Argentine filmmaker Lucio Castro (End of the Century, MGFF20) returns with a very different sensuous queer drama that drifts through a New York summer shaped by chance encounters and the quiet shock of recognition.
Young art student Adnan arrives in New York to flat-sit and intern at a gallery. Venturing into the city parks by night, a brazen cruising encounter with a delivery rider gives way to a shared appreciation of art and drunken noodles. As Adnan moves between city streets, apartments, forest paths and late-night hangouts over two summers, fleeting erotic and emotional encounters begin to blur time itself — past experiences bleed into the present, and small moments crack open new ways of understanding connection.
With a fluid sense of time and a deep curiosity about art and fleeting intimacy, Castro crafts a film that finds meaning in transient exchanges rather than grand declarations. Shot with a languid, summery glow and carried by tender, lived-in performances, Drunken Noodles captures the radical beauty of seeing and being seen.
