Get Ready For ‘Queer’

In Luca Guadagnino’s latest film, Queer, the iconic director brings us a gritty tale of passion, obsession, and self-discovery against the vibrant backdrop of 1950s Mexico City. Based on William S. Burroughs’ novel, Queer follows William Lee (Daniel Craig), an American expat living a solitary life among an eccentric crowd.

Everything changes when Lee becomes captivated by Eugene Allerton, a young American played by Outer Banks star Drew Starkey. This complicated relationship takes them on a journey through Mexico and South America, a turbulent path that unearths Lee’s buried desires and struggles with identity.

Watch the First Queer Trailer

In the first trailer for Queer, Craig and Starkey light up 1950s Mexico City with a whirlwind of chaos, adventure, and forbidden desire. The trailer teases moments of longing and intense chemistry as the two leads traverse the city in a haze of lust and passion, their characters exuding style—even behind their vintage glasses. Expect scenes filled with raw emotion and a touch of danger, capturing a world where love feels both exhilarating and forbidden.

From Director Luca Guadagnino

Known for pushing boundaries in queer storytelling, Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name) has injected Queer with his signature style and lush visuals. From steamy club scenes to tense jungle encounters, the film is as atmospheric as it is provocative. But it’s Daniel Craig’s performance that is stealing the spotlight—delivering a portrayal that’s raw, unhinged, and unforgettable. Craig’s Lee is a man driven to the edge of his own sanity by love, in a quest that’s both romantic and deeply flawed​

With Guadagnino’s vision and A24’s distribution, Queer promises a fresh and intense addition to LGBTQ+ cinema.

Set to hit select theaters on November 27, Queer is sure to resonate with audiences looking for a raw, unapologetic exploration of queer identity and longing.
