Hull Independent Cinema presents
Queer (18)
The acclaimed latest from Luca Guadagnino (Challengers, Call Me By Your Name), QUEER is a lush, sensuous adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ cult novel, featuring a deeply moving and mesmeric central performance from Daniel Craig.
1950. William Lee (Craig), an American expat in Mexico City, spends his days almost entirely alone, except for a few contacts with other members of the small American community. His encounter with Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey), an expat former soldier, new to the city, shows him, for the first time, that it might be finally possible to establish an intimate connection with somebody.
Written by Justin Kuritzkes (Challengers), scored by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, and realised with impeccable production design, imagery and Jonathan Anderson’s sumptuous costumes, QUEER is a sensuous 1950s romance of desire and longing.
