The OUT Challenge

[Fergenaprido]

60. Zero Patience (1993) - 8.6 - Love love loved this! Provocative gay musical comedy about AIDS and discrimination? Didn't quite expect it to work, but it turned out Fabulous! The songs are really catchy too; I've still got the title song stuck in my head a few months later.

ie. Light Sleeper (1992) - 7.4 - the third person in the "group" is a gay man, and he's relatively important to the plot, though it still revolves around the central duo. It was quite refreshing to see a straight-gay male friendship so completely normalized in a film from the early '90s. The film itself it just okay, but I get why it has cult status.

--. Goon: Last of the Enforcers (2017) - 7.4 - the gay brother doesn't really feature in this one, and there are a bunch of homophobic jokes thrown around in the locker room/on the ice, but they don't really come across as that offensive since the film kind of shuts them down. Sort of.

if. Sitcom (1998) - 7.4 - More daring craziness from Ozon, this one is gay to the hilt, with both guys and girls switching teams and entering same-sex relationships at some point during the film. Lots of skin, quite kinky, and definitely trippy, yet it all kind of worked out in the end.

ig. Je t'aime moi non plus [I Love You, I Don't] (1976) - 4.6 - Pure trash (in the literal sense, since Joe's a garbage man), and despite the gay setup, it's not very gay ("gay" man falls for tomboyish girl), but still features gay-bashing and some weird painful sex. It seems like someone's sick fantasy... but it's not mine.

ih. The Fruit Machine (2018) - 8.4 - Revealing and infuriating documentary about the witch-hunt against gays and lesbians in the military and government civil service in Canada. Such a shame.

ii. Indianara (2019) - 7.8 - Biographical documentary about a transwoman activist in Brazil. Unapologetically queer, I think it does a lot to peel away the façade of Brazil being an LGBTQ+-friendly country, especially under the current administration.

ij. League of Gentlemen (1960) - 7.8 - One of the gang is gay, and it's mentioned a few times and played for laughs a bit, but it's mostly ignored, yet treated like a crime. Realities of post-war Britain I suppose.

--. Onward (2020) - 7.8 - Yes, the female cop has a girlfriend, and it's great that it's casually yet explicitly mentioned, but this is not the landmark of diversity Disney wants you to think it is, given all the publicity this minor character is given. At least it turned out better than the Betauty and the Beast fiasco. Babysteps. :sigh:

ik. Un rubio [The Blond One] (2019) - 7.8 - Marco Berger delivers again. Makes me want to move to Argentina. Another slow-paced, tender gay romance of sorts.

61. Kissing Jessica Stein (2001) - 7.6 - Good, but somewhat superficial. It's almost like two straight women wrote a film of what they thought lesbians were like (The two leads wrote the script together). It's cute, and has crossover appeal for the straight audience (which is great for visibility), but it ultimately felt shallow to me. Still, it was enjoyable throughout, and there's not much else to fault it with. Oh, and don't forget your sassy gay-couple best friends!

62. Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971) - 7.8 - Bisexual visibility in the '70s? Surprisingly good, though slightly feeds into the trope of bisexual people being sex-hungry sluts. I know Murray Head only from Chess, but he's quite good here (and surprisingly young.. 25 or so). Jackson & Finch both hold their own as well, and overall it's a great character study. You know how it's going to end, but you still want to see how they get there.

--. Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss (1982) - 7.6 - I can't make up my mind if the doctor is supposed to be a predatory lesbian or not (coded or otherwise).

--. Doors: Team B Terror (2018) - 7.0 - Episode of a Philippine horror anthology mini-series, this was directed by someone who I think is a gay man (he's directed other gay-themed features). A moralistic fairy tale with monsters, most of the film is teenage boys (aged 16 or 17 I think, though I suppose the actors themselves were all 18+) running around shirtless in their shorts or just their underwear. Seriously. It seems kind of exploitative, but I suppose it's comparable to the countless number of American slashers about teenage girls in their nighties. Thankfully, it's short (~45 minutes or so) and not too scary (a few jump scares but that's it), so it was pretty easy to get through.

il. Portrait de la jeune fille en feu [Portrait of a Lady on Fire] (2019) - 8.2 - Gorgeous, sensitive filmmaking. The use (and non-use) of music here is superb, and the scene (and imagery) from the poster is exquisite. Wish I could have caught this on the big screen. One of the rare films I would call an "instant classic".

--. Germania anno zero [Germany Year Zero] (1948) - 7.4 - Is this the start of (the popularization of) the viciously false conspiracy theory that the Nazis were gay? The two older men who are clearly Nazi sympathizers and are clearly predatory pedophiles did not sit well with me. There was so much happening in post-war Germany, and this is what Rosselini decided to focu son? Thankfully, the lead actor was fantastic in his role.

im. Lantana (2001) - 7.6 - one of the myriad of plotlines involves a gay man having an affair with a married man, and talking to his therapist about it. It was all right.

in. La hora fría [The Dark Hour] (2006) - 6.4 - Messy sci-fi horror that includes a gay couple in the ensemble.

What were they thinking? Some spoilers ahead

They're introduced quite normally at the beginning, which is great, and there are explicit parallels drawn between them and the only other (straight) couple in the group, which was great. It was completely normalized and no one batted an eye. But it was clearly just a gimmick. There is almost no affection shown between the two men, despite a lot of affection being shown between the straight couple, including them in bed about to have sex and make a sex tape. When 3 members set off on a dangerous mission, the straight couple embrace and kiss passionately, while the gay couple... does a fist bump and a shoulder pat? WTF? Later on, the teenage girl (16 or so) has a crush on one of the gay men (her teacher), and she crawls into bed with him one night and the share a brief chaste kiss and then fall asleep while waiting for the monsters to go away (there was no reason for her to be out of her room at night, but her entering his room and cuddling with him actually made sense in the film's logic). The next day she tells one of the women who acts like her mother figure (leaving out the kiss), just saying that she loves him (and it's obviously just a schoolgirl crush), and the woman freaks out and starts hitting the man, accusing him of taking advantage of the girl. Again, that old trope gay men being pedophiles/sexual predators (though this time for a girl?). She doesn't attempt to get his side of the story, or ask any questions of him or the girl, just jumps to conclusions and starts taking action. And then, of course, in the climactic battle scene, the gay couple has to die (one dies first, then the other going on a suicide mission since his lover is gone). What started out as a promising premise and introduction turned into a disappointing festival of anti-gay cliches, while still trying to present itself as pro-gay.

63. Prick Up Your Ears (1987) - 7.5ish - Stephen Frears is like the British Ang Lee... a straight man who's able to make positive and nuanced films about gay people, and able to not have their career nosedive because of it. I don't know how much of the story is true, but it's a fascinating tale. I'd never heard of Orton before, but he seems like quite the character. Oldman is great, as always, but Molina more than holds his own here too... I feel he's often overlooked. Wallace feels slightly out of place here (incidentally this film came out the same year as Princess Bride), and the rest of the supporting characters are fairly good. Worth a view if you're not put off by a bit of sleaziness in film.

--. Talentime (2009) - Yasmin Ahmad's last film, this ensemble piece includes two teachers who are good/best friends who are unknowingly caught twice by a fellow teach in compromising situations that he clearly interprets as them being gay: First, the one teacher kisses his friend on his cheek and head in thanks since he agreed to perform in the talent show with him (so that the first teacher could impress the female teacher who is organizing the talent show); second, the same teacher gives a shoulder massage to his friend because he's sore. These two scenes are unnecessary to the plot and are definitely played for laughs, but I'm surprised they made them past the censors here in Malaysia.

io. Karera ga honki de amu toki wa, [Close-Knit] (2017) - A tender drama that's both a coming-of-age tale of an 11-year-old girl who's been abandoned by her mother, a coming-out film of her male classmate, and a coming-to-terms film of her uncle's transgender girlfriend. Three fragile and damaged individuals (though all three strive to project confidence and strength, especially the girl) looking for love, acceptance, and self-worth. The subtheme of creating your own family will probably resonating with a lot of queer folks who were rejected by their own (though the scenes with the transwoman's oversupportive mother were nice to see they didn't fit tonally with the rest of the film). Some great humorous moments as well, and the English title is well-chosen. I think this would be a great film to show to pre-teens to introduce to them the concept of transpeople (if they didn't already understand it) and have a discussion about it. Thanks to beavis for pushing me to see this.

ip. Zéro de conduite: Jeunes diables au collège [Zero for Conduct] (1933) - 6.4 - Neither as good or as queer as I was expecting it to be. I barely remember the queer elements, aside from perhaps some perceived homoeroticism among the boys. I do agree that it's an important piece of filmmaking that has influenced countless similar films over the years, though.

iq. Sibak [Midnight Dancers] (1994) - 7.6 - Filipino drama about three siblings trying to support their family by working in a gay strip club. At times, it's pretty much softcore porn. Not much of a plot, character development, or acting skills, but it still charmed/affected me in it's brutal portrayal of the dangers of being different. Deserves a restoration, as the print available through Kanopy is pretty shoddy.

ir. Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen (2020) - 8.4 - Excellent documentary about trans lives depicted on screen, and the struggle of trans actors and filmmakers in today's industry. I've seen it compared to The Celluloid Closet, but I like this film better.

is. Hua jai tor ra nong [The Adventures of Iron Pussy] (2003) - 6.0 - Ridiculous campy action spy film about a drag queen. The plot is ridiculous, the acting is atrocious, and the special effects are laughable. But it was still fun. A very different film from Apitchapong compared to his other more meditative work.

it. Oliver (1983) - 7.6 - Fascinating short documentary about a gay worker at a strip club, and his unique act where he, er, mimics a spider creating a web with some accuracy.

iu. Henry Gamble's Birthday Party (2015) - 7.8 - Another good film from Stephen Cone (I really need to see Princess Cyd now), weaving being gay, teenage drama, and Christianity all together. This was more of an ensemble piece than I was expecting (the emphasis here is more on the birthday party than on Henry Gamble, so the title is actually quite accurate), but I think there was a nice balance between all the competing storylines, even if I was drawn to Henry's the most. I also have a soft spot for hypocrisy exposed on film.

iv. Nights in the Gardens of Spain [Kawa] (2010) - 6.8 - Coming out drama from New Zealand about a middle-aged man grappling with his sexuality. Aside from the addition of traditional Maori elements (the lead is Maori, but his wife and lover are both white), there isn't really much here. The only bright spot for me was The Hobbit's Dean O'Gorman as the lover. Disappointing overall, considering it took me years to track down a copy (which is surprising for a film from this decade that seems to have received a decent initial release).

iw. Gay USA (1977) - 7.6 - Documentary about the gay rights movement in it's early years, before AIDS stole the spotlight. A good reminder of how far we've come for those of us who were born later and have benefitted from the work these early pioneers and fighters did. The subject matter and it's personal connection to me was better than the filmmaking.

ix. Buddies (1985) - 8.4 - From the same director as Gay USA (he even reused some of the footage from that film in Buddies, which I found comical), this is one of the earlier AIDS dramas and what it lacks in finesse it makes up with a gutpunch of emotions. Hit me hard, and I'm glad this is being rediscovered. I think it's all the more timely because of covid.

iy. La dea fortuna [The Goddess of Fortune] (2019) - 7.8 - Italian drama about a gay couple who are asked to take care of their female friend's two kids while she goes into the hospital for a few days for some tests. The kids put some added stress on their already strained relationship, and her hospital stay keeps getting extended. Throw in a neighbour in the beginning stages of early-onset Alzheimer's, a witch of a grandmother, uncertain paternity, and questions of fidelity, and the film crams in a fair amount of drama to sort out. Still, I really liked it, and was surprised to find out it was directed by Özpetek, whose debut film Hamam [Steam] I've been trying to find (with subtitles) for a long time now.

iz. Like a Boss (2020) - 7.6 - What would cosmetics mavens do without their gay best friends/personal assistants? For a straight film aimed at straight women, there's a fair amount of queering going on, with the two straight female leads living together in the same house, Billy Porter (who owns every scene as he should) as the fabulous worker at their artisanal cosmetics store, and the is-he-or-isn't-he personal assistant to Salma Hayek's Boss Bitch (played by Karan Soni, who may be my new favourite character actor after his turns in Deadpool and Always Be My Maybe... makes me really want to see Safety Not Guaranteed now just for him). Overall, it's fine.

64. Der junge Törless [The Young Törless] (1966) - 7.8 - The queerness of this film is subtle and easily glossed over, but it's really essential to the core story. It's one of the films that owes a lot to Zero for Conduct, but I think this film executes it's vision far better. Moral ambiguity, bullying, (possible) latent homosexuality, and the power dynamics of (sexual) abuse all factor in to a film about teens at a military boarding school.

ja. Dream Boat (2017) - 7.2 - Documentary about a gay cruise, focusing on 5 different men from 5 different countries aboard. It's all right, tries to be descriptive instead of prescriptive, but doesn't really do much. There's plenty of hot man flesh if that's your thing, and some explicit nudity (including a brief public blowjob scene) so be forewarned.

jb. Forbidden Games: The Justin Fashanu Story (2017) - 6.0 - Saw this and Dream Boat because they were expiring on Netflix, but hadn't heard of either prior. I'm interested in Fashanu's story, but this documentary was too one-sided for me, and felt exploitative of Justin instead of compassionate. There was no real coherent narrative, too many side stories that took away from the potentially powerful story of an out-and-proud gay black man playing top level football in the 1990s! At least this made me aware of his story, but as a film it's pretty shoddy.

jc. O Fantasma [The Phantom] (2000) - 7.2 - Chosen by my Secret Santa for me. Crazy shit that falls further and further into depravity with it's lead. Here's what I wrote in that thread: "O Fantasma was erotic, as promised, but it was also fucking weird. And confusing. Putting the rest in spoilers."

