September 26 - October 13, 2025
Daring queer Argentinean auteur Lucio Castro (End of the Century, ND/NF 2019) weaves five chapters in the sexual life of an art student named Adnan (Laith Khalifeh), all of them united by a waggish, erotic magical realism.

The new film from New York–based Argentinean director Lucio Castro—whose time-bending End of the Century (ND/NF 2019) marked one of the past decade’s queer cinematic discoveries—weaves five chapters in the sexual life of a cat-sitting art student named Adnan (Laith Khalifeh), all of them united by an erotic magical realism. While the situations within each of the film’s playful, nonchronological segments seem to represent anecdotal facets of everyday gay life, from urban dating rituals to monogamy anxieties during a weekend upstate, Drunken Noodles consistently pushes things into the realms of the unreal, even the mythic. Like End of the Century, Castro’s latest is both sexy and surprisingly cosmic, but this time with a casual, puckish charm. A Strand Releasing release.
