TL;DR: In 'Queer', Daniel Craig ditches his James Bond persona to play Lee, an American in 1950s Mexico City, who becomes obsessed with a younger man named Eugene. The film dives deep into themes of desire and identity, showcasing Craig's stellar performance.
Hey movie buffs! 🎥 Guess what? Daniel Craig, our very own 007, has taken a wild turn in his acting journey! In the latest flick 'Queer', streaming now on MUBI, he plays Lee, an American living it up in 1950s Mexico City. 🇲🇽
Lee's life is all about partying hard, meeting new people, and chilling with his buddy Joe (played by Jason Schwartzman). But things get spicy when he meets Eugene (Drew Starkey). Lee can't help but wonder, "Is Eugene into guys too?" 🤔
The movie, based on William S. Burroughs' novella, dives into Lee's intense crush on Eugene. It's like watching a teenager's first love story, but with the twist of an older guy chasing after someone younger. 🍦
As the story unfolds, Lee convinces Eugene to join him on a trip to South America in search of a special plant called ayahuasca. This journey changes the vibe of the movie, adding a trippy element to their relationship. 🌿
Visually, 'Queer' is a treat! 🎨 The film's look is inspired by classics like 'Querelle' and 'Happy Together', giving it a dreamy feel. The music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, especially the track 'Pure Love', perfectly captures Lee's feelings. 🎶
While the movie has its ups and downs, Daniel Craig's performance is top-notch. He shows us a side we've never seen before, making Lee both charming and annoying, funny and sad. It's a role that proves Craig's versatility as an actor. 🌟
