Omar Apollo hits back against critics upset over his NSFW promo post for Queer. On 14 January, Luca Guadagnino’s gay drama was finally available for rent or purchase on various streaming platforms.
Based on William S Burrough’s 1985 short novel of the same name, the drama follows Lee ( Daniel Craig), an American expat who flees to Mexico following a drug bust in New Orleans.
While in Mexico City, he becomes infatuated with Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey), a young discharged serviceman from the American Navy.
In addition to Craig and Starkey, Queer features Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville, Henry Zaga, Drew Droege, Ariel Schulman and the acting debut of singer-songwriter Omar Apollo.
