Queer is a 2024 period romantic drama directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name, Bones and All), based on the groundbreaking 1985 novella by William S. Burroughs. Starring Daniel Craig in a daring and transformative role, alongside Drew Starkey, Lesley Manville, and Jason Schwartzman, the film brings to life the intoxicating allure and emotional complexity of 1950s Mexico City.

The story follows Lee, a disenchanted American expat fleeing a troubled past, as he becomes consumed by his obsession with Allerton, a young Navy veteran and fellow outsider. Amidst smoky jazz clubs and the city’s vibrant but shadowy underbelly, their relationship unfolds, blending desire, addiction, and self-destruction.

Queer premiered to critical acclaim at the prestigious 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the coveted Golden Lion. The film also earned a spotlight at the 62nd New York Film Festival, cementing its status as one of 2024’s most anticipated cinematic achievements. Distributed by A24, the film has sparked international conversations about censorship, art, and Burroughs’ legacy.

Don’t miss this bold and visually stunning adaptation of a literary classic, hailed as “a masterpiece of longing and liberation.”
