Andrew Garfield has opened up about Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey’s highly anticipated film Queer. Over the last few months, LGBTQIA+ movie enthusiasts have anxiously awaited the release of Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming movie.
Set in the 1940’s, Queer follows Lee (Craig) as he flees a drug bust in New Orleans. He wanders the bars and clubs of Mexico City, where he becomes infatuated with Starkey’s character, a discharged serviceman from the American Navy.
Based on William S. Burrough’s 1985 short novel of the same name, which explores themes such as homosexuality, sex and drug abuse, the film also stars Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville, Henry Zaga, Drew Droege, Ariel Schulman and Omar Apollo in his acting debut.
While there is still no word when Queer will be released to the general public, the film has already made waves in the festival circuit and with members of the acting community, like Garfield.
