Ivory has spoken in the past about wishing the film had included full-frontal nudity, but Guadagnino defended the choice by calling the nude scenes “irrelevant”.
The Oscar-winning screenwriter for Call Me By Your Name has said he isn’t happy with director Luca Guadagnino’s explanation for why there is no full-frontal nudity in the film.
James Ivory reiterated in an interview with the Guardian that his original script included nudity for Elio [Timothee Chalamet] and Oliver [Armie Hammer[.
Ivory responded: “When Luca says he never thought of putting nudity in, that is totally untrue.
