@@bliss66 awwwww thank you so much. I’m glad you found my channel and you’re enjoying the venice coverage. Means a lot to me 🥰 what films are you excited to see form Venice? X
I knew this was going to be polarizing, as all Burroughs works are going to be so tricky to adapt. I do hope to see Craig get an Oscar nomination, but looks like Best Picture is probably a no. And that's okay. I'm still really looking forward to seeing it 😊
@@lostinthereel yeah I wa always concerned that the book being so controversial would translate into a challenging awards contender but Craig crushes it and that’s what we came for. Thanks for watching and commenting Shawn 🥰 Hope you’re keeping well. Are you off to TIFF this year? Xxx
To me, if a film like this wasn't called "divisive," something would be terribly wrong. It's because of the divisive nature that I'm so excited to see it! Lol!
As someone who has read the book it's great (to me at least) to hear that Luca has kept it as alienating and as abstract as the original text is, makes me very curious to see what he cooked up even more now lol. Also unrelated but did you see the Nightbitch trailer? I'll just say I was never predicting Amy Adams and for good reason 😂.
@@zachrincon327 it’s lovely cause guadignino actually has the title card in the film say “William s boroughs Queer” - what a class act to champion the author in your own movie like that. He must really love the book. As for nightbitch, not yet, I’ve been busy editing all afternoon and I know I’m gonna watch nb so I try not to watch trailers nowadays so I can go in as a blank slate 😁❤️ Thanks for watching and leaving your thoughts mate. Xx
It will be interesting to see whether Craig will become only the 2nd ever James Bond actor to be nominated for an acting Oscar, after Sean Connery (who WON on his only ever nomination (Best Supporting Actor for THE UNTOUCHABLES)).
The weirdness you described is very Burroughs, and just makes me want to see it more. As Bill Murray's character says at the end of Groundhog Day, "Anything different is good."
Did you watched Im Still Here? Is a Brazilian film that also premiered at Venice, I’m biased for being Brazilian but most of the reviews are praising Fernanda Torres’ performance and she’s a previous Best Actress winner at Cannes so everyone here in Brazil is getting hyped about her chances in the awards season (Specially since her mother Fernanda Montenegro was the first and still the only Brazilian actress to ever be nominated for best actress at the Oscars in 1999 for Central Station, and this film is from the same director Walter Salles)
You said that Allerton is very mysterious, but that’s exactly how he’s described in the book haha. He’s really quiet, you rarely know what he’s thinking, and I believe it’s intentional that we’re left puzzled by him.
As a William Burroughs fan I would say it's unlikely any film could do justice to him. I certainly didn't manage it with my short animated college film inspired by Junky!
@@johnnolan5579 my pleasure. Yeah it’s understandable because the book was quite controversial and there’s some stuff in here that a lot of people won’t see coming. But it’s certainly worth watching for Craig’s performance. X
I don’t know WHY anyone hasn’t made The Dancer from the Dance into a movie as of yet. I ❤️❤️💗💗 that book. Written in the 80’s/early 90’s about gay men in NYC in the 70’s early 80’s. It’s a hard read and a bitter sweet ending. It’s my autumn book to read every other year.
The reviews have been amazing so far, so I am surprised you said it was divisive. I have a strong feeling Daniel Craig will get the acting awards from this, just based on the tiny clip we've seen and the reviews so far. He'll get an Oscar nom, and probably win the BAFTA/ Challengers is being tipped for Oscars so Luca may have a good awards season!
Hi Luke, just come across your channel and I have to say I really like your delivery, I will subscribe and wanted to know something about Queer, I enjoyed your details about the whole film, take care 💙
@@ninocaruana945 yay! So glad you found the channel. Thanks for subscribing and for leaving such a comment. Do you have any questions about Queer? I can try answer them for ya. Xx
Do you think Craig has the volpi cup for best actor locked since it seems like the brutalist will win golden lion. I don’t see Phoenix winning or maybe Harris Dickinson for baby girl.
@@gabrielcastaneda9700 it’s tough to say. I think afraid certainly stands a chance of the Volpi cup because the film is a bit weird and Isabelle huppert and her jury might gravitate towards the weirder movies - so yeah he could win the Volpi cup. Adrien Brody is certainly in with a shot but it brutalist takes the golden lion then he can’t win the Volpi. Seeing Joker 2 tomorrow - will see if Joaquin or Gaga could threaten x
@@johnbruce-el8ld I am a very expressive person, I can’t help it. It’s how I communicate and express myself. Totally understand if I’m not your cup of tea though. Take care. X
Queer Sooo tradtional gays film. Film talk about gay man meet man and make love with him.. and seprate. Nothing new in this story. Film makers Still make gay life sooo shalllow. And they make oldfashioned story about romance btween gays... without big or new or deep supject of gays life. Queer One of the films make same this again and dont go far from this circle... Queer dont creative anything diffrent. So the film sooo normal.. Dont talk about gays problems. All of gays film tipical same. So i dont find it as your review Desearve oscar nomnation. Thank yoy for early review Becase i dont watch the trailer of film before. ♥❤♥❤♥
As always they love to see gay male characters suffer for entertainment and luca loves doing that which im not surprised about considering irl he is just your regular homophobic bisexual men who use gay men as emotional punching bags and the fact that whole world aside from a few gay men can’t see it is telling on the state of how acceptance to gay men is very limited, its like they have to pay for they joy. Even the fact that this title is a homophobic slur that everyone somehow feels comfortable using is significant. Can’t the character be gay without a story focusing on that to denigrate it.
Hopefully, someday Luca will release the 3 hour version! And of course an Oscar nom for Daniel!!
I am so here for the 3 hour cut of Queer. I hope we do get a directors cut someday. I’ll take anything that man makes. ❤
And hell yes, I am so hoping this is the role that bags Daniel Craig that first Oscar nomination. 🤞🏻😊🤞🏻 thanks for watching xx
Luke, just wanted to say your Venice coverage has been great! Very informative. Brand new fan, I'm hooked on this channel now. :) Much thanks.
@@bliss66 awwwww thank you so much. I’m glad you found my channel and you’re enjoying the venice coverage. Means a lot to me 🥰 what films are you excited to see form Venice? X
@@LukeHearfield Hey Luke! Really looking fwd to The Brutalist and Anora from Cannes. :)
I recommend reading the book. At 160 pages, it’s an easy read.
@@marcosmadeiros9553 I do kinda wanna read it. Do I need to read Junkie beforehand? X

