperwork. Oliver manuscript was on
Heraclithus and already had found a
publisher in Italy for a translated
version. Elio’s father loved
nothing better than to have some
precocious rising expert in his
Some of the men look up and nod at OLIVER. A game is starting
at one of the tables and OLIVER is asked to join. He sitsdown to play.