Spoiler

I knew it would be somewhat weird, given I'd already seen The Ornithologist, so I was fine just accepting whatever the film had to show without questioning it too much, assuming it would all make sense eventually. And for the most part, it did. But the last 20 minutes or so it took a strange turn (starting with him kidnapping João) and the film lost me. Up until that point, it might have even made my <400 list (and I may still include it my debut films list for the poll next year), but I'm still left scratching my head. I get the whole tumbling into depravity thing, but this didn't seem like a logical progression, and it left the film unresolved for me.

I'm the same age as the lead actor, and this came out the year I turned 18. I cannot imagine doing any of those things at that age (mind you, I don't have any fetishes to begin with, so there's that), and I found it slightly disturbing when I realized the film premiered 4 months after the lead actor turned 18, which means either the film was made in a very short timeframe, or some of what he did was when he was underage (include a surprise explicit oral sex scene I was not expecting). I'm not trying to be prudish or say that teenagers shouldn't be engaging in sexual activity, and I'm aware in the porn world they can start working legally the day they turn 18, but it makes me think of how much did the actor know what he was getting himself into, and was he coerced/manipulated by the director to do it - especially since he hasn't made a single film since, and apparently went back to his hometown to help his widowed mother run the farm.

My only other issues were the creepy cops, and the fact that most of this film takes place at night, so it was sometimes hard to see what was happening on screen.

65. The Living End (1992) - 7.2 - Billed as a gay Thelma and Louise, with two HIV-positive young men driving aimlessly across the USA in a giant "Fuck You" to straight society that marginalizes and dehumanizes them. It's transgressive, but didn't quite grab me as much as I'd hoped for. Still, I really want to see more from Araki as he keeps bringing something new each time.

I might got back to monthly instead of quarterly updates if I start seeing more queer films in 2021 as planned.

[Fergenaprido]

jd. Dylda [Beanpole] (2019) - 7.2 - I'm not fully onboard with this being called a queer film, given how little queerness shows up and how late in the game it appears (making it feel like an afterthought instead of a built up intention). It's a decent film, though, with some nice cinematography and strong spartan acting. Didn't quite grab me, though.

je. Papi Chulo (2018) - 7.6 - An Irish film set in California with a Spanish title, it addresses some interesting themes in the gay (male) community, such as co-dependence, age differences, and straight chasing. Bomer's fine, but the real star for me is Patiño. Solid indie flick that doesn't follow the well-trod path.

jf. Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón [Pepi, Luci, Bom and Other Girls Like Mom] (1980) - 7.4 - Fun early Almodóvar, with lots of queerness about it even if the actual queer characters are not the main focus. Kind of all over the place, but charming in it's own way, and a clear precursor to some of his greater later work.

jg. G.O.R.A. (2004) - 4.4 - Effeminate closeted gay men who exist only to be comic relief. Even ignoring that ugly trope, it's still a terrible movie. On a slightly more positive note, it was my 100th feature from 2004, making it the first year to hit that milestone.

jh. Pelo malo [Bad Hair] (2013) - 7.8 - A gay movie without any gay characters? You bet. Here, the young boy is thought to be gay by his mother, who panics and goes to different lengths to butch him up. Given the premise, it's an evenly-keeled film that doesn't venture into crazy antics, and treats its characters with humanity even when they are inhumane. Recommended.

ji. Azul y no tan rosa [My Straight Son] (2012) - 8.0 - Second film in my Venezuelan queer double feature, this drama about a gay man and his straight teenaged son learning how to be a family was quite nice. It's essentially a double coming of age pic. There's some violence that felt gratuitous and unnecessary at first, but as the film went along it slowly felt more justified and warranted. Still, I found it quite shocking. Also recommended.

jj. Touch Me Not (2018) - 5.6 - Some queer characters in this ensemble piece. I like that it doesn't shy away from non-glamourous bodies, but the film itself didn't come together for me and was a slog to get through.

jk. Primos [Cousins] (2019) - 6.2 - Sexy, but not really good. Was expecting more than a made-for-tv-style film with questionable acting and storylines, but then reading another review that talked about how we deserve these cheap productions as well, and that if we're getting the whole gamut of queer fare, from highbrow awards bait romances to stilly cheap sex comedies, then this (distant-)cousins-in-love movie with some explicit nudity is a sign that we're getting closer to widespread visibility and acceptance. The ridiculous religious group and the over-the-top girl were too much for me, though.

--. Swiped (2018) - 3.4 - A terrible, terrible film with two minor queer quibbles. First, everyone assumes the lead character is gay for some reason (because he's a nerd and is awkward around girls?), so much so that two of them have a bet about it. To be fair, none of the characters tease him about it or think it's bad that he is/might be gay, but it just cheapens it to bet over it. Not necessary. Second, grampa is saying something about how things haven't changed much since he was dating, then two women (presumably lesbians) walk by, and he says, "well, almost everything", as if gay people didn't exist back then (I'm paraphrasing and my memory is somewhat blurry on this point now). It just felt like cheap, needless erasure, and that's something we've been fighting against for millennia. This film is dedicated to the director's parents, and another reviewer surmised that she must hate her parents. I kind of concur.

jl. The Death & Life of John F. Donovan (2018) - 7.8 - Even when he's off his game, Dolan still makes films that I can love and appreciate. Tremblay is great in this, while the other actors are good to okay. But the sentiment and the story drew me in, plus his signature music montages.

jm. Handsome Devil (2016) - 7.8 - Coming-of-age boarding school outcast rugby teen drama. Ireland is one of my favourite countries (I'm biased since I'm part Irish and have always identified with that heritage the most), and I finally got to visit it a few summers ago, and have seriously considered moving there. But it's also somewhat socially-repressed due to years and years of dominance by the Catholic Church, which makes me think if I had it rough growing up at a regular suburban Catholic school in Canada in the '90s, then I don't know how I would have fared in small-town Ireland. Andrew Scott (aka Hot Priest from Fleabag) is good in this.

jn. The Prom (2020) - 7.8 - Not nearly as horrid as people are making this out to be. It was easy and fun, nothing too serious, though it did have some serious moments. And all the uproar about James Corden's gayface is blown way out of proportion. I think he gave a good performance, and it didn't rely on flamboyant stereotypes, but was grounded in something more (his scene with his mom was evidence of this, to me). All the main adults do fine, but Pellman as the main teen held her own. And now I kind of want to see the Eleanor Roosevelt musical.

jo. Dating Amber (2020) - 8.4 - Another Irish coming of age gay drama, this time set in the '90s and featuring teenage closet cases acting as each other's beards. It's Finn O'Shea's movie (he was also in Handsome Devil), but Lola Petticrew is the real star of this for me. She drives the narrative and I think has more growth as well. But that feeling of just wanting to lay low until you can escape... that was all too real to me, even if the rest of the school atmosphere was very different from my own.

jp. Matthias et Maxime [Matthias and Maxime] (2019) - 8.6 - Dolan's latest is one of his greatest. It's rare that a long film (2+ hours) ends and I want it to keep going. I wanted to continue with the story and see how their friendship evolved, but I also think it was the right time to end it and leave the rest to our imaginations. It's a small, intimate picture, that feels like a character study. A group of six friends in their late 20s, there's no anti-gay sentiment anywhere except the internalized homophobia of one or two of the characters. Solid, healthy friendships without much toxic masculinity. And Anne Dorval is great (and unrecognizable) as Dolan's mother, ten years after she played his mother in I Killed My Mother. Dolan's first decade as a director was great for me - I'm eagerly looking forward to his second. His films aren't about me, and aside from being gay and Canadian we don't have much in common, but I feel seen in his films and in his characters.

iq. Starstruck (1982) - 8.2 - This was so much fun! "I Want to Live in a House" is my new favourite song. The whole film is fast-paced and rambunctious. At first I thought the teen boy was gay, but he's not - another character is revealed to be later on, though. And no anti-gay sentiment in this, despite it being a film from the '80s. Rock on!

--. Dhobi Ghat [Mumbai Diaries] (2010) - 6.4 - I was hoping for a refreshing indie film outside of the Bollywood bubble, but got this mess of a film from Aamir Khan's wife, starring Aamir Khan (and no, I don't mean to reduce Kiran Rao to her relationship to a man, but rather highlighting the insider-ness and nepotism of the film, despite the marketing saying otherwise - Khan said something like "this film is breaking new ground in India" {I forget the exact quote}). There's what appears to be a GBF for one of the female leads, whose sole purpose is to console her, make snarky comments, procure drugs, and (presumably) show something edgy about the big city. Plus, I didn't like Monica Dogra's acting - and the only storyline I really cared about was that of Prateik's character.

jr. People You May Know (2016) - 5.6 - I watched this because it was expiring on Netflix and it had Sean Maher (Dr. Simon Tam from Firefly). Honestly, not worth your time. Convoluted story, shoddy acting (save Carmen Maura, but she only has one scene), silly plot points... it just doesn't add up to anything good. I did kind of enjoy Mark from Day Drunk Gays and his character's paramour, but that's about it. Also, the Netflix summary being incorrect didn't help (Advertised as a gay guy who knocks up his straight best friend's wife after a night of drunken sex, it's actually about a gay guy who knocks up his female straight best friend, which left me confused at the start). Skip this one unless you enjoy any of the actors and want to complete their filmography.

js. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) - 7.6 - Does the title refer to Ma Rainey's butt or the song? Does it matter? Not really, because this movie is more about Levee Green than Ma Rainey. The acting is perfection from everyone, especially Davis and Boseman, but everything else kind of limps along (except the music... that's stellar too, as expected). The CGI out old Chicago looks cheap, the plot is razor thin (apparently a whole hour of the stage play was cut in this adaptation, which comes in at a lean 90 minutes), and the positioning of this as a Ma Rainey biopic that ends up being a Ma Rainey footnote kind of put a downer on it. Still, glad this was made to be able to see Davis and Boseman shine on screen, and for unapologetically showing a black queer female in all her glory. Ma Rainey was one shrewd businesswoman (in the film; I can only assume she was in real life too), and I loved to see her chew the scenery in this. One of Levee's early monologues where the mood shifts on a dime as he speaks about something in his past was one of the most powerful moments in my film history. Plus, justice for poor Toledo. Fun fact - the actor who plays Cutler (the head of the band), Colman Domingo, is an out gay man.

jt. Mapplethorpe (2018) - 7ish - I learned it's pronounce MAY-pull-thorp not MAP-pull-thorpe. For some reason I thought this was a documentary, but it's not, just a straight ( ) biopic. Smith is good, but the film didn't hit it for me. I expected something much more provocative considering how legendary and ground-breaking his photography was, but this film was lacklustre and dull. Milquetoast, almost. Also, I'm glad it didn't shy away from the unpleasant sides of Mapplethorpe (black fetishism, reckless abandon with AIDS, cruelty to his brother, narcissism and self-absorption), but still had him be somewhat likeable. I'm surprised that he created a foundation a year before his death that (aside from primarily protecting his legacy and making sure his family couldn't benefit from his name/art) goes to help those with HIV/AIDS and research... perhaps he had a change of heart as his disease progressed (which isn't shown on screen)? Anyway, somewhat interesting film about a gay icon/trailblazer, but don't expect the film to mirror his art (though they do show a lot of his photos in the film).

jt. Mapplethorpe (2018) - 7ish - I learned it's pronounce MAY-pull-thorp not MAP-pull-thorpe. For some reason I thought this was a documentary, but it's not, just a straight ( ) biopic. Smith is good, but the film didn't hit it for me. I expected something much more provocative considering how legendary and ground-breaking his photography was, but this film was lacklustre and dull. Milquetoast, almost. Also, I'm glad it didn't shy away from the unpleasant sides of Mapplethorpe (black fetishism, reckless abandon with AIDS, cruelty to his brother, narcissism and self-absorption), but still had him be somewhat likeable. I'm surprised that he created a foundation a year before his death that (aside from primarily protecting his legacy and making sure his family couldn't benefit from his name/art) goes to help those with HIV/AIDS and research... perhaps he had a change of heart as his disease progressed (which isn't shown on screen)? Anyway, somewhat interesting film about a gay icon/trailblazer, but don't expect the film to mirror his art (though they do show a lot of his photos in the film).

Funnily enough, now that this has left Netflix, they just announced a Director's Cut of the film. I guess I wasn't the only one who thought this was mild and tame. Based on the trailer, though, it just looks like it spends more time on his childhood, but doesn't seem any more provocative than it already was: https://www.advocate.com/film/2021/3/03 ... ut-trailer

I need to go back through your film commentary and look for things I haven't seen yet. But then again, I always have 50 different things I'm working on film wise. So much to see, so little time ...

Ran across an Oscar nominated documentary about couples that have been together a very long time (+-60 years). It features a gay couple and while this might not seem surprising today, it was a bit more forward looking in 1993. Cool that it at least had some interest at the Academy. If anyone wants to see it, let me know via PM before mid April. It's currently not on any LGBTQ+ lists.

For Better or for Worse (1993)

[Fergenaprido]

66. Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt (1989) - 7.8 - Good doc about the AIDS crisis and how it affected different people - not just gay men, but hemophiliacs and drug users were also heavily hit at the start in America. Seeing Vito Russo talk about losing loved ones, his own illness, and preparing for his eventual demise was especially poignant for me.

