But the arrival of a young student forces the man to finally have a meaningful connection with someone
Synopsis
In 1950s Mexico City, an American immigrant in his late 50s lives a lonely life in a small American community. Daniel Craig was the one who finally convinced Luca Guadagnino to play Drew Starkey after watching audition tapes with Guadagnino and telling him “That’s the guy” when he saw Starkey.

Or what’s left of her after four years in the Navy. Characteristics Orpheus (1950).
The chemistry in this film is unreal
What a beautiful film by Guadagnino about desire as something transcendent and at the same time a burden. A film that beautifully captures an almost supernatural eroticism in a rich story about bodies and touch.
I’m glad to see this film, but it’s not for everyone, especially those who don’t want to cover all the twists and turns of the narrative
With a mysterious ending and sex scenes that some wise people might find over the top, Guadagnino is one of the few big names in the industry who hasn’t abandoned lust as an instrument in his stories, and that’s a beautiful thing. “Queer” showcases, through sound design and hallucinatory imagery, a remarkable portrayal of how sex is such a powerful experience for humans and such an essential part of being human that it can’t be left out of stories for the sake of audience satisfaction.
“Queer” challenges you
The art direction and cinematography are excellent, with beautiful set design and great acting. Daniel Craig can break your heart while doing very little, and “Queer” feels like just another step in this new journey, along with “Knives Out,” for those who want to be more than just the iconic 007.
