In 1950s Mexico City, William Lee (Daniel Craig), outcast American expat, becomes increasingly infatuated with an elusive younger man while revelling in the city’s nightlife and colourful cast of characters.
From hip studio A24 and Oscar winning director Luca Guadagnino (I Am Love, Call Me By Your Name & Challengers), based on the novel by William Burroughs, Daniel Craig gives us a dissolute love-struck soak in a formidable performance as far from James Bond as is imaginable. Equally giving it her all, Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread, Moonflower Murders, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris) is in barnstorming form as a pharmacologist whose as lost in her own mind as the jungle she scowers for hallucinogenics…
Sexy, weird, trippy and gorgeous to look at, it’s another wild treat from director Guadagnino hotly tipped for Oscar/Bafta attention in the New Year.
