Queer (2024) First Look | Luca Guadagnino | Release Date | Cast & Crew | Venice Film Festival
Luca Guadagnino's "Queer" has been selected for the New York Film Festival's spotlight gala. The romantic drama, starring Daniel Craig as an American expat in Mexico City who falls in love with a younger man, will have its U.S. premiere at Alice Tully Hall on Oct. 6.
“Luca Guadagnino is one of contemporary cinema’s most versatile filmmakers, and one of its greatest risk-takers,” said Dennis Lim, artistic director of the New York Film Festival. “‘Queer’ is his most fearless, inventive and surprising film, one that brings his subcultural world to life and creates the role of a lifetime for a terrific Daniel Craig.”
“Queer,” adapted from the novel by William S. Burrough, is written by Justin Kuritzkes and co-stars Drew Starkey, Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville, Michael Borremans, Andra Ursuta and David Lowery. The film will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
