Raul Oguz asked this question about Call Me by Your Name:
Why did Elio feel regret and remorse after sleeping with Oliver? He wanted him away and he didn't want to see him. Of course that changes but I was curious as if that was because he loved Oliver and then he realised that the sex was not what he just wanted

He had this undeniable physical and mental pull to be with Oliver, but life isn't lived in a bubble so he was also finding things out with Marzia. But why oh why did he have sex with Marzia after getting the note back from Oliver that he would see him at midnight? That was a deliberate set of choices he made. I think it all just makes him a very complicated young man trying to figure out his place in life, yet still open to many paths. Meanwhile, Oliver doesn't have the same freedoms as Elio which puts them into the "star crossed lovers" category. It's just that they don't die, but they have to find a way to mourn and make a less passionate choice just like Elio's father. (less)