67. Imagine Me & You (2005) - 7.6 - one of the most-cited lesbian films that I've consistently put off, this was quite good. Not terribly cliched, but it foreshadows the ending very early on so it all becomes kind of obvious what will happen and you're just watching it all unfold. Celia Imrie & Anthony Head (who will always be Giles from Buffy to me) as Piper Perabo's parents were quite good, and I didn't realize it was future Queen Cersei Lena Headey who played Perabo's love interest. And it probably wasn't the film's intention, but this made me love Matthew Goode even more. ::swoon::

js. Last Ferry (2019) - 6.4 - a trashy Fire Island-set thriller that feels like it was written by the lead so that he would have the chance to act in something since he wasn't being cast by others. Kudos to him for that, but it's still not a very good film. Some sexiness at parts, and genuine thrills, but overall it's a bit of a mess. Caught it on Netflix before it disappeared, could be an interesting 90 minutes if you stumble upon it, but not something I would recommend you actively seek out.

jt. Akron (2015) - 7.6 - Solid college-age gay romance, without the necessary "coming out" drama. The main conflict happens at the start, and drives the plot and tension forward for most of the rest of the film. It's a tad contrived, but it's still a different scenario to thrust a budding romance into, so I'm glad they tried something different.

ju. Fin de siglo [End of the Century] (2019) - 8.0 - Talking with a friend, he described a film as a warm hug, and this is how I feel about EOTC. Barcelona is a great setting, and the two leads have good chemistry together. There's a bit of a time jump, and the actors both play themselves twenty years apart, but I didn't care about the visual inconsistencies as I was too enamoured with the plot and the central romance. It's slow, but moves along at an easy pace. Recommended.

jv. Carícies [Caresses] (1998) - 6.8 - Another Barcelona-set ensemble piece from Ventura Pons, this one entirely in Catalan. Each scene is with two people, linked to each other one by one until it circles back to the first couple. It's a film I'd been wanting to see for years since I saw glimpses of it on a television when I lived in Spain (I think), so while I'm glad I finally figured out which film it was and got to see it, it's not that great. It's based on a play, so might work better that way, and some of the relationships are, er... weird, for lack of a better term. Only a few queer characters out of the 11 on screen, plus a weird possibly incestuous father-son pairing that takes place in a bathtub. The film also seems to jump back and forth in time, which confused me until I realized that.

jw. The Queen (1968) - 7.8 - Here's what I wrote on Letterboxd (mild spoilers, but not really):

Sometimes with older films I need to remind myself that they didn't have all the tools available to us today. I really liked The Queen, but I kept wanting more - I wanted to know more about the contestants (such as their names, even), their life situations, the behind the scenes goings-on of the pageant, etc. It's only 90 minutes or so, but I could have sat through another hour of content and still not been bored.

But then I have to remember that this was made pre-Stonewall, when gay people and drag queens were not welcomed by society - indeed both were technically illegal. So names are naturally withheld, backstories are glossed over, and secrets remain. Plus, some contestants didn't sign the release forms so they aren't even credited in the final product (such as Miss Manhattan, Crystal).

So I have to be content with what's been given, and marvel at the fact that this even got made, and that we are lucky enough to have even just a glimpse at what these queens lived through in the '60s. The fact that this premiered/screened at Cannes surprised me, but it's relative success seemed to do little for the director - I can't find any information about him, even though he made a few more films later.

Going into this, I already knew about Crystal LaBeija's spotlight-stealing moment, but I didn't put two and two together to realize that her iconic moment only happens in the last 5 minutes of the film. Still, worth the wait.

jx. Plaire, aimer et courir vite [Sorry Angel] (2018) - 7.8 - It's subtle and slow and not quite what I had expected, but it's oh so marvellous. I knew Pierre Deladonchamps was great after Stranger by the Lake and A Kid, but Vincent Lacoste was surprisingly good, after having only seen him in The French Kissers and Fathers & Sons. It's also an AIDS drama, but doesn't place that front and centre of the story, preferring to have it as only one piece of the puzzle that makes up the characters lives instead of being all-consuming (which, since this is set in the mid-90s, makes sense, since by the AIDS was still devastating and deadly but was starting to become more manageable).

jy. We the Animals (2018) - 7.8 - A very tender coming of age of a queer boy of 9 or 10 (I forget which birthday he has in the film). Loosely follows a narrative, but this is much more about mood and imagery than specific plot points, and the interspersed animated child's drawings really suit that mood, I think. It also really sells the idea that we are products of our circumstances, no matter how hard we try to fight those and give ourselves (and our children) a chance at a better life.

jz. To My Women Friends (1993) - 7.6 - A Russian documentary about lesbians in St. Petersburg. Given the hostile environment for queer folk in Russia, the women in this were surprisingly frank about their lives. No one on screen is credited, though, likely to protect them. Feels like an underground production, but I'm very glad to have caught this.

Boys on Film 19: No Ordinary Boy - I finished all the shorts in this compilation DVD over the last few months. A mixed bag they were.
ka-i. Four Quartets (2018) - 7.4 - all right, nothing special.
ka-ii. Michael Joseph Jason John (2018) - 7.0 - odd thriller about the risks of hooking up AND how gay men fantasize the ideal partner.
ka-iii. Run(a)way Arab (2018) - 7.6 - An Arab drag queen gets ready for a performance, taking about their life.
ka-iv. Vi finns inte längre [No More We] (2018) - 7.8 - A gay couple breaks up... now what. This has been turned into a feature film (or maybe the film is a sequel to the short, not sure), which I'm rather interested to see, as it shows the ex-couple navigating their mutual friendships and getting back into the dating scene.
ka-v. Dusk (2017) - 6.2 - An elderly trans man who used to be a lesbian talks about an incident in their past that profoundly shaped their future. Nice and sentimental, but ultimately I found it shallow.
kb-i. Meatoo (2018) - 7.6 - An actor auditions for a role in a film... or does he? A look at how men in power prey on the young and vulnerable, based on the director's own experiences.
kb-ii. Blood Out of a Stone (2018) - 8.0 - I would totally fall in love with this guy if that was our first date!
kb-iii. Between Here & Now (2018) - 7.8 - A budding romance between a Danish man and an Italian man in Copenhagen on holiday... or is he?
kb-iv. Jermaine and Elsie (2017) - 7.6 - Great little drama about a homecare worker and one of his belligerent patients. The two leads are great, but the circumstances of Jermaine are intentionally vague and don't really make sense aside from creating "drama".
kb-v. Maacher Jhol [The Fish Curry] (2017) - 7.4 - An animated film about a gay man coming out to his father over fish curry dinner. It was okay.

Wow! You've really worked the challenge and then some, Fergie!

Heh. Was particularly inspired this past month I guess.

And I've more or less turned this thread into my own personal log of queer and queer-adjacent films that I see, as a place to put down some of my musings without needing to log reviews on other sites.

It's great! I need to go back through it and see what I can get from the library. I've been lousy at logging my own LGBTQ watches.

--. You've Got Mail (1998) - 7.6 - Overall I think this movie is a good update on the story, and Nora Ephron is indeed a great writer, but the gay jokes in this were bad.

Spoiler

Tom Hanks's stepmom is hitting on him left right and centre throughout the film, and then she goes on to run away with her kid's nanny? And it's all played for laughs. Way to play up the predatory bisexual trope. Entirely unnecessary and a blemish on an otherwise decent film. Not cool. There was another throwaway gay joke I think, but I've forgotten what it was, thankfully.

kc. Saturday Church (2017) - 5.6 - I wanted to like this, but it crammed in every single cliche about a feminine gay teen coming out in the big city, all in a swift 75 minutes. I mean, seriously,

Spoiler

the kid runs away from home and within 24 hours he's sleeping in a shelter for the first time and has his wallet stolen, and then he meets a kind older gentleman who happens to be a predator and he prostitutes himself right away? It's great to have a story focused almost exclusively on non-white characters, but at least give them some realistic storylines and actual character development.

Some unexpected musical numbers and pre-Pose Mj Rodriguez & Indya Moore (I wonder if this film got them auditions for the series, since it's also about the NY ballroom scene, or if they'd already been cast) are perhaps the only highlights.

--. Team America: World Police (2004) - 7.8 - I know Parker & Stone are intentionally stirring the pot and are offending everyone, but

Spoiler

making the secondary villains the F.A.G. (Film Actors Guild) crossed a line for me. We've been villainized enough, thanks. I had no problem with the non-gay blowjob, though - except the fact that they had no problem showing fully "nudity" during the hetero sex scene, showing various positions including fellatio and 69ing, but they didn't show anything during the homo sex scene. With the puppets not having genitals, was that still going to garner an NC-17 rating (or worse)? What gives?

--. Police Academy (1984) - 6.6 - More bad gay jokes that did not age well.

kd. Princess Cyd (2017) - 7.8 - Stephen Cone is 3/3 with me. A bit slow and dialogue-heavy at the start (and bordering on pseudo-intellectual), it hits its stride after about thirty minutes and flows beautifully after this. After two films dealing heavily with religion and homophobia and coming out, this film didn't have a hint of anti-gayness at all, which was refreshing. I also think it captured the sense of figuring yourself out as a teen really well, especially for the current generation that is less encumbered by labels and other bullshit that us older generations have saddled ourselves with.

[Fergenaprido]

--. Cavalcade (1933) - 7.2 - Toward the end of the film, there's a scene where one or two of the central characters walk by an outdoor cafe or something, and there are two women at a table, and two men at another table. The way they're positioned and show affection to each other made me think that they might be intended to be gay couples, as I think this part took place in the 1920s, as a sign that things were "opening up" and society was "progressing and moving on". Since this came out the year before the Hays Code was implemented, it wouldn't be totally out of place. Aside from that, it's a decent film, not as horrible as the haters would have you believe, but not Best Picture worthy either.

--. I vitelloni (1953) - 7.4 - I've seen this called a queer film, but I don't see it, unless there's something hidden among the fraternity I didn't pick up on. There is the older gentleman who tries to seduce one of the young men, but it's in a scene so brief and so coded that I imagine a lot of people will miss it; the only clue is that the old man wants to go down by the waterside with the young gentleman, and when they finally get there the young man panics and flees, to which the elder one says he was only joking. Blink and you miss it, really. Otherwise, pretty good film, but I expected more from it.

ke. Blockers (2018) - 7.8 - While only one of the six main characters is gay (a budding lesbian), her queerness is integral to the plot and drives it forward at parts, as well as contributes to the character development of her and her father. She even gets a love interest. It's enough for me to consider this a fully queer film. There is one scene with the adult trio and a married couple that some might read as "gay panic", but I don't think it was, and actually I consider the way that scene was handled to be quite good - any hesitancy at same-sex sexual interaction is treated more as that character's personal boundaries/devotion to his wife than to any homophobia. The teenage scenes were more grounded, coming-of-age style, while the parent scenes were more lowbrow comedy, but somehow the two halves mixed and it was a sweet, positive film overall.

kf. Los héroes del mal [The Heroes of Evil] (2015) - 7.6 - I'm on the fence about whether or not this one counts as a queer film. I'm including it for now as containing "significant/interesting queer elements", but I don't think I'd ever consider it a full-on queer film. It started off not to my taste, but grew on me until I actually quite liked it by the end. I might rewatch it someday and pay closer attention to some details at the start to see if I can pick up on any queer signals.

My Letterboxd review, which has a lot of spoilers

This started of stylish and off-kilter, so much so that I almost turned it off after ten minutes. I stuck with it, though, and is steadily and gradually pulled me in and turned into a slower and more sombre film. By the end, a film I was "meh" about really had me thinking and contemplating a rewatch.

The first half is rash, brash, and violent, mirroring the actions and feelings of the central trio. Even though most of the violence is off-screen, it was still forceful and sudden enough to make me turn away or pause the screen. So fair warning to those who are put off by gore and violence: smashing people's heads with bricks, kicking them while their down, and a fair bit of blood all happen onscreen, even if much of the violence is implied.

The gay/homoerotic elements of the film are much less prevalent than what online chatter made me believe, and for the large part of the film I doubted there was any queerness aside from a brief goaded kiss between Esteban and Aritz. Plus, there's a lot of anti-gay slurs thrown around in the first half by almost all the teenage characters. By the end of the film, though, I was beginning to question my own doubts. The last 10-15 minutes are tender, yet brutal and tragic, and I was gripped by the sudden peeling back of layers that had been built up over the course of the film.

It started out as something frivolous for me, but by the end it felt consequential, and an interesting (if slightly unrealistic) portrayal of disaffected youth plagued by self-doubt and other insecurities and neglected by society, trying to find a place for themselves.

My next update will be a big one thanks to the official queer challenge this month.

[Fergenaprido]

I'm going to reuse all of the write-ups I did for the queer challenge here.

kg. Dear Dad (2016) - 6.6 - Dear Dad was very bland and by-the book. I was hoping for a lot more. Father goes on a road trip with his teenage son to drop him off at boarding school, and also to try and come out to him. What should have been a sweet drama had random moments of comedy forcibly inserted into the film that really felt jarring to the overall mood of the film.

kh. Benjamin (2018) - 7.0 - Benjamin was very promising, but ultimately fell short. It's only 90 minutes, and the central romance doesn't really get solidified until the 70 minute mark, at which point there's no time to explore or develop that relationship, and strangely the film jumps to other characters. Most of the secondary characters were caricatures, IMO, and pulled the film down from what it could have been. A short seen with Benjamin's ex starts out great, but within 3 minutes the character is reduced to pandering to him, right after brilliantly putting him in his place. It made no sense whatsoever. Still, I do adore Colin Morgan (of Merlin fame), and Phénix Brossard seems to have found his niche (French boyfriend of insecure English boys), so I still liked it overall.

ki. Hamam [Steam: The Turkish Bath] (1997) - 8.0 - Hamam was marketed as a sexy, steamy, romantic gay drama. I'd been looking for it for ages so was thrilled when I finally managed to find it with English subtitles. It's less sexy and erotic than the promos would have you believe, but it's a great film regardless. The male romantic pairing doesn't do anything remotely sexual/romantic until the last thirty minutes of the film, when they start to kiss. There's a lot of prelude to that, though, and you can see them getting closer and closer over time. I'm calling it Bi because the lead is into both men and women, and presumably the other guy is as well (though it's never stated one way or the other). Without giving away too much more, I recommend this film, but be prepared for more of a serious contemplative drama than a sexy one.

