Daniel Craig and Luca Guadagnino decipher 'Queer's trippy, tragic ending, which references the life of William S. Burroughs.
Nick is an entertainment journalist based in New York, NY. If you like pugs and the occasional blurry photo of an action figure, follow him on Twitter @NickARomano., the unfinished, semi-autobiographical novella published in 1985, picks up two years after expat William Lee travels with his younger lover, Eugene Allerton, into South America to find the psychotropic drug yage, otherwise known as ayahuasca. Lee returns to Mexico City, where the story began.
Craig interprets that ending slightly differently with each new viewing. “The movie is this fever dream, this alternative reality that we're in all through the beginning of the movie into the quest to South America,” the actor tells. “The imagery is crucial for any Burroughs fan; those people will pick up on the meaning. Every sequence is beautifully relevant, mainly because Luca directed it, but it also is something about where the rest of his life is, pre-Allerton and then post-Allerton.
"It's such a deep feeling that I feel watching at the end," Craig remarks. "It encompasses so much of Burroughs' loneliness, his searching, his constant questioning, and then it just boils down to love. We invented this , that's the one thing in his life that meant the most to him. So that's what he was feeling as he passes at the end."."Door's already open. Can't close it now," she says.
