After months of buzz and tempting trailers, the Queer Australian premiere is here, held at the stunning Westpac OpenAir Sydney at Mrs Macquaries Point.
Adapted from William S. Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical novel, this stunning period piece brings 1950’s Mexico City to life through the eyes of William Lee (Daniel Craig), an isolated 40-something American expat.
When William meets Eugene (Drew Starkey), his life is turned upside-down as Eugene tries to draw Lee out of his self-imposed isolation.
Brought to you by writer Justin Kuritzkes and director Luca Guadagnino, the team behind 2024’s Challengers, Queer has already bagged Daniel Craig a slew of nominations. It’s a performance praised by John Waters as one that “may be queerbait for taking on the gay beatnik role of William Burroughs’s alter ego, but I’m all for it.”
