In the 1950s in Mexico City, an American immigrant in his forties leads a lonely life in a small American community. However, the arrival of a young student encourages a man to finally start a serious relationship with someone. It was Daniel Craig who ultimately convinced Luca Guadagnino to take on the role of Drew Starkey after watching Guadagnino's audition tapes and telling him, โIs thisโฆ this man? seeing Starkey... William Lee: Sit on your ass! Or what's left of him after four years in the Navy... The Graham Norton Show Starring: Daniel Craig/Nicola Coughlan/Jesse Eisenberg/Kieran Culkin/Flo (2024). I have never watched Naked Dinner. (1991), but I often thought about it during the screening of Queer at the 2024 London Film Festival: this is probably to be expected, since William S. Burroughs provided the source material for both films. In the 1950s; Mexico, William Lee, an American writer in his...forties? fifty? He spends his days getting drunk, shooting and having casual sex with other men. One day, a muscular, smart young man named Eugene walks into the bar, and Lee falls in love with him. But what does Eugene himself want? Plus, there's this telepathic drug to think about... I don't quite understand what director Luca Guadagnino is trying to achieve stylistically with this film. The sets are done almost exclusively in blocky colors โ dull reds and olive greens, for example โ and have that slightly unrealistic, austere Technicolor look that made me think the intent was to pay homage to films of the era in which a film was shot. The action of the film unfolds. But if this is so, then why is the soundtrack clearly not in the style of rock and techno of the 50s? Daniel Craig (I think, or he's starting to look like Sid James?) struggled to cope with the main role, he constantly had to recite meaningless speeches with an accent that clearly did not belong to him. Drew Starkey is able to play the manipulative Eugene more subtly and certainly looks the part. Leslie Manville is unrecognizable in the role of a doctor living in the South American jungle - bravo to the make-up team! It seems to me that in this type of films more attention is paid to the artistic style than to the essence of the narrative. It was nice to watch it once, but I won't watch it again.