68. Fingersmith (2005) - 8.0 - Fingersmith is one of those mini-series I'd been putting off for ages simply because of the length. This challenge is a good opportunity to finally get around to them (Tipping the Velvet and Oranges Are the Only Fruit are two more I have lined up). This three-hour drama starts of rather dull and typical for a period piece, except it's two women in love. Nothing really to write about, but then at the halfway mark things take a turn and the last half is a bit of a whirlwind, which was more than enough to make up for the slow first half - even though it made sense for it to be like that, lulling you into a false sense of calm and security, as if you know where things are going. I'm now more curious to see The Handmaiden, so see how they transplanted this story to Korea.

69. Pixote: A Lei do Mais Fraco [Pixote, the Law of the Weakest] (1981) - 8.0 - Glad I saw this restored. Good film overall, though definitely difficult to watch at times. One supporting characters is a transgirl, but there's a general sense of queerness that permeates throughout, and she's in about 75% of the film. I skipped the Babenco documentary that was on Mubi a few months back, but now I may consider watching it since I've finally seen one of his films. There's also a doc about the lead actor, who died young.

kj. Jin nian xi tian [Fish and Elephant] (2001) - 7.0 - Fish and Elephant has a definite low-budget indie quality to it. I thought the title was nicknames for the two leads, but it's actually referring to real fish and a real elephant in the film. The picture is so dark I thought the two leads were the same person until their second scene together. The actors were all non-actors, apparently, and it wouldn't surprise me if this film was shot surreptitiously. Still, while some people may be put off by its amateurishness, I quite liked it. I wish this film got a restoration, considering it's on the BFI Flare list.

--. Tales of the City (1993) - 5.5ish - Episode 1: Tales of the City was leaving Netflix at the end of the month, so I decided to watch it since it's only 6 episodes and it's on a couple queer lists and it's rated highly on imdb. One episode in, though, and I'm scratching my head. It's all over the place, very stilted and a tad soapy, which is surprising considering how many notable actors are in this. I'm going to give it a chance and finish it, but for now, I don't get the acclaim.
Episode 2: I tried to give Tales of the City another go, but the second episode was even worse than the first, so I gave up. Just boring, and the timeline seemed to keep skipping forward unannounced. I'll catch the last 4 episodes some day, but not today. I'll count this as an entry once I finish the mini-series.

70. Querelle (1982) - 6.6 - Querelle was very different than from what I was expecting. Definitely atmospheric, but I don't know if I actually liked it. Curious as to how true to Genet's original novel it is. It might be the most erotic boring film ever, or the most boring erotic film ever. At least the questionable dubbing wasn't too distracting.

kk. Inxeba [The Wound] (2017) - 7.8 - I also don't know if I liked The Wound or not. It was a great drama, and explored a culture I'm very unfamiliar with. I'm glad there was no explicit nudity, especially during the circumcision scene; I feel like it would have been exploitative of the initiates and wouldn't have jived with the mood of the film. That ending, though. I can't decide if it was brilliant or terrible. Also, FYI for those interested in the matter: two goats may or may not have been killed onscreen. The first I think 100% was (and I believe it was eaten in the next scene), the second was mostly off camera so I'm not sure. I forgot to check the credits for any mention of it after.

kl. Los novios búlgaros [Bulgarian Lovers] (2003) - 7.6 - It took me over a decade to track down a copy of Bulgarian Lovers with subtitles. It ended up being not quite what I thought it would be, but it was still some campy fun. I'm glad I finally watched it, and I'm looking forward to more transgressive films from Eloy de la Iglesia.

71. Blue (1993) - 3.8 - I completely understand the concept behind Blue, but I was so bored. So, so bored. I put on my headphones and shut my eyes so that I wouldn't get distracted by things more interesting than a blue screen (i.e. almost anything), and I still found my mind wandering or starting to fall asleep. It's quite the unique swan song for a director, but it's not to my liking. Interestingly enough, my first de la Iglesia and Jarman films were their last ones.

--. Rita ou Rito?... [Rita or Rito?] (1927) - 4.8 - I thought Rita or Rito? was going to be a cross-dressing, possibly trans, early film to finally cross off the T and the pre-60s boxes in the bonus challenge. Alas, this was a terrible romantic comedy where cross-dressing by two characters is merely a disguise (which is fine), and the first (main) one is revealed almost as soon as he shows up on screen. Plus, you have not one, but two people in blackface (an actor, and then one of the characters), and over-the-top racist and overprotective father, and a farcical female doctor pushing her quack pills on everyone for everything. It's short, coming in at 41 minutes, and there are indeed some worthy sight gags, and the film doesn't take itself seriously at all (the doctor is Dr. Pills, for example), but the unnecessary blackface really pulls this one down a lot for me. Plus, no queerness made this feel like the waste of a slot for this month's challenge.

km. A Rosa Azul de Novalis [The Blue Flower of Novalis] (2018) - 5.4 - Novalis is not for everyone. The film opens and closes with shots of the main subject's asshole. It's also half-documentary, half-theatre piece. The documentary side of things works quite well, especially given that I had no idea who this guy was going into it (I still don't really know who he is in general, but I do feel I know what he's like more personally), but then it segues into these scripted pieces that feel forced and really break the trust with the audience - since these reenactments were pieces of fiction, how can I now trust the other information he's given me when he's supposedly himself? Also, some not-so-graphic anal sex and some very explicit fellatio might not endear people to the film, though those aspects didn't really phase me. Plus, I just found the guy (or at least the character he wants to portray to us onscreen) terribly annoying, not least because of his beliefs about star signs. Interesting? Perhaps, to some people. Good? No, not really.

kn. Fire Song (2015) - 7.4 - Fire Song I'd also been putting off for a while; I almost started watching it two or three times this past year. It's a heartfelt attempt at showcasing the difficulties of being gay (or just being different) on a small, isolated reservation in northern Ontario. I don't have firsthand experience of what that is like, but there's been a lot of it in the news over the years, and I've seen some documentaries by indigenous filmmakers baring the plight of these communities and how the government and society at large has failed them. That portrayal (leaking rooves, high youth suicide rates, emigration, unemployment, etc.) feels far more authentic than the gay romance at the centre of the story. Most of the secondary characters are partially fleshed out as well, which is great, but I found the first half better than the second, and I wanted better for the Tara character. Overall, it was worthwhile, but it just felt clumsy, which prevented me from rating it any higher. Had some gorgeous nighttime misty shots, though.

ko. Beautiful Boxer (2004) - 7.4 - Beautiful Boxer started out pretty badly, with questionable acting and writing, mediocre production value, and a general dullness. I almost turned it off after 15 minutes. But strangely, the filmmaking seemed to mature along with the character, and the portrayal of Toom is the best part of the film. Always sensitive to the feelings of the character, never feeling exploitative, and having some pretty great fight scenes. This grew on me over time, and it really was a groundbreaking piece of cinema in my mind: The film came out less than 5 years after the events in the story (with one person playing herself!), didn't feel sensationalized, and came from a country, while seen from Western eyes as liberating and sexually adventures (especially with regards to transgendered folk and "ladyboys"), which was/is still rather conservative. Overall, a job well done.

kp. Machboim [Hide and Seek] (1980) - 7.2 - Hide and Seek is much less queer than I was led to believe, and I'm going to change the summary on imdb since it gives a false impression of what to expect. It's much more about the coming of age of a boy and his friends in post-WWII British Mandate of Palestine, before Israeli statehood. Trying to fit in, trying to be old enough, trying to be brave enough, and trying to heal from the wounds inflicted on them by the Holocaust, all jumble together in a cauldron of confusion. The heart of the story (and what is marketed as the central conflict, but it's only the secondary one in my mind), is the gay teacher. Purportedly the first "gay" film from Israel, a country in modern times which is well-known for it's acceptable of queer folk and a vibrant queer cinematic culture, this 40-year-old film gives insight into a time before this. Food for thought: the time difference between when the film was made and when the film was set (~32 years) is less than the time difference between now and the year of release (41 years).

kq. Bwakaw (2012) - 7.6 - I've wanted to see Bwakaw since it first started showing at the festival circuit a decade ago. Miraculously (thanks to Santo Entierro, no doubt), it popped up on Netflix a few months ago. A variation on the theme of "old gays" seen in Hollywood, and coming between the release of Beginners (2010) and Love Is Strange (2014), this is less polished and shiny than either film, but it feels more grounded. Not that the other two stories are more fanciful or less moored in reality, but this one was grittier. Starring an icon of Pinoy cinema (Eddie Garcia) with some notable supporting roles (including Rez Cortez - Insiang's boyfriend Bebot from the 1976 film - who reminds me of Malaysia's Harith Iskander), the bitter exterior of an old gay man who came out late in life slowly crumbles away after his beloved dog falls terminally ill. More drama than comedy, but it's moments of black humour are devilishly delightful, and had me cackling throughout.

kr. Cola de Mono [Monkey Tail] (2018) - 7.0 - Cola de mono is billed as a drama/thriller, but I found it much more drama with only brief thrills. Full frontal male nudity and some explicit oral sex may deter many folks, but there's much less of it than the marketing would have you believe. Roughly split into three parts, I've seen people discount the first part as boring, but it was my favourite by far, probably because it's the most narrative. More aesthetic and moody are the second two parts, which are also sexier and gayer. Like, cruising in the park and bathhouses gayer. Some questionable writing choices (the film is partially autobiographical), and starring real life siblings as the two brothers, it has it's highs and lows. The best was probably the music of Chilean band Upa!, who I'm now going to explore more, with a great song serving as both the opener and the closer (Creo que voy a morir [I Think I'm Going to Die]).

ks. Soldier's Girl (2003) - 8.0 - Soldier's Girl was an achingly beautiful portrayal of the consequences of intolerance. A definite tragedy, but I'm glad this story was told and portrayed so sensitively and sensibly, without trying to make it feel like it was ripped from the tabloid headlines. The fact that this also was instrumental in getting DADT repealed is icing on the cake. Don't let it's "tv-movie" tag deter you; this Sundance film is worth watching. Lee Pace has a great debut, and Troy Garity (who I just discovered is Jane Fonda's son) does a wonderful job as well.

kt. Été 85 [Summer of 85] (2020) - 7.8 - Summer of 85 felt like it could have been better, but I still really enjoyed it, and it's another success with Ozon for me. I tried to find the book it's based on at my local library, but they surprisingly don't have anything by the author. I really want to read the book now (Ozon said it was one that he really liked as a teen, and he kept waiting/expecting Hollywood to make it, but they never did, so he jumped at the chance when it was presented to him).

ku. El cazador [Young Hunter] (2020) - 8.0 - If you're expecting another slow, sexy, gay romantic drama from Berger in Young Hunter, this is not his usual fare. The biggest difference is probably the amount of on-screen nudity: Berger's never been one to shy away from showing skin (and dick) in his films, but given that this is about two teenagers and deals with child pornography, he wisely avoids it, save for a few voyeuristic shots of adults as seen through the young teens' eyes (or blurred in the background or in dim lighting). A lot of the intimacy is implied, which helps build up the mystery aspect of the film. I think the way the music was intentionally used to be disquieting, especially right before moments of expected sexytime, did a really good job at trying to get us to question what we were seeing, and why we get turned on by the things that turn us on (or something to that effect - I can't find the words to explain it). The first lead is very brooding the entire time, and the second lead puts on a lot of bravado, yet still comes across as tender. It's a film I'll be thinking about for a while.

72. Nighthawks (1978) - 7.8 - I get why Nighthawks didn't connect with the few other challenge participants thus far, but this hit home for me. Some 45 years later, a lot of the things in this film are still true to the gay community: getting irritated that you have come out over and over and over again, searching for love in all the wrong places, trying to separate your work life from your private life as a means of protecting yourself (especially when you're still in the closet), and just generally trying to find your own little piece of happiness in a world that isn't always too thrilled to have you around. Some of the scenes don't really work (mostly the conversations with the female coworker), but the way the repetitiveness of the lead's life carried out worked for me. I loved the dance scenes, almost voyeuristic, with the same pulsing beat in most of them. And it's low budget made everyone feel real, almost like a documentary. No endless parade of half-naked models in the clubs, but rather real bodies with real awkward interactions. I liked this film, warts and all.

kv. Shahid [Martyr] (2017) - 6.6 - While not explicitly gay or queer at all, Martyr is still definitively a queer film, competing for the Queer Lion at Venice. The director has acknowledged this as well, but even if he hadn't, it's evident in almost every shot, the way the camera stares and lingers on the bodies of the men in the frame, focusing on certain body parts or the way their bodies interact with each other. The premise of the film is quite interesting, but the execution didn't maintain my interest. I learned more about Muslim funeral rites from pausing the film and reading about them online than from anything in the film (not that it was the film's job to educate me on the subject), as well as why drowning victims are considered martyrs in Islam (along with others who die certain tragic deaths... quite interesting distinctions, actually). Also, the film doesn't really bother to introduce any of the characters at all, so you don't really get to know or care for anyone, so when the titular tragedy happens, I just kind of shrugged it off since the character hadn't made any impression on me yet. I feel like this could have been so much more, even if all the queer elements had been removed. I suppose I just prefer narrative films, but this one is definitely style over substance, and left me unfulfilled.

kw. Casa Roshell (2017) - 5.6 - I was going to watch This Is Not Berlin and 52 Tuesdays to hit a North American and another Trans film for the bonus challenges, when I discovered Casa Roshell was streaming on Mubi and covers both those categories, so I watched that instead, and freed up a slot for another film. Purportedly a documentary, this film felt overly-staged and over-produced. Nothing really happens, you don't really get to know any of the people, and because of the way it was filmed I question if anything that was depicted on screen was real. Blissfully short, you can skip this one unless you're trying to complete the Cinema Tropical 2010s list. Oh, and Roshell herself reminded me a lot of Pandora Boxx in the way she painted her face.

