Watch: First trailer drops for Daniel Craig's new gay romance film Queer
A24 has released the official trailer for Queer, the highly-anticipated new film by Academy Award-nominated director Luca Guadagnino, set to hit Irish cinemas on December 13, 2024.
This latest work from the visionary director behind Call Me By Your Name and Bones and All dives into the complexities of queer love, alienation, and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of 1950s Mexico City.Based on the novel by William S.
Burroughs, Queer tells the story of William Lee (Daniel Craig), who drifts through life in self-imposed isolation. Living a solitary existence consumed by an inner loneliness, he is disrupted by the arrival of Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey), a fellow American and former soldier who also seems to be seeking something indefinable in this foreign city.Allerton’s appearance stirs something new within Lee.
As their relationship deepens, Lee begins to confront his own desires and the fragility of intimacy in a society that neither understands nor embraces it.The trailer itself sets us up for the relationship between the two, hinting at explicit intimate scenes.
