A lot of people love "Call Me by Your Name," but few love it as much as Zineb Bayad.
The French university student made a pilgrimage to the Italian town of Crema, where the movie is set. Based on research for her trip, she visited the real-life places from the film and matched up stills to the scenery. Her photos went viral in cinephile circles when she posted them to Twitter on Thursday.
"I always wanted to visit it and the movie motivated me even more," Bayad told INSIDER in a Twitter direct message. "I start school on the 29th, so I decided to take a one-week vacation."

"The movie was an ethereal experience and I truly believe I will never forget it," Bayad told INSIDER. "So I thought about creating more memories around it."
"This movie has helped me so much, first because of its lesson about love and self acceptance. It helped me to embrace my sexuality and take my mind away during some hard times."
"I did a lot of research on the spot, like [where] the villa is," Bayad wrote. "I was really excited to go."