73. The Killing of Sister George (1968) - 8.2 - I'd never really known much about The Killing of Sister George, and the title alone made me think it was some forgettable farce that treated queer characters as a punchline. But it's on a bunch of lists, so I finally decided to see it, and by golly, I was pleasantly surprised. From the same year as the grande finale of the big Hollywood studio musicals (Oliver!), this film doesn't villainize it's queer leads, but doesn't sanctify them either. They're simply fallible humans, and I found myself loathing and laughing with George alternately throughout the film. The lead actress was even nominated for a Globe, so how this film didn't usher in a new era of queer films in mainstream Hollywood is beyond me, especially since this is presented as a film for everyone, not just lesbians. But instead, we had to retreat to for us by us fare like The Boys in the Band, that were brilliant and wonderful but never had any hope in Hell at reaching a wider audience. Despite it's length, George pulled me in and I found it increasingly compelling, with some great scenery-chewing scenes. Despite how unpleasant she could be, I was rooting for her right until the very end.

kx. Caged (1950) - 7.6 - I get why Caged can be considered lesbian-themes, with a couple of coded characters, but it mostly comes across as a straight (pun-intended) drama to me. I definitely see how it was a precursor to all those sexploitation lesbians-in-prison films, though. Good film overall, and as someone who only knows Eleanor Parker as the Baroness from The Sound of Music, this was quite a dramatic difference; a well-deserved Oscar nomination for her, in my mind.

The two Yann Gonzalez shorts were duds for me; I only saw them because they were tagged as queer and expiring on Mubi two weeks back. The third is a short film that I absolutely loved - The Last Time I Saw Richard was a great moody genre piece with a queer sensibility. The director's follow-up feature, Boys in the Trees, is a spiritual sequel that I'm looking forward to watching even more now. Plus, I plan to seek out more films that Toby Wallace is in; he was excellent. Time Out was amateurish, and felt more like a pitch for the feature film version that's available on Netflix; still the message was positive so I may still watch it and hope that the production values have increased. Ray's... vies with Caged for the straightest film I saw this month, but it really is queer even if all the men in the film are straight; a pretty good satire, though I'll have to watch the other shorts from that year to see if it really merited the Oscar. Wastelands was pretty but lacking in substance until the end, and even then, well.. meh. Inner Jellyfishes was a bit too artsy-fartsy for me; I understood the main character, but didn't care for him until the scene towards the end with the most dialogue. The intercut scenes with jellyfishes (but with whale noises?) were unnecessary and blunt, the shaky-camera when following the lead walking outside was headache-inducing, but the soundtrack was great and I didn't mind the strobe-lights.

[Fergenaprido]

--. Luca (2021) - 8.0 - Great film, but not queer at all in my books. The parallels with CMBYN are really just two guys in Italy in the summer.

la. Speech & Debate (2017) - 7.4 - I wrote about this extensively on Letterboxd, mostly just asking questions. There is great potential here, and the three leads are likeable, but the film falls flat pretty much everywhere else.

--. The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) - 6.8 - There's a queer character who shows up for 3 or 4 scenes near the beginning, and helps move along the plot a little, but then the character gets dropped and disappears from the rest of the film. I would have counted this if they had stuck around a little bit longer, or been more impactful in the film. Pleasantly surprised to see positive queer representation in a mainstream film from the 1970s, no matter how trivial.

--. La taglia è tua… l'uomo l'ammazzo io [The Reward's Yours… The Man's Mine (El Puro)] (1969) - 4.8 - Bad spaghetti western. The tipping point for me was seemingly making the main villain as queer/gay/bisexual for a brief scene, thereby furthering the stereotype/trope. They don't even follow up with that with any subtle sexual tension or homoerotic glances throughout the rest of the film, taking that premise nowhere. Even without that, the film's pretty blah.

--. Sam sei goon [Justice, My Foot!] (1992) - 8.2 - I really liked this action comedy with Chow & Mui, despite having two bumbling gay men as part of the villains' coterie. Similar to Panther, if they had been in the movie for longer or had more of an impact on the plot, I would have counted this film. As it is, they're just pawns, and sometimes the butt of the joke.

[Fergenaprido]

lb. My Brother... Nikhil (2005) - 7.0 - A rare Indian Queer film, but the novelty of it isn't enough to make it good. The subject matter is important, and it's based on a real-life incident, I think, but the narration style didn't work for me, which was unfortunate. Still, I will seek out more films by this queer director, as this was one of his first and there were definite high points.

lc. Esto no es Berlín [This Is Not Berlin] (2019) - 8.0 - Great film that has a lot of queer sensibilities without focusing exclusively on the queerness of the lead characters. Not as provocative as I'd thought it would be, but I think that made me like it more.

ld. Hónglóumèng [The Story of the Stone] (2018) - 8.2 - Taiwanese gay retelling of a classic Chinese story, I think this was visually gorgeous and overall worked quite well. Definitely not a film that cares about pandering to the straights.

le. The 20th Century (2019) - 8.2 - Perhaps a borderline case, but I think it's queer enough to count... genderblind casting aside, there are some decidedly queer characters in the film, including the main antagonist/frenemy. This exceeded all expectations I had going in.

lf. Absences répétées [Repeated Absences] (1972) - 6.4 - Another questionable case, as it's never clear (to me, at least) if the lead and his male friend are something more than friends or not. It certainly implies as much in some scenes, while seemingly dismissing the thought in others. The second Gilles film I've seen with queer elements that I didn't expect.

lg. Dance Me to My Song (1998) - 7.8 - One could argue that exploring the sexuality of a physically disabled person is queer in and of itself, but for me it's rather the inclusion of the woman's lesbian sister that qualifies this for me. She's only in a few scenes, but plays a key role in the film, acting as a foil to the lead's caretaker. A difficult film to watch, but one I would highly recommend.

lh. Especial de Natal: Se Beber, Não Ceie [The Last Hangover] (2018) - 7.8 - Hilarious, irreverent spoof of The Hangover laid over the story of the Last Supper. The way they incorporated all of the little details was hilarious, and at least two or three of the apostles are gay (and maybe more). Best for those who are familiar with the story in the Bible, but don't take it too seriously.

li. A Primeira Tentação de Cristo [The First Temptation of Christ] (2019) - 7.6 - Saw this because of the recent uproar about it in Brazil (surprisingly, the previous special by this troupe didn't attract any media attention, despite their similar styles and ways of breaking taboos). Even gayer than the earlier one, this time it's Jesus who may or may not be gay and may or may not have brought home his new lover for his 30th birthday party. Combining details from the Christmas story and Jesus's 40 days in the desert, this wasn't as strong as the Easter film, but certainly had it's moments. God as a petty birthfather masquerading as the cool uncle was pretty great.

[Fergenaprido]

lj. Kanarie [Canary] (2018) - 8.4 - Excellent film about an Afrikaaner drafted into the South African army during the Apartheid 1980s, who joins the army choir in hopes of escaping the worst of it all. Trying to reconcile his homosexuality with his religious upbringing and surroundings lead to a lot of self-loathing and internal conflict that occasionally spills over into his barracks, which include two other closeted gays as well. I'm interested to see how it compares to Moffie, a similarly-themed film that came out the year after.

lk. Wildhood (2021) - 7.6 - Caught this one at TIFF, via their digital screenings. Good story about a half-indigenous teen leaving his abusive stepfather with his half-brother in tow, in order to find his mother who abandoned the family long ago. He connects with an indigenous guy on the road and the trio end up travelling together for this search, while the lead explores his feelings for his new friend. A big improvement over the original short, there's a lot more anti-native sentiment than there is anti-gay feelings in the film (though the abusive stepfather demonstrates both), and I quite liked this film. I'm glad I was able to catch it upon release, because who knows how long it will take to get a proper cinema run or make its way to a streaming platform.

lm. Holding the Man (2015) - 7.4 - I was rather looking forward to this one, but it left me unsatisfied. It was still decent, but I was expecting more, and overall it just felt really clunky. Plus, the lead character was quite an unlikeable ass at times. The time jumps were confusing at first, but started to make more sense the further along it got. An important story to tell, for sure, and it's both sad and inspiring to know it's based on a true story, but it just didn't work for me.

--. Rush Hour 2 (2001) - 7.2 - The one scene with Jeremy Piven as a gay fashion retail clerk was not terribly offensive, but neither was it that funny. Throw in some casual gay panic every time the two leads are too close for (straight) comfort for good measure. Overall, decent action comedy and decent sequel that could have left out the anti-gay jokes and stereotypes and been all the better for it.

--. Baby Bump (2015) - 6.0 - Not sure why this is tagged as queer in some places. Weird AF, for sure, but hardly queer, despite the fact that the lead imagines himself getting pregnant and growing breasts at one point. Also, not a film for me, despite the fact that I was eagerly anticipating this one. One review on a poster call it Lynchian... that may be accurate, and also should have been a warning sign for me.

Wife bought a pass to the Seattle Queer Film Festival, so I thought I'd report what I manage to watch...

No Straight Lines: The Rise of Queer Comics (2021)

This is a talking heads documentary that focuses on the rise of queer comics artists, from the early days of independent comics, through newspaper strips, to graphic novels and internet-based comics. Featuring interviews with several historic and contemporary artists, we see how the art form evolved and grew. I quite liked it - featured a ton of artwork and served as a really nice introduction to this art form. Nice message and story on representation and diverse perspectives. Plus a ton of time on Alison Bechdel and her work, which was super cool to see and had nothing to do with her "test".

Rebel Dykes (2021)

This documentary was an interesting look at the "rebel dykes" from the British feminism movement. Focusing on the pro-sex lesbians coming out of the punk movement in the UK, this doc traced their history from the early days of just trying to exist through actually becoming a political force. Helpful to know a bit of feminism history for context, but not strictly necessary. Fun look into this part of the broader movement.

Gemmel & Tim (2021)

This is a surprisingly satisfying true crime doc, centering on two young men who were found to have died of a meth overdose in a politician's apartment. You have personal stories, conspiracies, political intrigue, social commentary, and honest-to-god murders all wrapped up in this doc. Very cool to see.

Boulevard! A Hollywood Story (2021)

And here we have the story of how Gloria Swanson tried to turn Sunset Boulevard into a Broadway musical. If you're into Hollywood history, this is worth checking out. You get the story as told first-hand from several key players as well as some insight into what's going on behind the scenes. Traces it all the way up through modern day when it (kinda) became a reality.

Baloney (2021)

This is the story of the first all gay* all male** burlesque revue in San Francisco. It talk about what they're doing, their motivation behind it, and what they hope others get out of it. You get to see lots of performances and rehearsals and hear the stories of the people performing. Tons of fun and filled with joy.
*Except for the "token straight". **There's also a woman.

P.S. Burn This Letter Please (2021)

This is probably the most intimate doc I've seen so far in this festival. There was this cache of old letters found in a storage locker that were from members of the NYC drag community back in the 50s and 60s. The filmmakers tracked down who these people were/are and told their story. So you get to hear about what it was like in that life at the time, what being in drag meant to these people, and hear fun and interesting stories from back in the day. Lots of photos and quite a few interviews with people still living. Really a sweet and personal doc that I absolutely loved.

looks like loads of fun!

It's a ton of fun! We're doing the virtual path - and Wife is trying desperately to get her money's worth. Biggest complaint is that we didn't discover it until it was halfway done. Next year, we'll plan better.

ah! I was wondering since I know you two are probably even more concerned about you-know-what than I am I've tried a couple "free" virtual festivals this year, but always end up with geoblocking (I assume) problems that can't be solved so it's another "fuck it, not worth the energy"

no idea what happened to Portland LGBTQ film fest though I'm not one to go to such events even when we're pandemic-free. Now if we had something like it in my town and I felt I could afford it, maybe, but the only way it's likely to happen is if I started planning it and I couldn't be bothered.

I'll just drift back into my hole and silently watch films on my own. Good enough for me!

We'll see how it goes next year - this year it was open virtually to WA, OR, ID, and AK. They got a remarkably good line-up, so I was pretty pleasantly surprised. Wife wanted this for writing background, too, so she's been heavily invested. But it'll be better once we can plan for it.

And yeah... a crowded festival would be a no-go for us.

Four more from yesterday...

Jump, Darling (2020)

This is probably the one I was most excited to see, and came in as my first favorite of the festival. In her last starring role, Cloris Leachman lives alone while her grandson comes to stay with her after going through a bad breakup. The son is an actor and drag performer who cares for grandma while doing some drag performances at the local queer bar. This hit close to home for me - I just got back from visiting my grandparents, who are 92 and almost-90, who I hadn't seen in two years, so it's tough to see the decline. In many respects, this was a coming-of-age story, both for Cloris Leachman's character coming to grips with end-of-life logistics and trying to avoid the nursing home, and for the grandson who discovers his love and passion again. I found it quite moving and a great send-off for Cloris. RIP.

