Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer,” based on the slender novel by William S. Burroughs and starring Daniel Craig as the Burroughs stand-in, is now in theaters nationwide from A24. And chances are, coming out of the psychedelic drama, you’re going to jam out to the songs from the movie’s soundtrack.
That’s because Guadagnino took an anachronistic approach to the music he chose for the movie – it might be set in Mexico City in the early 1950s, but that doesn’t keep him from using more modern tunes. And that’s to say nothing of the gorgeous, elegiac original score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the filmmaker’s collaborators on “Bones and All” and, earlier this year, “Challengers.” (There’s also a certifiable, “Challengers”-adjacent banger, “Place of Failure,” that tracks a formidable trek through the jungle.)
