Luca Guadagnino expressed that Turkey's ban on his film, Queer, could ironically elevate its status to a cult classic, suggesting that censorship often boosts intrigue.
Mubi Festival organizers condemned the ban as a direct attack on art and freedom of expression, emphasizing that it undermines the core values of cultural diversity and community.
Daniel Craig remarked that the controversial sex scenes in Queer were not the film’s focal point, asserting that the emotional journey of the characters was what truly mattered.
Guadagnino criticized officials for relying on secondhand assessments rather than directly engaging with the film, indicating a disconnect between censorship decisions and artistic merit.
