Venice is buzzing, and it’s all because of Daniel Craig’s bold role in Queer, directed by Luca Guadagnino. The movie is getting rave reviews for its emotional depth and Craig’s amazing performance. But what’s really making headlines? The shockingly explicit gay sex scenes have left critics talking.
In Guadagnino’s last film, Call Me By Your Name, many viewers were frustrated when the camera cut away during sex moments. In Queer, he playfully teases the audience by briefly panning to a window during a steamy scene, only to cut back to the action.
The movie follows Craig’s character, Bill Lee, a junkie in Mexico City. He’s obsessed with a Navy serviceman, played by Drew Starkey. Their relationship form the core of the story. But it’s the bold sex scenes that have everyone talking.
With full-frontal nudity and raw passion, the film holds nothing back. Even Omar Apollo has a naked scene, adding to the buzz.
Love it or hate it, Queer is making waves. And for those who loved Craig in Casino Royale, this film is a must-see!
