IMAGE+NATION FESTIVAL FILM LGBT2SQUEER MONTRÉAL kicks off its 37th edition with the Quebec premiere of Luca Guadagnino’s highly anticipated, Queer.

Brilliant, audacious author, meet brilliant, audacious director: it’s risky to translate William S. Burroughs for the screen, but Luca Guadagnino’s (Call Me by Your Name, I+N30, 2017) spin on the Beat legend’s autobiographical novel matches its source material in vulnerability and taboo-smashing adventurousness. A rare gem, haunting and strange, a romance of shivering ache and heartbreak, Queer is a hallucinogenic odyssey bathed in desire.
