In the 1950s in Mexico City, an American immigrant in his forties lives a lonely life in a small American community. However, the arrival of a young student finally inspires a man to have a meaningful relationship with someone. It was Daniel Craig who convinced Luca Guadagnino to take on the role of Drew Starkey after watching Guadagnino’s audition tapes, seeing Starkey and saying, “There he is, man. “William Lee: Sit on your ass! Or what was left of him after four years of service in the navy. The Graham Norton Show Starring: Daniel Craig/Nicola Coughlan/Jesse Eisenberg/Kieran Culkin/Flo (2024). I have never watched Naked Dinner. (1991) But I often thought about it during the screening of Queer at the 2024 London Film Festival: this was probably to be expected, since William S. Burroughs provided the source material for both films. In Mexico in the 1950s, the American writer William Lee… forty? Fifty years? He spends his time drinking, shooting and having casual sex with other men. One day, Eugene, a muscular, intelligent young man, enters the bar, and Lee is shocked. But what does Eugene himself want? Plus you have to think about the telepathic drug… Stylistically, I don’t quite understand what director Luca Guadagnino is trying to achieve with this film. The sets are done in almost monochrome colors — dark red and olive green, for example — and have that slightly unrealistic, clean, bright look that I thought was supposed to pay homage to the era the film is set in. But if that’s the case, why doesn’t the rock and techno soundtrack match the 1950s? Daniel Craig (I think, or is he starting to look like Sid James?) is hindered by the fact that he has to constantly utter nonsense in the main role, and with an accent that is clearly not his. Drew Starkey is able to subtly play the role of Eugene’s manipulator and certainly looks up to his training for the role. Leslie Manville is unrecognizable in the role of a doctor living in the South American jungle – kudos to the make-up team! I believe that in such films the artistic style is more important than the essence of the narrative. You can watch it once, but I won’t watch it again.
