Pondering watching Queer soon and am thinking of when I saw Naked Lunch in the cinema as a teenager. I knew nothing about Burroughs but had seen some Cronenberg horror on BBC2’s Moviedrome and knew Peter Weller from Robocop so it seemed a safe bet. Blew my mind and changed everything. I wonder if kids who know Guadagnino from his films with Timmy Chalamet and recognise James Bond will take a punt and have a similar experience with this.
