In 1950 Mexico City, an American immigrant in his 40s lives a lonely life in a small American community. However, the arrival of a young student prompts the man to finally establish a meaningful relationship with someone. It was Daniel Craig who finally convinced Luca Guadagnino to hire Drew Starkey after he watched Guadagnino’s audition tapes and said “This.” is a guy" after seeing Starkey.. William Lee: Get on your ass! Or what’s left of her after four years in the Navy… Featured on The Graham Norton Show: Daniel Craig/Nicola Coughlan/Jesse Eisenberg/Kieran Culkin/Flo (2024). I’ve never seen The Empty Lunch (1991), but I found myself thinking about it often during a screening of 'Queer' at the 2024 London Film Festival: probably to be expected as William S Burroughs provided the source material for both films. In the 1950s' México, William Lee, an American writer from the wrong side of the…forties? Fifty? He spends his days getting drunk, shooting, and occasionally having sex with other men. One day, a muscular and smart young man, Eugene, walks into the bar and Lee is delighted. But what does Eugene himself want? Plus there’s that telepathic drug to think about… I’m not sure what director Luca Guadagnino is trying to achieve stylistically with this film. The sets are decorated almost exclusively in block colors – dull reds and olive greens, for example – and have that vaguely unrealistic, clean, Technicolor look that made me think the intention was to pay homage to the films of the era in which the film is set. . But if that’s the case, why the definitive non-1950s rock and techno soundtrack? Daniel Craig (is it my imagination or is he starting to look like Sid James?) is hamstrung in the lead role because he has to constantly recite gibberish in an accent that clearly isn’t his. Drew Starkey can give a more subtle performance as the manipulator Eugene, and he certainly looks classy. Lesley Manville is unrecognizable as a doctor living in the South American jungle – kudos to the makeup team! This is the kind of film that seems to me to be more about art style than storytelling content. It was okay to see it once, but I won’t forget it.
