How "Queer" writer Justin Kuritzkes told a love story through "the language of addiction"

Justin Kuritzkes has written only two feature films, both this year, both for director Luca Guadagnino, and both very gay films. “Queer” depicts both the horniness of Lee — Burroughs’ alter ego — as well as the haziness of his heroin addiction.

In “Queer,” Craig plays William Lee, an addict in 1950s Mexico City whose dependence on drugs and alcohol is as …
