!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!
It&#;s not often I write about movies in the first person, but then it&#;s not often a movie moves me to the point where I possess the sensation of myself on the big screen.

‘Sexuality is as individual as a fingerprint’: Daniel Craig and Luca Guadagnino on Queer
There is no shortage of directors who own made movies about gay life only to then backtrack and claim they were not specifically gay stories after all: Tom Ford did it with A Single Man, William Friedkin with both Cruising and The Boys in the Band. Luca Guadagnino, the director of Call Me By Your Name and this year’s steamy tennis romcom Challengers, is not about to perform that game. “It is the most gigantic gay film in history,” he says of his latest picture, for which he recreated s Mexico City on 12 stages at the Cinecittà studios in Rome. “I don’t think there has ever been a bigger gay movie.” Then again, he doesn’t have much wriggle room: the film is called Queer.
His feverish adaptation of William S Burroughs’s novel, which was written in the initial s but not published until , concerns an American expat, William Lee, who locks eyes with a young stranger across a crowded cockfight. This is Eugene Allerton, a clean-cut, blade-like presence, played by Drew Starkey. And who should star as
Love The One You&#;re With
I verb always viewed movies as a doorway to places I include yet to experience. It was where I could see a different world from the one I grew up in. A chance to challenge the views I was taught. They became my escape from the reality I was forced to inhabit in and could be someone else for a short amount of time.
This carried into my adult life and after coming out. Seeing gay movies allowed me to witness a world that seemed so far away from the rural setting that caged me. The one downside to all of the queer films I watched was that they seem to always cater to only white men. Hollywood seems to turn away from movies that deal with People of Color. Thankfully, we possess independent filmmakers to help saturate a much-needed void. That is why I am privileged to bring you Love The One You&#;re With by Sampson McCormick.
I realize that there are many local LGBTQ films to survey during Cleveland International Film Festival, but I thought I would add one more to your list.
