    THE SPOT

    "Big on Style" (:30) shows a handsome couple cruising through Midtown Manhattan in their Suzuki Verona automobile. Set to the ballad "The Way You Look Tonight," sung by Rod Stewart, the electronic billboards showcase the features of the sedan as the car drives by. The spot ends with the couple stepping out of the vehicle in front of a nightclub. As they walk past the velvet ropes and onto the red carpet, they pass under a large sign with an electronic crawl that repeats the tagline: "Congratulations—you made the smart move." In "Family Adventure" (:30), a family tours the famous highways in their Suzuki XL-7 to a rendition of the song, "Route 66." As they journey past various landmarks, the road signs and billboards spell out the SUV’s attributes. As the family continues down the highway, they travel past a sign displaying the tag, "Congratulations—you made the smart move."

    "Big on Style" began airing Sept. 1, and "Family Adventure" broke Oct. 1.

    Daniel Craig Embraced Openness For Role In Director Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer”

    Tuesday, November 26, 2024

    Daniel Craig is sitting in the restaurant of the Carlyle Hotel talking about how easy it can be to close yourself off to new experiences.

    "We get older and maybe out of fear, we want to control the way we are in our lives. And I think it's sort of the enemy of art," Craig says. "You have to push against it. Whether you have success or not is irrelevant, but you have to try to push against it."

    Craig, relaxed and unshaven, has the look of someone who has freed himself of a too snug tuxedo. Part of the abiding tension of his tenure as James Bond was this evident wrestling with the constraints that came along with it. Any such strains, though, would seem now to be completely out the window.

    Since exiting that role, Craig, 56, has seemed eager to push himself in new directions. He performed "Macbeth" on Broadway. His drawling detective Benoit Blanc ("Halle Berry!") stole the show in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." And now, Craig gives arguably his most transformative performance as the William S. Burroughs avatar Lee in Luca Guadagnino's tender tale of love and longing in postwar Mexico City, "Queer."

    Since the movie's Venice Film Festival premiere, it's been one of the fall's most talked about performances — for its explicit sex scenes, for its vulnerability and for its extremely un-007-ness.

    "The role, they say, must have been a challenge or 'You're so brave to do this,'" Craig said in a recent interview alongside Guadagnino. "I kind of go, 'Eh, not really.' It's why I get up in the morning."

    In "Queer," which A24 releases Wednesday in theaters, Craig again plays a well-traveled, sharply dressed, cocktail-drinking man. But the similarities with his most famous role stop there. Lee is an American expat living in 1950s... Read More
