The new film 'Queer', directed by Luca Guadagnino of 'Call Me By Your Name' fame, is drawing attention as the latest project from A24, a frontrunner in global art cinema.
Set in 1950s Mexico City, 'Queer' follows the story of Lee, a writer who indulges in drugs and alcohol, as he falls for the beautiful young Eugene, marking the beginning of a love epilogue. The film, which is Daniel Craig's first queer movie, known for the 007 series, has sparked interest. The collaboration between director Luca Guadagnino and A24 promises a high-quality cinematic experience.
Since its establishment in 2012, A24 has consistently produced and distributed films with a unique style and original narratives, such as 'The Brutalist', 'Talk to Me', 'Aftersun', 'Hereditary', and 'The Florida Project', earning the trust of audiences worldwide.
A24, known for changing the paradigm of art cinema with its distinctive works, is now distributing Luca Guadagnino's new work 'Queer', known for 'Call Me By Your Name', 'Challengers', and 'Bones and All', sparking conversation once again.
A highly anticipated film among cinephiles, 'Queer' tells the story of Lee, a writer living a meaningless life in Mexico City, and the beautiful young Eugene, who captures his heart at first sight.
Directed by Luca Guadagnino, 'Queer' boasts a strong production team, including cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom of 'Call Me By Your Name' and Jonathan Anderson, a former creative director for the fashion brand Loewe and recently appointed creative director for Dior Homme, contributing to the costume design.
The film features a groundbreaking performance by Daniel Craig, beloved worldwide for the '007' series, and Drew Starkey's perfect portrayal of the mysterious young Eugene. Their chemistry is expected to leave a lasting impression on audiences.
