Luca Guadagnino directs Daniel Craig, Drew Starkey and Jason Schwartzman in this period romantic drama based on William S. Burroughs novel set in South America.

You couldn’t imagine a Roger Moore flick with this much simulated semen. Hmmm… Craig stretches his acting muscles here. The sex scenes are strong with the former Bond grabbing crack and nuzzling schlong. There are ebbs at surrealism. I liked the miniature FX work. We all lust for youth, infatuated with what we have lost to time. There is beauty and ugliness in obsession. As an entertainment it is quite boring and one note. Lingering far too long on its points and beats, making them almost redundant. Frustrating, eventually exhausting.
