Daniel Craig's latest film, 'Queer,' premiered at the Venice Film Festival, showcasing a stark departure from his iconic James Bond role. Directed by Luca Guadagnino and adapted from William S. Burroughs' unfinished novel, the film explores the life of William Lee, a drug-addicted American expatriate in 1950s Mexico, who forms a complex relationship with a younger bisexual man. Despite its explicit content, Guadagnino believes Craig's performance is career-defining, with festival director Alberto Barbera praising it as courageous in today's context. The film, which is in competition for the prestigious Golden Lion award, has generated significant buzz and is anticipated to be a standout indie release. Craig's dedication to the role included dance classes with his co-star Drew Starkey to enhance their chemistry. A24 will distribute 'Queer' in U.S. theaters later this year, marking it as one of the most discussed films of the festival.
