In 1950s Mexico City, an American immigrant in his forties leads a lonely life in a small American community. However, the arrival of a young student prompts the man to finally make a meaningful connection with someone… Daniel Craig eventually convinced Luca Guadagnino to cast Drew Starkey after watching Guadagnino’s audition tapes and, upon seeing Starkey, said “There he is”. William Lee: Get on your ass! Or what’s left of it after four years in the Navy.. The Graham Norton Show: Daniel Craig/Nicola Coughlan/Jesse Eisenberg/Kieran Culkin/Flo (2024). I’ve never seen Naked Dinner (1991), but I thought about it often during the screening of Queer at the 2024 London Film Festival: perhaps this was to be expected, as William S. Burroughs provided the source material for both films. In 1950s Mexico, William Lee, an American writer just shy of… forty? Fifty? He spends his days getting drunk, partying, and having casual sex with other men. One day, a muscular, smart, and handsome young man named Eugene walks into a bar, and Lee falls in love. But what does Eugene want? Plus, there’s this telepathic drug to think about… I’m not sure what director Luca Guadagnino is trying to achieve stylistically with this film. The scenes are shot almost entirely in blocky colors—like dull reds and olive greens—and have that vaguely unrealistic, clean, colorful look that makes me think the film was intended to pay homage to the films of the era in which it’s set. But if that’s the case, why isn’t there a 1950s rock and techno soundtrack? Daniel Craig (I think, or is he starting to resemble Sid James?) is shackled in the lead role, constantly reciting nonsense in an accent that is clearly not his own. Drew Starkey is able to give a more subtle performance as Eugene’s manipulator and certainly looks like a cool guy. Leslie Manville is unrecognizable as a doctor living in the South American jungle – a well-done make-up artist! This is the kind of film that impresses me more with its artistic style than its narrative content. It was worth watching once, but I won’t watch it again.
