Queer (2025)
by Luca Guadagnino
Apparently an unrequited love story between two lonely souls, Queer is actually much more than that.
As Guadagnino himself states, “it’s the story of an impossibility within possibility,” of a deep desire for connection and tenderness, and of the repression of that very desire out of fear—fear of recognizing oneself in something unknown and therefore frightening.
With Queer, we are thrown into a run-down Mexico City, a murky territory where clothing becomes the battleground for unstable identities and unspoken desires.
Queer invites us to reflect on how, once again, cinema uses fashion not merely as ornamentation to construct an imaginary world, but as a true language to express inner collapse, ambiguity, and the unsaid.
