Event Details


Be one of the first to witness Luca Guadagnino's (Call Me by Your Name, Challengers) unflinching and seductive adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ groundbreaking novella, Queer starring Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey, at a Festival Darling Preview!

This special preview includes a complimentary prosecco on arrival.

A provocative exploration of longing, identity, and self-destruction, this evocative period drama stars Daniel Craig in a career-defining performance racking up awards attention in a searing portrait of alienation and desire.

Set in the vibrant yet volatile expat underworld of 1950s Mexico City, Craig stars as Lee, a disillusioned American grappling with his identity. Seeking solace in a haze of drugs and alcohol, Lee becomes infatuated with Eugene Allerton (Starkey), a younger, enigmatic man who is both the object of his obsession and a mirror of his own fractured psyche. As their tenuous connection spirals into a tangled web of dependence and rejection, the film delves deeply into the complexities of desire, self-loathing, and the human need for connection.

With Guadagnino’s signature visual flair and a brilliant score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Queer captures the raw vulnerability of Burroughs’ prose while expanding it into a lush cinematic experience. A fearless and unrelenting look at the destructive power of love and the search for meaning in a world on the fringes, Queer is both a gripping character study and a timeless reflection on the universal longing to be seen.

Reviews


"... a beautiful film about male loneliness, and the way a solitary life can so easily shade into a life sentence."

- The Telegraph

" Daniel Craig is mesmerising in a swooning hymn to beauty."

- Financial Times

"Guadagnino has followed up this year’s triumphant tennis drama Challengers with a film that would seem miles apart, yet treats desire equally as a kind of supernatural possession."

- Independent UK

"Guadagnino’s filmmaking has never been more vivid."

- San Francisco Chronicle