Adam (2021)

This is a personal doc about a young trans man from Egypt who applies for asylum in Scotland. Nice to hear the struggle within family and society, the struggle to actually be allowed to stay in Scotland, and how people banded together to help along the way.

A Sexplanation (2021)

This is a humorous doc about sex education in the US, covering both what it is and what it should be. I found it particularly interesting that it covered a topic relevant to everyone from the perspective of a gay Asian man. Tons of awkward moments for purpose, good interviews, and a lot of humor. And there was a masturbation session in an MRI machine. Really a solidly fun doc.

The Novice (2021)

A young woman joins the freshman rowing team at her university, only to get obsessed and willing to do anything to make the varsity squad. Billed as a thriller, there was an OK tension build as the film went on, but I wanted to see more from it. Decent enough, but nothing that elevated it beyond a fair rating. I was mostly interested in this because I dated a rower in college, so it was kinda cool to see that sport come to life.

Posting this comment in this thread as well as in the Links to Lists topic in the other forum:

List I just created: The Criterion Channel’s Queersighted series: https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/the+ ... beasterne/

Queersighted is a series from The Criterion Channel that examines film through a queer lens. There have been five installments going back to 2019. I think the films chosen are always quite interesting and appropriate based on the given subject (like Queer Fear, Breaking Taboos, etc). Currently 52 films have been included in the series, and hopefully more will be included in the future.

ln. House of Boys (2009) - 6.6 - Low-budget gay film that seemed to be marketed as fun, campy, trash, but it does strike a rather serious tone at times, and I didn't realize this turned into an AIDS drama by the end of it. The acting is kind of trash, but the guys are hot, Udo Kier is camp, and Stephen Fry is always a joy. It started off forgettable but I think the film improved as it when on (not because it switched to focus on AIDs, but perhaps in spite of it). I was confused by the trans character, though, who is a super femme gai boi who is saving up for their gender reassignment surgery, but we never seem them dressing up as a girl beforehand, which struck me as odd - if you're transgender and want to get surgery to have the woman on the inside reflected on the outside, would you not want to present that way as often as you can beforehand (even if your job requires you to be a fuckable twink)? Overall, kind of a hot mess, but not nearly as terrible as I thought it was going to be.

lm. Lemebel (2019) - 7.4 - Went into this not knowing anything about the poet-activist Lemebel. Came out of it with a better appreciation and understanding of what he did and fought for, but didn't connect so much with the movie itself. Glad to have learned about him, though.

--. The French Dispatch (2021) - 7.8 - Not counting this as a full entry, because it's mentioned that one of the three storytellers is gay near the beginning of his tale, and then his sexuality has nothing to do with anything after that, and nary another word is said about it. So, hurray for it being a non-issue, but booerns for it also being kind of pandering. Still, it was a fun movie, even if it's not one of my favourite Wes Andersons.

74. My Beautiful Laundrette (1985) - 7.8 (REWATCH, upgraded from 7.0) - I've been meaning to rewatch this one for a while, because the rating didn't jive with my positive memories of the film. Plus, the fact that it is one of the best-received queer films of all time made me think perhaps I was missing something. I'm glad I rewatched it. It may not be in my Top 50 queer films of all time, but it's definitely a good and important film, and DDL is riveting, as always. I think there may be elements of Thatcherian England I still don't quite grasp, and there's a fair bit of character backstory I would have preferred to see on screen instead of trying to piece it together afterward, but it's definitely a landmark in queer cinema. It's probably one of the most accessible queer films for straight audiences, too, and I thought the intersections between gender roles, class, sexuality, and race were intertwined nicely. If you're reading this, you've probably already seen it, but if you haven't, I strongly recommend you do.

--. Weird Science (1985) - 7.6 - I didn't think I'd enjoy this film that much, as the premise is VERY misogynistic an wouldn't work at al in modern society. That being said, the friendship between the two boys is very homoerotic, however unintentional, and there were times when it seemed to me they were more like lovers than best friends. I thought Kelly LeBrock was great, and seeing Ilan Mitchell-Smith in women's panties (which made no sense whatsoever), did things to me. Anthony Michael Hall was an impressive teen actor (imagine being 16 and pulling off that scene in the bar), and now I finally know where some of the sampled dialog in Bastille's song "Good Grief" came from.

74. Satree lek [The Iron Ladies] (2000) - 7.8 - This was a hoot! I'm sure they changed a lot of the plot details from the real-life story, but since I wasn't familiar with it it didn't bother me. Glad they included some footage of the real people at the end as well. An inspiring, if somewhat cliched, underdog story with unconventional leads. Queer folk have been fighting for our rightful place in sports for decades, and so to see us on the big screen not only competing but also being successful is huge, especially for a film from Thailand in 2000, before there were many (any?) professional or high-profile athletes who had come out while still actively playing/competing. It's very campy but also deals really well with the issues of masculinity in the queer community, and the anti-femme sentiment that is unfortunately pervasive. The players are the stars and get their moments to shine, but it's the lesbian coach who fights with quiet dignity throughout that really got to me. I'm curious about the sequel.

lo. Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List (2015) - 7.4 - This could have been great, but it's another queer film for straight people that goes out of its way to demonize gay people for trying to figure themselves out and living their own lives instead of being the GBF to the pretty girl next door. The way it was promoted also was confusing, because the film does focus more on the central friendship than on the primary romance that was marketed. Still, it's a decent film with a solid supporting cast that manages to come out all right despite the questionable script. I still don't get the concept of the No Kiss List, though.

lp. And Then We Danced (2019) - 8.0 - A Georgian film that could never be made in Georgia (it's actually a Swedish film made by a Swede of Georgian descent, though filmed in Georgia with mostly Georgian actors) due to it's deeply conservative and homophobic culture. Which is sad, because this is such a beautiful and thoughtful film that any country would be proud to put out, and I'm pleased that it did indeed win a number of awards. The dancing is mesmerizing, the fumbled romance feels authentic, and the characters don't feel like caricatures (well, except that one nosy neighbour) even when they're playing archetypes. And if you're interested in films that deal with toxic masculinity, this is one that's not only steeped in culture and tradition, but also in national identity and a sense of survival (i.e. the survival of the Georgian people surrounded by many larger hostile neighbours, where the ability of the men to fight and protect their homeland is a huge part of their cultural mentality - at least from my outside perspective).

--. The Hangover Part II (2011) - 6.2 - Haha. Going to Thailand and then making trans jokes. So funny. At least the trans character clapped back and was portrayed with dignity and no shame, and it was kind of a non-issue by the end, but it could have been handled better, instead of for a cheap laugh mid-film.


--. Les démons [The Demons] (2015) - 7.8 - Not a full-fledged queer film, but one that hovers around the edges with some queer and questioning characters/moments.

Possible spoilers, read with caution

The two most notable being a murderous pedophile targeting young boys (and no, I'm not insinuating that male pedophiles who target boys are automatically gay/queer - they're not - but rather in this instance there's a lot of ambiguity about the predator's sexuality, and especially in the way that their identity is slowly revealed to the viewer mirrors the way that many queer people slowly uncover their true selves, and I don't think that parallel can be ignored) and a possible off-screen same-sex interaction between two pre-teens that causes the main character a lot of anguish. The chat he has with his sister afterward is one of the sweetest and tenderest moments of cinema I've ever seen. I wish I'd had a sensitive and sensible older sister like that growing up in whom I could have confided.

lq. Genèse [Genesis] (2018) - 7.4 - A semi-sequel to The Demons, from director Philippe Lesage (one of the characters has the same name and is played by the same actor as in The Demons, but the rest of the recurring actors are playing different characters), this one is explicitly gay with one of the central stories about a teen coming to terms with the realization that he's in love with his best friend. There were some touching and beautiful moments of truth here, but overall the film fell a bit flat for me, especially compared to the previous film, and primarily with the script. Still, I love the world-building that Lesage is doing, and the way it seems to capture youth in the modern age. I will definitely seek out more films by him.

lr. She's the Man (2006) - 6.0 - Trying to capitalize on the Shakespeare-rewritten-as-a-modern-teen-comedy trend that 10 Thing I Hate About You started/popularized, this Twelfth Night update is nowhere near as good. Amanda Bynes gives a good effort, but she plays too much into false stereotypes that get boring really quickly. At least this is the film that gave us Channing Tatum; apparently Bynes had to fight to get him cast in the role, so I thank her for that. Also, as a sports movie, considering neither Bynes nor Tatum could play, I think the camerawork was really well done to cover for that, including shots from the ballhandler's perspective running down the field. As for the queer aspect, it's mostly tame gender-bending stuff since Bynes is dressed up as her brother for half the film, which leads to the usual homo-confusion "why am I attracted to this guy? Am I gay? No, the dude's really a girl after all. My heterosexuality is safe." Fun/ridiculous supporting role from Ginger Snaps's Emily Perkins. I should rewatch that film.

--. The Queen's Gambit (2020) - 8.2 - Decent mini-series overall, and I especially liked the visualization of the chessboards on the ceilings. The queer element here is a minor character who shows up for 2 or 3 of the 7 episodes. He's handled fairly well, though I question Beth's ability to clue in to his queerness so quickly given she's so socially inept at everything else. Still, it wasn't a detriment, and he gets a decent story arc with a somewhat satisfactory closing.

--. Only Angels Have Wings (1939) - 8.6 - This film caught me off guard with how much I loved it, despite the fact that I adore Cary Grant. The friendships between the various pilots do border on the more-than-platonic in moments, and one could say that there is some coded queerness if you look deep enough, but I'm taking things at face value for now.

ls. Billy Budd (1962) - 8.0 - The book is apparently more explicitly queer, but the movie still has some queerness to it if you know what you're looking for. Poor, beautiful Billy Budd. There's a lot of interesting reading/analysis out there about this, which does a much better job of laying it out than I could do.

lt. Single All the Way (2021) - 7.6 - Light holiday fun. Nothing groundbreaking, with some really silly plot devices found in any network Christmas movie, but Kathy Najimy & Jennifer Coolidge combo is divine. Michael Urie is the cute neurotic social media manager who wants to open his own plant store (because of course he does) and move back to his small New Hampshire hometown, away from the big city of LA where he's been for almost a decade (because of course he does). Luke Macfarlane and Philemon Chambers play the two gorgeous hunks vying for his affection, and both come across as more likeable and real than Urie, surprisingly. Throw in some family meddling and a hilarious rendition of the Nativity Play, and enjoy the silliness.

lu. Titane (2021) - 6.0 - I wrote more about this in the Secret Santa thread, but I didn't enjoy this, and I felt the queer aspects to be both pandering and exploitative. Is female objectification inherently less problematic when there's a woman behind the camera? I don't know. But aside from the provocativeness of the film, there wasn't really anything special in it for me. The world doesn't need another bisexual psychokiller stereotype. Thing are bad enough for queer people as it is.

lv. Totally Fucked Up (1993) - 7.4 - Surprised this isn't on the cross-reference list, actually. Nice teen ensemble drama about a group of queer friends in what I think is LA. The low budget feel to the film works with the narrative instead of against it. This is probably the film from this batch that I would most recommend to people. Interestingly, only James Duval went on to act in more films; Roko Belic became an Academy Award-nominated director, but the rest of the main cast only have TFU as their sole film credit.

lw. The Doom Generation (1995) - 7.4 - Completed Araki's Teen Apocalypse trilogy with this black comedy. It opens up with text on screen stating it is a heterosexual romance, but there's so much sexual tension between Xavier and Jordan you couldn't break it with a sledgehammer. The film sadly stays true to it's heterosexual calling card, but that didn't stop me from hoping. James Duval is so sweetly dumb in this film, and Johnathan Schaech is completely different from his uptight That Thing You Do! character. I was surprised that I rated these two films higher than Nowhere; perhaps I need to revisit that one too.

[Fergenaprido]

lx. Brüder der Nacht [Brothers of the Night] (2016) - 6.4 - Austrian documentary (docudrama?) about Romani-Bulgarian rent boys in Vienna, all/most of whom are straight young men selling their bodies to older gay men to make money to send back home and support their children and wives, or to live the big life in the big city away from family and cultural pressures. Interesting subject matter, but the end result was not that interesting.

ly. The Pillow Book (1996) - 7.4 - This was on my watchlist for a long time due to my undying devotion to Ewan McGregor (sigh), and not (just) because he's naked for half the film. Ewan's a gay/bisexual/ambiguous exhibitionist in a love triangle of sorts with a younger woman and an older man. My first Greenaway film, and overall I liked it, but it still didn't quite live up to my expectations, due to the more avant-garde-ish/experimental elements of the film. A very interesting premise, though.

lz. Bulbul Can Sing (2018) - 7.6 - A trio of teenagers in Assam in eastern India coming of age. One is a gay boy who gets bullied for being effeminate, but his storyline is dealt with the least of the three leads, imo, and it was given the least development. Still, it was a good "serious teen drama" film, from a corner of India we don't often get to see on screen (let alone with subtitles).

ma. Eternals (2021) - 7.8 - 1 of the 10 Eternals is gay, and he's just as realized and developed as the other main characters. The rest of the film was good too, and I liked the more cerebral take on a Marvel film instead of the usual crash boom bang.

--. Pretville (2012) - 3.8 - Afrikaans musical set in the 50s, trying to be like Grease. The over-the-top flamboyant hairdresser is also the mayor? You don't say. Throwing out the Afrikaans version of the "faggot" just because it rhymes with "coffee" and would fit in the song? Are you fucking kidding me? Aside from this egregious offence, the film is just bad over all, fully detached from any reality (blacks and whites living and working harmoniously in Apartheid-era South Africa?) and firmly places itself in some inferior alternate reality full of cliches, lazy stereotypes, and cheesy songs. An unwed single nine-month pregnant woman dancing around? Sure. She can parade around town sprightly as can be the day after giving birth? Why not. Dress the hot guy in glasses and give him a stutter to indicate that he's an outsider (but still let him flash his abs and chest on occasion)? Naturally. I almost feel like I should go back and rate it even lower now.

