• Guadagnino's latest film, distributed by streaming platform Mubi, was banned in Turkey for its 'queer' themes, which the director calls a 'short-sighted' and 'damaging' act of censorship.
• Despite the setback, Guadagnino remains optimistic, drawing inspiration from the work of literary icon William S. Burroughs, whose radical writings challenged societal norms and pushed creative boundaries.
