    THE SPOT

    "Magic" (:30) opens on a winter road where a Cadillac handles the slippery corners with ease. Pine trees in the background sway softly and snowflakes fall like paper-thin diamonds. In the next scene, a different model of Cadillac takes a turn on a mountain road, as the viewer notices a town off in the distance. The spot transitions into the town center, where a Cadillac SUV is shown maneuvering the streets. As the vehicle passes shops and street corners, light garlands and shop windows switch on, as if the car is infusing the town with holiday cheer. While passing by, the car causes a string of holiday bells hanging along the street to chime, one after the other. Finally, as a sporty-looking Cadillac heads back out onto the open road, a voiceover states, "Experience the magic. The season’s best. Cadillac. Break through."

    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
