Luca Guadagnino’s Weird There is a film of passion – some sublime, others, but all are boiling under the hot summer of the city of Mexico that once feels drug -free and closophobic doom. William S. Buroz’s long-pressed second novel adapted, The Italian Autorce Follow-up to last year Challengers, Uncontrolled longing is less concerned with the plot of its source material with a feeling of craving.

Free from the harsh obstacles of 007, lead star Daniel Craig so loosening a performance and survives that it seems almost dangerous, such as her William Lee (stand-in of the film for Baroz) Can be exposed in different. Their li is a shiver in human form-dusk eyes, nicotine-dusted fingers, an unexpected hunger. The washed, heroin-adeded expatriate drink is accompanied by the kind of abandonment that suggests that he enjoys his own existence. With his rompled white linen suit, staring forever, and a siderm that he takes with almost a laugh, Lee is a sad and ridiculous person who is confident of his own assimilation, yet It is rapidly aware that it is only an embarrassment.

Drew Starkey played the role of her hot new passion, Eugene Alerton, with a quiet Calvin Klein model, which leads men such as Lee. He is young, beautiful, and impossible, and the moment he lasted at a cockfite – the sexualist in Guadagonino shoots it in slow – he is undone. He does not have this much romance because it is an experiment in emotional Sadomasocism. Lee is desperate for the scrap of affection, and Eugene, just stopping it enough to place it on the hook.

After creating a career for discovery of desire in many of its sequences, Gwadagonino directs with its normal explosion. Their city of Mexico is a city of heat, sweat and longing, a place where the queue desire is a curse, but also a means of liberation. The bars are severe, half of the male cheap cantinas’s neon haze is burnt, and yet there is an undisputed romance for the decomposedly rotten world.

The Soundtrack has been suffering from ancronistic needle drops by nirvana and new orders, pairing with a dream of follow -up cooperation of Trent Radenore and Etikus Ross with Guadagnino since last summer. Challengers,

Guadagnino released all its barriers for all sex of the film. Lee and Eugene’s encounters are feverish and falter, which is charged with a painful frustration. There is also an ineffective look at the clear imbalance of their relationship – Lee can grow up, but Eugene enhances all power. Even when the eugen allows itself to be seduced, it is accompanied by a unmatched contingent to involve a passing curiosity rather than surrendered to the desire. Starkey plays her with the optionality of an insanity, a sphink -like appearance that can neither decode nor have it.

The second half of the film leads Eugene as a gear as a gear to South America, in search of Yag, Holucinogenic Plant Baroz itself was once believed to unlock the secrets of human consciousness – which we now More popularly know that one of the strongest cycadelix on the planet, Aasaska. The Guadagnino film takes a jungle from here to a more fever-surplus region, with some more original except for the romance of Mexico City. Leslie manville appears, unfamiliar and wild, as a botanist, in which a lot of time is spent in the forest and is very low in Sana’s company. The Yag sequence is a miracle of the body horror and psychidelic delrium, which pushes the aesthetics of Guadagonino into new, grotes visual grammar.

But at its core, Weird The story of self-destruction in the form of devotion remains. Lee is an artist in making, but his artistry is not in his writing (which he barely starts doing so) but in the ability to shape his life as a grand, tragic distance. He loves Eugene with a blind, intensity of injury that can only give birth to disaster, and Craig plays his uncontrolled role with a mixture of ego and humiliation that is no less than mesmerized.

For all its flourish, Guadagnino does not romantic the prediction of Lee. He allows us to see what he is: not a doom lover but a man accustomed, not only for heroin but also for his own sorrow. Tragedy of Weird It is not that Eugene does not love him back. This is that for all his intellect and Bravo, Li will never understand. Guadagnino has always understood that the desire in its pure form is slightly less, and Weird Bend to bow down to that inconvenience. It performs the penis in the blank space between the touch, reaches desperate for a connection that slips through fingers like cigarette smoke.

If Hollywood is one thing that loves nostalgia, it is priority, and none of the two films of Guadagonino last year fitted it neatly into the Oscar -friendly boxes. Therefore, we get a parade of safe stakes, while the two most intoxicated films of the year are left away from the desired debate, rescue and fitting.
