Queer (18)

★★★ If Daniel Craig was looking to put a bomb under the image he crafted across five James Bond movies, he more than manages that with his new film Queer. Lighting the fuse is Luca Guadagnino, the Italian director of the gay-themed masterpiece Call Me By Your Name. Here, he’s tackling William Burroughs's novel, written in the early 1950s but not published until 1985. ~ Radio Times.

From Academy Award winning director Luca Guadagnino, written by Justin Kuritzkes and based on the novel by William S. Burroughs, and starring Daniel Craig, Drew Starkey, Lesley Manville, and Jason Schwartzman.

Craig dazzles as William Lee, an ex-pat in 1950s Mexico City, leading a solitary life amidst a small American community.

The arrival in town of Eugene Allerton, a young student, stirs William into finally establishing a meaningful connection with someone. 

Luca Guadagnino adapts William S. Burroughs’s novel, crafting a universal love story with expressionistic flights of fancy, gratifying moments of psychedelic surrealism, and surprising tenderness.
