Queer18

Directed by Luca Guadagnino | USA | 2024 | 2h 17m | Starring Daniel Craig, Jason Schwartzman, Daan de Wit, Henrique Zaga, Colin Bates

Set in 1950s Mexico City, an American expatriate in his late forties lives a quiet, isolated life within a small American enclave. His world changes when a young student arrives, inspiring him to forge a meaningful human connection at last. Directed by Luca Guadagnino (Challengers, Call Me By Your Name), this lush and evocative adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ cult novel features a powerful, deeply moving performance by Daniel Craig.

Reviews

‘Queer doesn’t scrimp on provocation and pleasure, but it’s also a beautiful film about male loneliness, and the way a solitary life can so easily shade into a life sentence.’
★★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

‘Guadagnino has followed up this year’s triumphant tennis drama Challengers with a film that would seem miles apart, yet treats desire equally as a kind of supernatural possession.’
★★★★
Clarisse Loughery, The Independent

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
