One of the most interesting aspects of Queer is that it is based on William S. Burroughs’ 1985 novella Queer, a work that draws heavily from Burroughs’ own experiences. The film was written by Justin Kuritzkes, who later reunited with Guadagnino for Challengers. The movie also features music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, adding to its dreamlike atmosphere. IMDb notes that the production used detailed miniatures extensively, including miniature versions of Mexico City streets and an airplane takeoff sequence.

William S. Burroughs wrote the novella in the 1950s, but it wasn’t published until 1985. Guadagnino’s film therefore brings a story from Burroughs’ mid-century world to modern cinema almost 70 years after it was originally written.
