“QUEER presents male desire as universal across ages and continents, staging a drama that is not only contemporary or modern, but classical, primordial.”

The new film from Luca Guadagnino (CHALLENGERS, CALL ME BY YOUR NAME) is a phantasmagoric journey through space, time, and sexuality.
In this faithful adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ autobiographical novel, William Lee (Daniel Craig), an American expat in Mexico City, spends his days almost entirely alone, except for a few contacts with other members of the small American community. His encounter with Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey) — an expat former soldier, new to the city — shows him, for the first time, that it might be finally possible to establish an intimate connection with somebody.
