Guadagnino’s hugely disappointing adaptation of William S Burroughs’s posthumously published novella opens with Sinéad O’Connor’s cover of Nirvana’s All Apologies and randomised objects from that author’s Mexico City apartment. “Everyone is gay,” get it? The misused music and hollow visuals set the tone for a vacuous work that frequently feels like an over-styled catalogue shoot.
