Star Peter Weller

David Cronenberg

1991

115 min

4K restoration Premiere!

Luca Guadagnino's "Queer" is adapted from a semi-autobiographical novel by outlaw beat writer William S Burroughs, as is Naked Lunch, which director David Cronenberg describes as the story of a closeted man trying to cure himself of his homosexuality.

Blank-faced bug killer Bill Lee and his dead-eyed wife, Joan, like to get high on Bill’s pest poisons while lounging with Beat poet pals. After meeting the devilish Dr. Benway, Bill gets a drug made from a centipede. Upon indulging, he accidentally kills Joan, takes orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, ends up in a constantly mutating Mediterranean city and learns that his hip friends have published his work – which he doesn’t remember writing.

101 min

35mm

This compassionate, sprawling melodrama follows Manuela after the death of her 17 year-old son Esteban. She sets out in search of Esteban's father, now a trans woman named Lola, who is sick with AIDS. It's the kind of film only Almodóvar can make, lurid and lovely and memorable.

Following the tragic death of her teenage son, Manuela travels from Madrid to Barcelona in an attempt to contact the long-estranged father the boy never knew. She reunites with an old friend, an outspoken transgender sex worker, and befriends a troubled actress and a pregnant, HIV-positive nun.
