Synopsis

In 1950s Mexico City, an American ex-pat in his late forties leads a solitary life amidst a small American community. Daniel Craig was ultimately the one who convinced Luca Guadagnino to cast Drew Starkey after watching audition tapes with Guadagnino and telling him "That' s the guy" after seeing Starkey's.. Lee… I’m not queer.William Lee: I know.Eugene Allerton: I’m disembodied.. Features Orfej (1950).

Greetings again from the darkness

Some filmmakers have earned the benefit of the doubt to the point where each film they release is worthy of consideration. Luca Guadagnino is one such filmmaker. He first captured my attention with I AM LOVE (2009) and has since followed that with such interesting films as A BIGGER SPLASH (2015), CALL ME BY YOUR NAME (2017), SUSPIRIA (2018), BONES AND ALL (2022), and CHALLENGERS, his first film released in 2024. This time he and his CHALLENGERS screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes’ take on the 1985 William S Burroughs novella, "Queer" Taking on the writing of William S Burroughs is challenging enough as a reader, much less as a filmmaker.Daniel Craig stars as William Lee. If you are familiar with Burroughs' writing, then you are aware the character of William Lee shares many of the same personal attributes as Burroughs himself.

The film opens with Chapter 1: How do you like Mexico?

He's a gay man who drinks too much, does hard drugs, and is quite sexually promiscuous. Lee spends his time drinking non-stop and carousing for his next roll in the proverbial hay. He has a few fellow ex-pat friends, including Joe Guidry (Jason Schwartzman), but it's a certain cool cat that catches his eye. Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey) is a young ex-soldier and Lee is quickly enamored.The two hang out together, although Lee is never really certain if Eugene is gay or not since he spends much of his time playing chess with fellow bar patrons, Mary (Andrea Ursula). One night of passion between Lee and Eugene leads to Chapter 2: Travel Companions.

#39;s long struggle with loneliness becomes most apparent

The two men make their way to South America as their awkward relationship (and agreement) leads to more booze. Chapter 3: The Botanist in the Jungle is certainly one of the most bizarre segments of any movie this year, as the men hike deep into the jungle to connect with a doctor who has researched some 'vegetation' that may solve Lee's fascination/obsession with telepathy. There's no viable description for this segment, but kudos to anyone who recognizes Leslie Manville – the one who has a pet sloth and keeps a viper for home security. His time with Eugene provides home of a true, lasting relationship with something other than a bottle of tequila or a needle of heroin. Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey are both excellent here, and may each receive awards consideration.

If your previous exposure to Mr

Craig is through the James Bond movies, you might find this role a bit surprising, but those who have followed his career are in the know.Opening in theaters on December 6,
