The race to the 97th Academy Awards is heating up as A24 has set release dates for two of the buzziest titles to come out of the film festival circuit, Queer and The Brutatlist. Queer is the latest film from Luca Guadagnino, who also directed Challengers earlier this year, and is based on William S. Burrrough’s 1985 novel of the same name. It sees Daniel Craig play a man who becomes infatuated with a younger discharged American serviceman played by Drew Starkey. The Brutalist, directed by Brady Corbet, explores 30 years in the life of Lszl Tth (Adrien Brody), a Hungarian-Jewish architect and Holocaust survivor, as he pursues the American dream and his complicated relationship with a wealthy client who will change his life, played by Guy Pearce.
