In the adaptation of William S. Burroughs' novella 'Queer,' Daniel Craig plays William Lee, an American alcoholic and heroin addict living in 1950s Mexico City, who becomes infatuated with a much younger fellow expatriate.
Daniel Craig is back on the big screen – not as 007, or the smooth Southern private investigator in the 'Knives Out' movies, but in the movie 'Queer,' directed by Luca Guadagnino. Craig plays William Lee, an American living in 1950s Mexico City, who becomes infatuated with Eugene Allerton, another much younger expatriate .In one tender and poignant scene, a translucent image of Lee is seen leaning over towards Allerton. 'The sort of invisible hand,' Craig described it.
He found out later that, as a young woman, she had been accepted into the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, one of the world's great acting schools. 'Yeah, she was, and she hadn't told me,' Craig said. 'But they couldn't afford to go, so she had to go home, and went to art college instead up North.'He was moved once he found out: 'She's always encouraged me. I mean, she sort of gently kicked me out the door, to say, 'Go, get on with it.
