Slow first-half, heartbreaking in the second
For fans of Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise/Sunset series, Call Me By Your Name definitely has the same tone and visual style. Focusing on an unknown northern Italian landscape, the audience is taken on a journey in this coming of age film, in which 17-year-old Elio welcomes an American houseguest for the summer, and it is apparent that he begins to develop feelings for him.

From denial and hatred, to jealousy and love, Elio is portrayed as a clearly complex teenager in the sense that he is more withdrawn than his peers, infatuated with his music. But it is soon obvious why he feels like an outsider and misunderstood. On the other hand, Oliver, a charming and confident archaeologist, appears to be playing games at first only to reveal his mutual love in return. The last scene is heartbreaking when the reality dawns on them both.

The first half is definitely slow-paced, the build-up may have taken a little too long, because by the time the relationship develops, most of the film has passed. But in the meanwhile, we explore the sights and sounds of rural Italy, which is utterly glorious. The language and cultural exchange is exquisite and Elio's parents are to be hailed as truly inspiring. It is bittersweet, yet realistic.

Eat, Pray, Love is the story of one woman's journey through Italy, India and Indonesia in a quest to find peace, harmony, and to become a better person. She takes a year to make this journey. Starting in Italy to eat amazing food and to learn to speak Italian. In India she visited an ashram and met her guru. In Bali, Indonesia, she is returning to see Katut, a medicine man she had met before an had told her that she would return to Bali and teach him English.

Elizabeth Gilbert is one brave lady. First, to be able to dedicate a year of your life to traveling the world. Making stops in places where you don't know anyone or even speak the language.. It sounds like an amazing time.

I had seen the movie when it was first released, but didn't know there was a book as well. I try to read the book before the movie as much as possible. This has been on my library wish list for a while. When it finally became available I couldn't wait to listen to it. Having it being read by the author herself made it that much more enjoyable. It made me feel as though I was there with her. Tasting food in Italy, doing hours of meditation in India, and even more in Indonesia.

Juliet Carina is a singer-songwriter from Brooklyn, New York. Not too long ago, she released a music video for her “Psycho but Ya Love It” single.

“This collaboration was the brainchild of Cindy Valentine. But while in the studio working with her, I kept whispering something that sounded like ‘Psycho’ and we were laughing at how crazy we both are when we work together that we thought why not. Niko the kid, came next and while in LA with him, the laughs kept coming and that’s when Cindy decided we needed an Indian chant. So, she jumped on the mic and was possessed by a past life. For the bridge, I channeled my nasty alter ego and was petrified but encouraged to go for it.” – Juliet Carina

‘Psycho but Ya Love It’ contains a relatable storyline, pleasing vocals, and lush instrumentation flavored with a commercial-pop aroma.

“I had so much fun with this project that I really hope people love it as much as I do!” – Juliet Carina

Juliet Carina is from a diverse background. Her mother is of Italian descent and her father is Chinese.

With that dynamic combo, you can’t help but see that Juliet’s look is unique with the best of both worlds. But above all, she has a lot of talent and ambition.
