Queer

William Lee, an American living in Mexico in the 1950s, searches for relationships with younger men. Caught between passion and the quest for a soulmate, he is drawn to Eugene Allerton, though it's unclear if the feeling is mutual. Queer is Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of William Burroughs' seminal novel. Guadagnino takes this scandalous source material and transforms it into his own film, where his sensual cinematic style gradually grows more pronounced, reflecting the protagonist's desire for both a mental and physical union with the object of his longing.
