A24 has released the trailer for Queer, starring Daniel Craig and Outer Banks breakout Drew Starkey. The film is directed by Luca Guadagnino, famously known for Call Me By Your Name and most recently Challengers. Adapted from Justin Kuritzkes’ screenplay, the film is set for a theatrical release beginning Nov. 27.

Queer, based on the semi-autobiographical novel by William Burroughs, is set in 1940s Mexico City and follows William Lee (Craig), an American expat living mostly in isolation among American college students and bar owners. Lee becomes infatuated with Eugene Allerton (Starkey), a discharged American Navy serviceman and drug user who eventually becomes involved with Lee after initially showing indifference to his advances. Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville and Omar Apollo co-star.

The film had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Lion. It then screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival.

Guadagnino describes the film as “a very personal movie about the inescapable quest for being recognized in the gaze of another through the lens of the great William Burroughs.”

Variety film critic Owen Gleiberman hailed Queer as “bold and trippy” in his Venice review, sharing considerable praise for Craig: “… Craig gives us a pinch of that glowering Burroughs DNA, but the trick of his performance, which is bold and funny and alive, is that he’s playing the younger Burroughs (at the time, the author was around 40), before he’d passed through the looking glass of cultivated insanity to write his visionary novel of American chaos, Naked Lunch.”
