Queer

William S. Burroughs wrote Junky in the early 1950s - a raw, introspective account of a drug addict and gay man searching for love and fulfillment. The controversial novel was not published until the 1980s.

Director Luca Guadagnino, known for the cult classic Call Me by Your Name and the hit Rivals, brings the work to the screen. Daniel Craig takes on the demanding lead role as Burroughs' alter ego, a performance that has positioned him among the frontrunners for major film awards on both sides of the Atlantic.
