Daniel Craig's violent gay sex scenes
in Queer may shock and disturb fans of the James Bond film, and rumors
about the video are rife on the Lido at the Venice Film Festival
before the film opens on Tuesday. Five times in 007 Daniel Craig is the star of the film, which was directed by Luca
Guadagnino, the industry favorite. It stars Craig as American exile and war veteran
William Lee, who has a romance with a younger man, Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey), a drug addict and
recently released Navy serviceman. It is based on William Burroughs' semiautobiographical
novella about compulsive passion. After first rejecting Lee's approaches, Allerton finally gives in. In one especially
candid encounter, Craig engages in oral sex. It's really explicit and much different from Bond,
someone tells me. Craig is excellent in the movie. Alberto Barbera, the head of the Venice Film
Festival, stated that he thinks Craig had "the performance of a lifetime" in Queer " and
that he would be shocked if the British actor wasn't present at the Academy
Awards the following year. Craig had "a couple of sex scenes that are
quite full-on," Barbera said to a journalist. Guadagnino stated in an interview that "Queer will be my most personal film." It's an
homage to Pressburger and Powell. "The Red Shoes is a film I've
seen at least fifty times, and I believe they would enjoy Queer's
many, highly scandalous sex scenes." Although written between 1951 and 1953,
the novella wasn't released until 1985. A significant portion of it was composed following
the passing of Burroughs' spouse Joan Vollmer, whom he shot in the head during
a Mexico City drinking party. At the moment, their four-year-old kid was
present in the room. Burroughs initially said he was attempting to shoot a glass off
her head in the manner of William Tell, but he later claimed the gun misfired. He fled to the United States and was found
guilty of homicide while he was away. These days, 56-year-old Craig resides primarily in New York with actress Rachel
Weisz and their young daughter. Despite acting for over 30 years, he
has never been nominated for an Oscar. In addition to the James Bond movies, he starred
in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Layer Cake. Wake Up, Dead Man, the third installment
in the hugely popular Knives Out series, just wrapped up production. Italian Guadagnino, 53, is well-known
for his roles in Bones And All, Challengers, and Call Me By Your Name.
