After I indulged in languorous caress of the film (my most favorite in 2017), wish la dolce vita never end, to relive in the book. I intentionally slowed down the reading pace, more sittings than usual to prolong...the comedic effects provoked in film are in full disclosure in Elio’s monologue. Moreover layers of inner turmoils thrashed them and me up and down, till final chapter - Ghost Spots, to epic level, which had not experienced in the film. Oliver became mysterious in the book. Vimini, an omitted character in the film, transmitted messages between two lovers, as well as the now and future. Roman night of The San Clemente Syndrome, appeared to be a distraction(is bohemian style the essence to impress?) to me, though the plot had intention to illuminate. But I hate to be in disagreement with them on their best time together. To say, it’s the most beautiful romance I’ve ever read, doesn’t do its justice.
