Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present various links between films and other arts. As a starting point the author has chosen presenting the theoretical base of the division of classical arts, their languages, materials and characters. Film is the youngest among the arts. Further, the text focuses on the problem of adaptation, in particular film adaptation. The ground thus laid allows to discuss the main topic of the paper: comparison of Call Me By Your Name the book by André Aciman and its film version of the same title directed by Luca Guadagnino. Comparative analysis is applied here to: literary and film narration, the autotelic nature of both works, the merging of literary and cinema worlds – with reference to both the novel and the film. A lot of space is devoted to the director’s attempts to enhance the aesthetic and erudite values of the work; the context for those aspects in the film are philosophy, painting and music. Besides the interdisciplinary character the paper also evokes the history of idea and the question of translation, though the latter in vestigial form, more to accentuate the problem than to make an attempt to deepen the explication.
