Drunken Noodles

(Lucio Castro, 2025)

Columbus Premiere

Two men sit on a blanket in the woods, one is laying with his head on the other's leg.

This delightful new film by queer Argentine auteur Lucio Castro (End of the Century) tells five chapters in the magical and erotic sex life of a New York art student.

Drunken Noodles begins as a charming look at everyday gay life, from urban dating rituals to monogamy anxieties during a cabin weekend. But as the nonlinear chapters in the main character Adnan’s (played by the captivating Laith Khalifeh) story accumulate, an erotic, mythic surreality begins to appear. This modest but beautiful film features a rarity in modern independent film: a humane horniness full of beauty and mystery. A true gem! In English and Spanish with English subtitles. (82 mins., DCP)