Yes it doesn't look good. But Heller hasn't made a bad film yet so here's hoping it's good 🤞
Hey, buddy. I've watched three other "reviews" of this movie. Your handling of the process of critiquing is by far the best. I like you. Thanks!
The way you described it reminded me of Naked Lunch also written by Burroughs.
Also, happy to see the Oscar statue back together again 😂
@@nelg54 little bit of super glue goes a long way. 😁 she’s well travelled that statue. X
The greatest performance of a gay character on screen is Colin Firth's Single Man. Director Tom Ford ❤
That was incredible x
It will be interesting to see whether Craig will become only the 2nd ever James Bond actor to be nominated for an acting Oscar, after Sean Connery (who WON on his only ever nomination (Best Supporting Actor for THE UNTOUCHABLES)).
@@axr7149 yeah I would love to be able to finally love I’m a world where I can say “academy award nominee Daniel Craig” 😁 he’s phenomenal in this. X
Would love that ❤
@@moneypenny1267 you and me both hehehehe the movie is challenging but the performance from Craig is more than deserving 😁 x

Love to this project- Oscars please

@@Mateus-wk4nc that’s an excellent point. He was certainly mysterious and aloof so maybe that’s accurate to the book? 😊
A substance that opens up one's mind.... I mean he could've just smoked some weed lol
I was very much looking forward to this film so a little sad it will be “divisive” but I’ll still give it a go
As a William Burroughs fan I would say it's unlikely any film could do justice to him. I certainly didn't manage it with my short animated college film inspired by Junky!
Keep smashing it! Great Venice coverage Luke! I'm still a little skeptical about this film but you've made me a little more intrigued now!
This sounds incredible haha I’m so much more hyped now
william s burrough novels is all like this, currently read naked lunch the book too
I was so looking forward to this, and I will still see it, but with a bit of trepidation. Thanks for the review Luke!
@@johnnolan5579 my pleasure. Yeah it’s understandable because the book was quite controversial and there’s some stuff in here that a lot of people won’t see coming. But it’s certainly worth watching for Craig’s performance. X
@@LukeHearfield Just read a rave review on Deadline.
What festival wld this be shown at next, any in London or are there any screenings
it's in the LFF lineup

Wow I just found your chanel and I love your videos, already suscribed for future ones 😄😉
PS. Is that a real oscar?!?! 😲
Yep, this sounds like a burroughs book.
burrough's Naked Lunch is fab !

Great review, really enjoying your style Luke, very pleased I’ve Subscribed, thank you.
YAY! 🎉
Where would you rank this in Luca's filmography? Looking forward to watching it.
Why didn't you read the book, it's not very long...
Can’t wait for the next review!

Sounds great especially the last third.

And the review of "l'm still here"?
Who's taking care of your cat?
Its a film for heaven’s sake not a way of life!
Do you think Craig has the volpi cup for best actor locked since it seems like the brutalist will win golden lion.
I don’t see Phoenix winning or maybe Harris Dickinson for baby girl.
It could go to adrien brody
@@jovonsaintlouis125 if the brutalist wins the golden lion it can’t that’s why last year cailee won and not Emma

@@jovonsaintlouis125 I think the brutalist and Brody might win picture and actor as Sing Sing isn’t that huge spectacle like Brutalist
@@gabrielcastaneda9700 and also think Kidman has a shot for Volpi actress too - just cause you mentioned Dickinson. ☺️
I think he has a shot. GG nom for Craig for sure.
Sounds like the movie is all over the place with no coherence in the story line or tropes.
DEAR😅
couldnt watcy mutch of this because of the waving arms and hands. Such a distraction

Queer
Sooo tradtional gays film.
Film talk about gay man meet man and make love with him.. and seprate.

And they make oldfashioned story about romance btween gays... without big or new or deep supject of gays life.
Queer
