In this bold and evocative adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ seminal novel, Queer plunges audiences into the depths of longing, alienation, and self-discovery. Directed by visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, the story follows William Lee (Daniel Craig), a disaffected writer haunted by his troubled past and unfulfilled desires. Set in the sultry, decaying landscapes of 1950s Mexico City, Lee’s obsession with the elusive Allerton (Drew Starkey) —a magnetic younger man—drives him to navigate a world of broken connections, existential despair, and fleeting moments of beauty.
