Set in 1950s Mexico City, Queer follows William Lee, an American expat living in quiet solitude until he meets Eugene Allerton, a fellow expatriate and former soldier. Their encounter stirs the possibility of a profound and intimate connection. Adapted from William S. Burroughs’ novel, the film transforms the raw emotional narrative into a tender, richly human story of love and longing.

Directed by Luca Guadagnino, Queer reimagines Burroughs’ work not as a tale of unrequited desire but as a universal story of love — a delicate interplay between vulnerability, misconnection, and emotional truth.

As a nod to Pride month, we chose Queer to kick off our collaboration with MUBI for the nuanced narrative and unique storytelling it offers. Once in two months we will bring a new film from the extensive MUBI collection to our beloved BIC audience!
