Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz made a stunning appearance at the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of Craig's new film, 'Queer,' directed by Luca Guadagnino. The film, based on William S. Burroughs' semi-autobiographical novella, features Craig as William Lee, a drug-addicted American expat who becomes infatuated with a younger man, played by Drew Starkey. 'Queer' has received rave reviews, particularly for its explicit gay love scenes and Craig's performance, which some critics describe as his best. The film garnered a nine-minute standing ovation at its premiere, and discussion about Craig's potential Oscar nod has begun. During the press tour, Craig addressed the realism of the love scenes and dismissed concerns about their explicit nature, emphasizing the authenticity they aimed for.
