In a recent interview, Daniel Craig discussed the initial footage of his film Queer, directed by Luca Guadagnino, highlighting the removal of some risqué content. Originally, the opening credits featured scenes with sperm-soaked sheets which were later edited out. While discussing this, Craig's co-star Drew Starkey humorously suggested that some of the content might still be present as a hidden detail. Guadagnino, however, confirmed that significant adjustments were made for the final cut of the film. The film, based on William Burroughs' novella, portrays intimate relationships and aims for authenticity in its portrayal of love scenes. Craig emphasized that the film's depiction of queer relationships is not the sole focus, but rather part of a broader narrative appealing to universal themes. This has sparked surprise and interest in its frank depiction of sexuality at film festivals.
