IFC – QUEER

Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name, Challengers) and screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes (Challengers) reunite for QUEER, an adaptation of William Burroughs’ complex novella of a lonely man’s search for connection.

1950. William Lee, 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, 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.

“Craig is impossible to look away from; his bouts of desperation and all-consuming yearning command your attention at every turn in a way that feels both highly manicured yet totally disheveled.” – Chicago Reader
