In 1950s Mexico City, a forty-something American immigrant lives a solitary life in a small American community. However, the arrival of a young student inspires the man to finally make a meaningful connection with someone. It was ultimately Daniel Craig who convinced Luca Guadagnino to cast Drew Starkey after watching audition tapes with Guadagnino and telling him, “This is a movie.” This is the guy” after watching Starkey’s.. William Lee: Sit on your butt! Or what’s left of it after four years in the Navy. Featured on The Graham Norton Show: Daniel Craig/Nicola Coughlan/Jesse Eisenberg/Kieran Culkin/Flo (2024). The main reason is that the film was too abstract and stream-of-consciousness. The general meaning is to explore the loneliness of the queer heart, the difficulty of connecting with others, the pain of not being able to love, and the complex emotions of depression. But the performance technique is very consciousness-driven, especially the last 20 minutes, which contain almost no lines and are entirely used to express the inner world of the male protagonist through various blurs, hallucinations, and abstract art forms. Although I understood what the director wanted to express, the form of expression may not be acceptable to the audience, and I felt like leaving the stage at one point.
