This article is part of Film Comment’s Best of 2024 coverage. Read all the lists here. All We Imagine as Light (Payal Kapadia, 2024)I was knocked out by Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, a swooningly gorgeous film whose bloody heart and loose piriformis muscle is Daniel Craig’s performance as Bill Lee—a character who is as like and unlike William S. Burroughs as was the Bill Lee of the novel from which the movie is adapted.

It mattered so much to Richard that Ben Brantley understood and wrote so expressly about his work.
Farewell to Richard Foreman, one of theater's most complete auteurs, who turned human uncertainty into the stuff of crackling, head-spinning spectacle. His annual, expert existential funhouses at St. Mark's Church were where you went to get lost. A titan has left the stage. https://t.co/sra2OWnE2R
