Luca Guadagnino Unveils Stunning Character Posters for 'Queer'
Renowned director Luca Guadagnino, celebrated for his film Call Me by Your Name, has revealed visually striking character posters for his upcoming movie, Queer. Released on May 22, the posters showcase the film's unique aesthetic and emotional depth.
Set in 1950s Mexico City, Queer tells the poignant love story of a writer named Lee, who becomes enamored with a beautiful young man named Eugene amidst a backdrop of drug and alcohol-fueled excess. The character posters highlight the film's distinctive visual style, featuring vibrant colors and innovative compositions that capture its essence.
The first poster features Daniel Craig as William Lee, standing in front of a small shop in Mexico City. Dressed in a black shirt and a fedora, his poised silhouette conveys a strong presence, while the serene background enhances the overall impact. His gaze and subtle gestures suggest an underlying tension, adding depth to his calm demeanor.
The second poster showcases Drew Starkey as Eugene Allerton, standing on a sunlit hill. Clad in swimwear and holding a camera, he exudes a carefree and lively spirit. His relaxed posture and focused gaze create a captivating atmosphere, drawing viewers in under the expansive sky.
The contrasting settings and moods of the two characters leave a lasting impression, sparking curiosity about how their paths will intersect. The restrained color palette and minimalist design of the posters further emphasize the film's delicate emotional landscape, heightening anticipation for the stunning visuals that will unfold on screen.
Queer is particularly noteworthy as it marks the latest project from Luca Guadagnino, the director who propelled Timothée Chalamet to stardom with Call Me by Your Name. Guadagnino also received acclaim last year for his film Challengers, featuring Zendaya Coleman.
The film is set to hit theaters on June 20.