--. Liefling (2010) - 5.8 - Another Afrikaans musical, this one thankfully set in the present day, from the same team as the above disaster. This time it's the GBF, and he's in a wheelchair to boot! Good grief (or did I mix up two characters... it's only been a few weeks and I've already forgotten most of this). Overall, though, it wasn't as terrible as the other film, and the music was better too.

mb. Be with Me (2005) - 6.6 - Triptych by Eric Khoo with one story being a tragic teenage lesbian romance. My third Khoo, and my third letdown, and this is considered his best film by most. His obsession with filming food/making films about food and cooking continues in this one. The real-life story about the elderly blind and deaf lady was inspiring, but overall it's a big letdown, especially the third story about the creepy stalker who they try to make us empathize with for some strange reason. Spoiler, he dies at the end and I was glad.

mc. Smukke dreng [Pretty Boy] (1993) - 7.6 - Coming of age film about a teenage runaway of sorts whose home life with his neglectful single mother and younger siblings cause him to head to the big city for ... actually it's not clear why he goes. He's 13 in the film, and yet already streetwise about some things yet naive about others. It's a weird mix. The film works rather well, overall, though. One strange thing was the lead girl in the film looks her age (she was in her mid-20s I think, while the male lead was 15), so I was confused about their relationship until I realized her character was supposed to be a teen as well, if a few years older than him. Plus, it was clear to me from the start she was a girl dressed as a boy, but apparently most of the characters were supposed to assume she was a guy, and it intended to be a shock to the audience when she's revealed to be female. Made no sense. Also, for a young teen whose ostensibly straight, he takes to prostituting himself to men rather quickly and deftly. Still, I did like it.

md. Bor Mi Vanh Chark [The Long Walk] (2019) - 7.8 - One of the female supporting characters is a lesbian, which surprised me since it's not that acceptable in Southeast Asian cultures outside of urban Thailand and Philippines (the film is Laotian), but it was treated as a non-issue by everyone in the film, though the fact it's set in the future may be a sign of aspirational hope of where things will be rather than a reflection of where things are. That aside, this was a good, slow scifi time-travel ghost mystery drama, with some cool low-key visual effects.

--. Maynila sa mga kuko ng liwanag [Manila in the Claws of Light] (1975) - 7.6 - I don't know why this was tagged as a queer film by some folks - aside from a scene or two where the lead character tries his hand at whoring himself out because he's broke, there's nothing queer about it (though the lead does have that fairly typical "pretty boy" look you see in other Pinoy films about gay men). A devastatingly good drama about poverty in the big city.

me. Les affluents [Coalesce] (2020) - 7.2 - Just enough queer content to qualify for this list for me, all three male leads are straight, with the youngest refusing the advances from a creepy drunk gentleman who inappropriately hits on and tries to seduce him (though I'm not sure if his lack of forceful rebuke to the advances was a sign of cultural deference to elders, his timidity and unsureness of what was going on, or his potential interest in boys his own age), the oldest being married with kids, and the middle one having a girlfriend and yet nonchalantly asking his friend to hook him up with a job at a gay bar so he can save money to buy a motorcycle. The way he learns the ropes of flirting with men, dancing sexily to choreographed moves, and even sleeping with men is all rather swift and he does so without any visible qualms or protestations of heterosexuality. He's a willing, if passive, participant doing what he feels he need to do to get ahead in life. Strangely pragmatic, and it was this aspect of the film that caught my attention the most. Aside from that, it's an okay film with some nice cinematography. Oh, and be forewarned a chicken is caught and killed and cooked for dinner onscreen - it sure looked real enough to me.

76. Edge of Seventeen (1998) - 7.8 (REWATCH, upgraded from 6.4) - This was expiring on Netflix so I thought I'd give this one another go. I first saw it in 2010 and I wasn't that taken by it, but this time I liked it a lot more. I don't know what changed for me, but I really identified with the main character this time round, and I'm really glad I gave this another chance. I finished the film with warm fuzzies. Aside from Lea DeLaria and Tina Holmes, none of the other actors seem to have made much of a splash afterward, which is a shame.

[Fergenaprido]

mf. Como una novia sin sexo [Bromance] (2016) - 7.8 - Another great modern queer drama from Argentina. Three college-aged best friends go away to the beach for a vacation together, where a girl and repressed desires bubble up to throw everything into chaos. Some good tension between the characters and the storyline, and an interesting view of Latin masculinity and what it means to be a man.

77. Gay Sex in the 1970s (2005) - 6.8 - I saw this because it was expiring on Kanopy and relatively short; I didn't realize it was on the cross-reference list until after. It's an okay doc about a little-documented time in queer history, between Stonewall and the AIDS crisis. It must have been a glorious time to be a gay man indeed (ignoring everything else wrong with the seventies, of course), but I don't find this type of romanticism of past eras all that enticing or useful. Sure, you could have lots of great anonymous sex all around NYC if you wanted, but that hardly seems worth all the benefits and rights we've fought for and gained over the years since then (despite the current epidemic of trans murders and the constant right-wing attacks on our very existence). Interesting snapshot, but probably not that interesting to most straight folks. And despite the title, there's not a whole lot of dick/nudity/sex in the film aside from grainy photos and videos, if that's what you were hoping/dreading.

--. The Devil's Playground (1976) - 7.6 - I've seen this one labelled as a queer film in a few places, but aside from it taking place at a boys' boarding school for future Catholic clergy, full of sexually repressed Brothers and hormone crazed teenagers being told to control theirselves, and thus the inevitable fooling around due to the lack of women and girls around, there's not much queer here. It's still a good film, though, and I'm interested to see the TV mini-series from last decade with the same title (thought I'm not sure if it's a remake or a sequel).

--. Boys in the Trees (2016) - 8.2 - Featuring my new favourite actor, Toby Wallace (of Babyteeth fame), and from the director an excellent little short called The Last Time I Saw Richard, this was billed as a spiritual sequel of sorts, and both feature Wallace in the lead. There's speculation that one character is gay, and he is bullied for it, and there's an allusion to a possible sexual assault years earlier that's related to the plot, but it's mostly a coming of age tale about taking control of your own destiny, the evolution of friendships, and staying true to yourself. There's a spooky fantasty vibe to it as it takes place on Hallowe'en, but I wouldn't call it a horror or a thriller (both of which are tagged genres on imdb), and more of a drama. It seems it's been a divisive film, with a lot of people dismissing the writing and the acting, but I really liked it.

[Fergenaprido]

mg. Macho (2016) - 6.6 - Mexican comedy that looked promising on paper: a straight male fashion designer was assumed to be gay from a young age, and he just went with it because it helped his career. He's. rampant womanizer, though, and to avoid his secret being exposed he's forced to pretend to date his new gay assistant. Hilarity ensues, except it doesn't really. What could have been a really great (and funny) exploration into what it means to be a man, what it means to be straight, and all the nuances in between just ended up being a bland comedy featuring boring stereotypes and gay panic (it really pissed me off when this guy starts to freak out that he actually has to kiss another man... as if his whole adult existence in a gay-dominated industry where he's come across as gay he didn't learn a little tolerance/understanding. ). The ending feels tacked on to appease the straights (who, let's be fair, this movie was for in the first place) and just doesn't make much sense.

--. Die Puppe [The Doll] (1919) - 7.4 - The nephew was camp before camp was a thing. He's like a grown-up yet still childish member of the He Man's Woman-Hater Club (TM). He could easily be read as gay, and with his escape to the religious brothers in their abbey this one is ripe for a porn parody. Still a decent, if incongruent, film.

78. In the Family (2011) - 8.2 - I'd put this one off for so long because of the length, but since it was a holdover for the DTC I prioritized it this month, and I was not disappointed at all. One of the best films I've seen so far this year, and one that feels like it could become a favourite upon rewatch. I wrote more in the challenge thread, but this was an emotional rollercoaster for me that elicited a number of different responses, and I really wish more people saw this film.

mh. The Female Closet (1998) - 5.8 - Clunky documentary about three queer female artists. The first two were interesting, but I didn't understand what was so compelling about the third one to include her. The interviews are all over the place and it just feels so scattered and haphazard. I'm glad to know more about these women, but felt they deserved a much better film.

mi. Quai des Orfèvres (1947) - 8.2 - A great film which caught me by surprise, though it probably shouldn't have. The main supporting character is coded as a lesbian from early on, and then it was quite a surprise to see it actually acknowledged on screen by another character, and in a positive way as well - she's not turned into a villain like so may of her contemporaries. How this film isn't discussed more in the history of queers on screen is baffling to me. The film is also great in that instead of a crime mystery where you try to figure out what happened and who did it the whole time, in this case you know what happened and who did it (for the most part) from the start, and the mystery is seeing how it will all unfold and what the consequences for each character will be. A fascinating way to turn the whodunnit on its head!

mj. Loev (2015) - 7.6 - A tough drama that doesn't take you where you want it to go, but instead forces you to sit uncomfortable as the events unfold after having lulled you into a false sense of security. A rare gay film from India, 95% of the dialogue is in English so you might not need subtitles. Not for everyone, but I do encourage people to seek it out.

[Fergenaprido]

Back after a four-month hiatus because of computer issues, so this will be a longer update. Also, forgive me if my memory doesn't retain a whole lot of information for the first two dozen films.

79. Die bitteren Tränen der Petra von Kant [The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant] (1972) - 7.4 - Didn't really care for this one. Interesting study, filmmaking, and setup, but the endless monologues started to drag by the end and I didn't care what became of any of the characters.

mk. Coming Out (1989) - 8.2 - A great film from East Germany that I'm surprised hasn't been more widely seen. A young man struggling to maintain his straight relationship while also figuring out his sexuality, the self-hatred and internalized homophobia are very well played out on screen. Still relevant in a world where casual sex and hookups trump lasting relationships, this journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance merits a wider audience.

ml. Glue (2006) - 7.6 - This Argentinian film featuring a young baby-faced Nahuel Pérez Biscayart before he rose to fame in France and a pre-XXY Inés Efron about a trio of hormonal teenagers was pretty good. Sexuality is fluid in this film, and while it definitely falls under the umbrella of queer, those looking for a "gay film" might be disappointed. Coming of age, self-exploration (alone and with your peers), and wanting to get out of a small town are all common themes explored here.

mm. Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020) - 7.0 - Sure, Harley is nominally bisexual, but the lesbian cop is the main reason this qualifies for me. Decent grrlpower film with some neat visuals and cool fight choreo, but nothing extraordinary. Ewan McGregor will never not be hot for me, even when he plays a ridiculous queer-coded baddie in a sadomasochistic relationship with his... whatever Chris Messina's character is supposed to be. That part wasn't so cool, but I forgive them for it and would have shipped that relationship if the filmmakers actually went all-in on it.

mn. Senior Year (2022) - 6.4 - Forgettable entry into the teen comedy genre, though Rebel Wilson gives it a good go and it tries to be both fresh and modern while nostalgic for the early (n)oughties. A lesbian BFF for the adults and a gay BFF for the teens, and Love, Victor's Michael Cimino being this parody of a woke straight guy... this was kind of a hot mess. Chris Parnell as the dad was great, though.

mo. Flugt [Flee] (2021) - 8.4 - A harrowing, heart-wrenching yet heart-warming tale of an Afghan refugee's journey to Denmark as a minor, and the secrets he's had to live with over the years. Beautifully animated in a tone reminiscent of Waltz with Bashir, I thought this was an excellent, excellent film. Though he left Afghanistan 20 years ago or so, recent events in Afghanistan that happened after the film was released brought another sense of urgency to the story. I've travelled to and lived in countries where homosexuality is outlawed, though I'm privileged to have citizenship from a country where I have almost all of the same rights as straight folks do, and I can't imagine what it would be like if I was forced to live in the closet again and guard such a huge secret while fearing for my life. Why are y'all so afraid of us?

--. The Matrix Resurrections (2021) - 7.6 - Okay sequel, though nothing really queer about it aside from the talent involved. Thought they would have given us something considering the original is supposedly a trans allegory.

mp. Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) - 8.0 - Lived up to the hype for me, and the multiple strands of queerness woven throughout work beautifully without feeling forced. Can't say much more than that without minor spoilers, but this is a great and heartfelt action film, and it better be collecting awards at the end of the year, especially for special/visual effects and editing. So intricately put together, yet one crazy ride. Michelle Yeoh is a goddess, and I still can't believe that was Short Round/Data.

mq. En helt almindelig familie [A Perfectly Normal Family] (2020) - 8.0 - Family drama about a father and daughter when the father decides to transition to a woman, and the complications that ensue in the family. Focusing equally on the younger daughter and the transwoman, their relationship is the centre of the film. I thought it was beautifully done and well-handled, notwithstanding the lead being played by a cisgendered man. Set in 2000, a lot has changed in 20 years, but a lot remains the same. While the transition is the catalyst for everything in this film, it tries not to overpower everything else going on and the family dynamics at play, much like Agnete tries not to let her transition change her relationships with her daughters and her (now ex-)wife.

--. Life as We Know It (2010) - 7.4 - Greg Berlanti's had a number of hit tv shows and two great queer films in Broken Hearts Club and Love, Simon. This has a few throwaway moments with a married gay couple as neighbours to the protagonists, and not much else queer-wise. I suppose he can't make everything for us, and is allowed to make something for the straights. Pretty standard romcom overall.

