Queer
I'm not Queer, I'm disembodied.
Directed by Luca Guadagnino
Produced by Fremantle, The Apartment Pictures
A melancholic, surreal character study of desire and addiction set in 1950s Mexico City, where an aging American's yearning for connection with a younger man becomes entangled with drugs, loneliness, and the impossibility of true intimacy.
In 1950s Mexico City, William Lee, an American ex-pat in his late forties, leads a solitary life amidst a small American community. However, the arrival in town of Eugene Allerton, a young student, stirs William into finally establishing a meaningful connection with someone.
