Queer is a period romantic drama based on William S. Burroughs' novella. Set in 1950s Mexico City, the film follows William Lee, portrayed by Daniel Craig, an American expatriate grappling with heroin addiction and his sexuality. Lee becomes infatuated with Eugene Allerton, played by Drew Starkey, a younger American. Their complex relationship leads them on a journey to South America in search of the mythical drug yagé, believed to grant telepathic abilities. The film delves into themes of unrequited love, addiction, and self-discovery. Premiering at the Venice International Film Festival, Queer received critical acclaim, particularly for Craig's performance, which was described as "mesmerizing" and "heartbreaking."
