Luca Guadagnino's "Queer" plunges into a labyrinth of addiction—not just to drugs but to unrequited love, showcasing the pain of longing without reciprocal emotion.
The film decisively captures the torment of William Lee's obsession with Eugene Allerton, proving that no amount of charm or substance can bridge the chasm of unfulfilled desire.
In a surreal narrative style reminiscent of works like "Synecdoche, New York", Guadagnino immerses viewers into Lee’s chaotic world, revealing his struggle against addiction and love's futility.
Burroughs’ poignant reflection on sadness—"How can a man who sees and feels be other than sad?"—encapsulates the film's essence, underscoring the depths of emotional despair.
