look at Oliverâs face (when Elio begins the game) âWe almost had sex last nightââŠ.Â
and then he SMIRKS, totally rubbing it in, âMarzi and meâÂ
and being the cocky lil shit he is, purposely throws the newspaper on him, emphasizing that was definitely for Oliverâs ears and not his dads (âpower regainedâ)
(âŠthat is, until Oliver plays him back 10 minutes later)
What I find so interesting in this scene is that Elio first just says he almost had sex, and only in the next sentence specifies it was with a girl – as it he was just teasing Oliver into guessing how he swung with the first remark, only to deliver the blow with the second sentence: With a GIRL! Now swallow that, Americano!
To which Oliver reacts by snogging Chiara right in front of Elio again later that morning.
What I find even more interesting is Olivers face when Elio says âweâ. The turn of the head and stopping of chewing.
It totally sounds like Elio is talking to his father about them until he clarifies Marzia.
Yes, 6! When he says âweâ itâs like you can hear Oliverâs heart drop to his stomach in disbelief. This scene is amazing.
