The trailer for Luca Guadagnino’s Queer dropped today. Based on a novel by William S. Burroughs, the film stars Daniel Craig as William Lee. (Lee, of course, was Burroughs by any other name,) After a drug bust, Lee heads down to Mexico and become infatuated with a drug-addicted former serviceman (played by Drew Starkey).
I’ve never really forgiven Guadagnino for his Suspiria remake and I think he’s a fairly overrated filmmaker but Queer has been getting a lot attention on the festival circuit and Daniel Craig has been getting a lot of Oscar buzz for his performance in the lead role. So, we’ll see. Here’s the trailer!
