Telepathic drugs, tender sex, and tequila—Guadagnino's latest beautiful nightmare
Luca Guadagnino’s Queer is a visually stunning, surreal exploration of love, desire, and the boundaries between fantasy and reality. Set against the backdrop of Mexico City, the film follows William Lee (Daniel Craig), an expat caught in a whirlwind of addiction, longing and obsession. His pursuit of a telepathic drug, paired with his intense connection to the enigmatic Eugene (Drew Starkey) spirals into a fever dream where the lines between the body and mind blur. Guadagino’s dreamlike direction, combined with hypnotic cinematography and a haunting score, creates a cinematic experience that mirrors the darkest corners of the human soul. A beautiful nightmare where love and control are both sought and lost.
