Transforming Daniel Craig Into a Very Grimy William Burroughs in Queer'
Briefly

Queer is a tale of misplaced affection featuring Daniel Craig as Lee, a drug-addled older man caught in a passionate yet destructive love affair in 1950s Mexico.
The film's visual authenticity extends to its costume design, with mud-caked outfits reflecting the gritty realism of Lee and Allerton's journey through the South American jungle.
Luca Guadagnino emphasized the importance of authenticity in Queer's costumes, stating his disdain for films that look unnaturally clean, reminiscent of real-life dirtiness.
The character of Lee serves as a thinly veiled representation of William S. Burroughs, with a significant focus on the era's fashion and cultural nuances.
