In 1950s Mexico City, an American immigrant in his forties lives a solitary life in the midst of a small American community. However, the arrival of a young student pushes the man to finally make a meaningful connection with someone.. Ultimately, Daniel Craig was the one who convinced Luca Guadagnino to cast Drew Starkey after watching audition tapes with Guadagnino and telling him “That’s the guy” after seeing Starkey.. William Lee: Sit on your ass! Or what’s left of it after four years in the Navy.. Appeared 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 felt like a stream of consciousness. The overall meaning is to explore the loneliness in the queer heart, the difficulty in connecting with others, the pain of not being able to love, and the complex emotions of depression. But the performance technique is very stream of consciousness, especially the last 20 minutes, which have almost no lines and are completely used to express the male protagonist’s inner world through various blurs, hallucinations and abstract art forms. Although I understood what the director wanted to express, the form of expression might not be acceptable to the audience and at some point I wanted to leave the scene.
