Queer

Luca Guadagnino (Challengers, Call Me By Your Name) transports us to Mexico City in the 1940s with his adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical novel.

Daniel Craig dazzles as William Lee, an outcast American expat who becomes infatuated with an elusive younger man while living in Mexico City. He also revels in the city’s nightlife and its colourful, larger-than-life characters. Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville and impressive newcomer Drew Starkey populate Guadagnino’s richly evocative and sensual film, which features a typically immersive score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. 

Our 7.30pm screening on Tue 17 Dec will be introduced by Graham Caveney, author of The Priest They Called Him: The Life and Legacy of William S. Burroughs.
