Academy Award nominee Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name, Challengers) delivers an unflinching and seductive adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ groundbreaking novella in QUEER, a provocative exploration of longing, identity, and self-destruction. Starring Daniel Craig in a career-defining performance racking up awards attention, this evocative period drama is a searing portrait of alienation and desire.Set in the vibrant yet volatile expat underworld of 1950s Mexico City, Craig stars as Lee, a disillusioned American grappling with his identity. Seeking solace in a haze of drugs and alcohol, Lee becomes infatuated with Eugene Allerton, a younger, enigmatic man who is both the object of his obsession and a mirror of his own fractured psyche. As their tenuous connection spirals into a tangled web of dependence and rejection, the film delves deeply into the complexities of desire, self-loathing, and the human need for connection.