--. La chute de l'empire américain [The Fall of the American Empire] (2018) - 7.6 - I feel like there was something other than the lesbian cop being portrayed as a greedy bisexual offering herself to her partner after his divorce (that whole dynamic was just weird and confusing and could have been removed entirely from the film without detriment to the plot), but I can't remember any other queer aspects of the film. Aside from that, it's a pretty decent crime comedy thriller from Arcand.

80. Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) - 7.2 - It's gay without being gay. Francis's obsession with Pee-wee and his bike is pretty darn queer, and I couldn't decide if he was coded or not, and the whole aesthetic is queer too. But I wouldn't personally include it on any queer list.

mr. Uncut (1997) - 7.4 - Not as great as Greyson's previous masterpiece, this was still pretty good. Three gay men with the same name in a surreal love triangle with foreskin a central component to their connection. Definitely a film more for the queers than the straights, and I'm okay with that. More in the Canadian challenge thread.

ms. Strangers in Good Company (1990) - 7.6 - One of the ladies is a lesbian, and it's discussed pretty openly with some of the others asking her questions (one curious old lady in particular). This mellow, meandering docudrama about a bunch of elderly women staying in the country for a few days after their bus broke down (I still don't know where they were going or why, but I want to visit that lake), this was quietly satisfying. More in the Canadian challenge thread.

mt. Pouvoir intime [Blind Trust] (1986) - 7.8 - So glad I waited for the original French-language version to surface with subtitles, instead of watching the horrid English dub. Sympathetic good-guy gays in the 1980s? Yes please! Good crime thriller with some unexpected twists and turns that has unfortunately fallen into obscurity. More in the Canadian challenge thread.

--. The Kid Detective (2020) - 8.0 - Adam Brody shines here (as does Sophie Nélisse from Monsieur Lazhar) as the title character as an adult. Even though he was 40 when this was filmed, he's believable as a 32-year-old (he must have the same youthful genes as me ). Only queerness I remember is related to one of the cases, and it's not depicted on screen, but I may be forgetting something. More in the Canadian challenge thread.

mu. Petite fille [Little Girl] (2020) - 7.8 - Documentary about a young trans girl and the hurdles she has to overcome to be herself at school (simplified plot, but that's the gist of it). "Narrated" mostly by her mother, it's refreshing to hear someone speak about transfolk in such a way, expressing her doubts and fears while never wavering in her love and support for her child.

mv. Suk suk [Twilight's Kiss] (2019) - 7.8 - Two closeted men in their 60s/70s hookup and then tentatively start a relationship. Tender yet frank about the realities facing aging queer folks, including a subplot about trying to get a queer-only retirement home so that these gentlemen have a place to live in their final years where they feel safe, supported, and cared for instead of being forgotten or shunned by society like they have been for most of their lives. An unconventional romance that makes the viewer question what the "happy ending" should be for the characters in the film.

--. Shivers (1975) - 5.8 - Early body horror from Cronenberg, some girl-on-girl action does not a queer film make. Lots of plot holes, but you're not really watching this one for the plot anyway.

mw. Sublet (2020) - 7.2 - I was hoping for more from this Eytan Fox film about an older American gay man connecting with his younger gay Airbnb-type host in Tel Aviv. The intergenerational dynamics at play are probably the most interesting part of the film, though there's some eye candy too.

--. O Bandido da Luz Vermelha [The Red Light Bandit] (1968) - 5.8 - One scene with a stereotypical effeminate gay guy in a taxi - I have no idea why that scene was in the movie, or how it was related to the main plot. Not my style of film, either.

mx. The Bay Boy (1984) - 7.6 - Genie-winner about a teen coming of age in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, featuring Keifer Sutherland in (possibly) his first role. A subplot involving sexual abuse in the Catholic Church tries to take a sympathetic look at things a good decade before The Boys of St. Vincent. Overall, pretty solid film. More in the Canadian challenge thread.

my. The Pyx (1973) - 7.4 - GBF is KIA, sort of. Still, he was a positive depiction while he was around in this strange film. Karen Black and Christopher Plummer are good in this, and the film is worth seeing for them alone. More in the Canadian challenge thread.

mz. Yo, adolescente [Memories of a Teenager] (2019) - 8.2 - Beautiful film about the uncertainties of adolescence. The lead may or may not be gay - even he's not sure - but there's plenty of queer content and exploration taking place in this film and I'm here for it. It's messy and contradictory at times, but so is being a teenager, and I thought this was a rare film that accurately captures this. I think it's still on Netflix.

na. Monsoon (2019) - 7.6 - A slow and calming film about a gay Brit returning to his birthplace of Vietnam to find a place to scatter his parents' ashes, and connecting with an American expat along the way. Henry Golding is hot, but he doesn't fully carry the film for me. Still, it had it's merits that I quite can't explain; it's a good film even if it didn't live up to my expectations.

--. Starbuck (2011) - 8.0 - Funny Québécois comedy about a sperm donor slightly dampened by the depiction of a "promiscuous gay"/"greedy bisexual" stereotype in one of his kids. It's a great film otherwise, but it's tiresome to see us constantly be a punchline or a punching bag in films. *le sigh* . More in the Canadian challenge thread.

nb. Vendrá la muerte y tendrá tus ojos [Death Will Come and Shall Have Your Eyes] (2019) - 4.0 - Forgettable drama about a middle-aged lesbian couple where one is terminally ill.

nc. Nicht der Homosexuelle ist pervers, sondern die Situation, in der er lebt [It Is Not the Homosexual Who Is Perverse, But the Society in Which He Lives] (1971) - 7.4 - Provocative and unapologetic documentary-like essay film about gay men in Berlin. Still relevant today, and Rosa von Praunheim is an underground god and should be a household name. The film may not be that good as a film, but as a piece of art it's daring and worthwhile.

nd. Ta fang jian li de yun [The Cloud in Her Room] (2020) - 5.6 - I didn't even realize the lead was supposed to be bisexual until reading about it after - I thought it was a random dream sequence with her mother.

ne. Moffie (2019) - 8.2 - A look at the way gays and suspected gays (i.e. any "non-conforming person") were treated in the South African military under Apartheid, through the eyes of one unwilling teen conscript. Brutal at times, but excellent nonetheless. Another film that begs the question of how we were such a threat to their way of life? Similar to Canary, but much darker in tone.

nf. Looking for Langston (1989) - 6.4 - I'm still looking for him. I barely remember anything about this film, and didn't learn much about Langston himself, sadly.

ng. Bizarre [Brooklyn Bizarre] (2015) - 4.6 - Appropriately titled, this film is a hot mess. Pierre Prieur is much better in the short film Passer les champs [Through the Fields] from the same year. I watched the feature only because he was in it, after seeing the short a few days before. Go see that short instead.

nh. Ten Little Indians (1989) - 6.2 - One of the characters is revealed to be gay, and that's the twist on their crime compared to the original. Overall, though, this film is soooooo campy. It's not very good, but it's very entertaining.

--. Ur kärlekens språk [Language of Love] (1969) - 7.2 - Swedish erotic documentary that mentions queer folks in passing.

ni. Mera ur kärlekens språk [More About the Language of Love] (1970) - Sequel to the previous film that starts off with a much deeper look at gay and trans themes, much of which is now very outdated, though the overall attitude is very refreshing for its time.

nj. Les grandes chaleurs [Heat Wave] (2009) - 52-year-old woman falls in love with a 19-year-old man, played by bisexual god François Arnaud (the same year he played Xavier Dolan's boyfriend in I Killed My Mother). Her son is gay, and he gets some of his own moments/character development, though not much. Switching between deadpan comedy and melodrama, this was kind of fun yet weird.

[Fergenaprido]

September turned out to be a pretty gay month for me film-wise.

nk. Zinder (2021) - 7.4 - One of the main subjects in the film is a transgender man. They don't talk much about his identity as it relates to the main focus of the film (lack of education/employment/opportunities and the subsequent turning to crime among youth in the city), but it does come up a few times, and it's largely a non-issue for most folks.

nl. Errante corazón [Wandering Heart] (2021) - 7.8 - Aging gay man refuses to believe he's getting older, having recently been dumped by his long-term boyfriend and trying to maintain a functional relationship with his adolescent daughter. It's kind of messy, but It's a controlled intentional mess on the part of the filmmaker, which I find relatable and accurate. He's self-destructive and in denial, but all of his actions, desperate and otherwise, feel rooted in a solid foundation of his character, however flawed it may be.

nm. The Power of the Dog (2021) - 8.2 - Finally got around to this. Not quite what I thought it would be, but wonderful nonetheless. Depressing and moody for large parts, it's also rather gorgeous to look at. More of a character study than your typical western or queer film, and there are inklings of a romance but it's definitely not a focus of the film at all, so don't go into it expecting that angle to be looked into.

nn. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022) - 7.2 - This was all right, though I'm glad they finally decided to acknowledge and display Dumbledore being gay on screen more than a decade after he was outed by Rowling. People complain that the title is inaccurate in that his being gay and former in a relationship with Grindelwald wasn't exactly a secret, but I have to remind them that Albus isn't the only Dumbledore character in the film/books. Worth it only for big fans of the franchise and for the showcasing of multi-dimensional queer relationships (sort of). The new characters were also quite good as well; hoping to see more from them in the future. Highlight: funny crab walk about "muscle mimicry" or some silly nonsense.

--. L'illusioniste [The Illusionist] (2010) - 6.0 - A lacklustre film to begin with, but I didn't care for the lazy stereotypical characterization of the boy band as silly twink twats. Completely unnecessary and uncalled for.

--. Koe no katachi [A Silent Voice] (2016) - 8.2 - Great film, with some ambiguous feelings with one minor character toward the lead - it seems to imply that he's got a crush on him, but it never really gets developed enough to be clear.

no. Women Talking (2022) - 8.4 - Another banger from Sarah Polley, this drama largely takes place in a single location with a bunch of women talking to each other, but don't let that deter you. There's a lot of humour infused into an otherwise serious subject matter, and the acting is superb across the board. There's one supporting character who is a trans man who is still pivotal to the plot, but I won't say more than that without spoilering things. This is coming to theatres in December (I saw it at TIFF with a Q&A from the director after), and I recommend everyone to go see it.

np. Joyland (2022) - 8.2 - This was a close second for my favourite film at TIFF. Younger son falls in love with a trans woman in this drama, but the film also focuses on other family members, especially his wife. A great, if devastating, film from Pakistan that will hopefully get a wide release in theatres on on streaming at some point since it also played at Cannes and one the Queer Palm.

nq. Kapana (2020) - 5.6 - Gay love story from Namibia, but it's bland and rushed and underdeveloped. With a longer runtime and more funding the director could have fleshed out the story and the characters more. Noteworthy for its progressive attitude in a conservative society, but that's about it.

nr. Straight Up (2019) - 8.4 - On paper I was hesitant about this, as it could go horribly wrong: gay man decides to date a woman after rejecting the "gay lifestyle" and refusing to accept that he's gay since he never tried being straight. But the writing is super sharp and witty and fantastic, and this really won me over within 10 minutes. The last third is a bit of a letdown, but overall it's a super strong film with a lot of hilarious moments and some insightful commentary.

ns. Kaboom (2010) - 6.4 - Kudos to Araki for building his vision and staying to committed to he weirdness, but this film fell flat for me. It was too incoherent and convoluted for my liking, but I'll still continue to watch whatever he puts out.

--. The Woman King (2022) - 7.8 - The king has some eunuchs as revered advisors, only one of which gets any dialogue or screentime, and he's played as a fairly effeminate sassy GBF of sorts. Not really offensive, but could be offputting to some folks.

nt. The Man with the Answers (2021) - 7.6 - Cypriot road trip about a Greek guy and a German guy driving through Italy. Enemies to lovers follows, as expected, but the trip itself is pretty and the character development is pretty neat, if clunky and inevitable.

--. Rush Hour 3 (2007) - 6.2 - Unfunny threequel with some good action but bad jokes, including gay panic and other anti-gay/anti-trans ones. Skip it.

--. Fando y Lis [Fando and Lis] (1968) - 4.6 - I only saw this the other day and I already forget why I tagged this one, that's how boring and forgettable this film was. One baiting scene where a group of lithe women blindfold Fando and have him chase them around the wasteland, before letting him catch one of them who has disrobed and he starts to feel her up. Then a guy comes up behind her and kisses him; they remove the blindfold and the big joke is that he was tricked into kissing a guy when he thought he was kissing a girl. Hilarious.

nu. Posledice [Consequences] (2018) - 7.8 - Blocho drew some parallels between this and Moffie, so I decided to prioritize it since I saw the other last month. There are some similarities, but I think they're different enough to be their own films. I agree with him, though, that Moffie is the better film. This can be violent at times, but thankfully it's shown sparingly on screen, and overall it's rather downbeat compared to the South African films somewhat hopeful tone. There's no excusing the lead's behaviour here, but the phone call with his mother at the end is just so devastatingly real that you can't help but feel for him and how he's been trapped in his existence. He may have not made the best choices, but you get to understand why he felt he had no other choice. It's not, however, the first gay Slovenian film, contrary to some online reviews. A Trip (2011) takes that title, if not something earlier.

nv. Bros (2022) - 9.0 - We were going to see this at TIFF, but since it was coming to theatres at the end of the month we decided to save our money and see it in regular cinema. I was expecting to enjoy it, and wanted to support it regardless, but did not expect to love it this much. The writing was hilarious, and I was laughing loudly (in a sadly empty theatre, but we did go to an early afternoon screening) for almost the first half hour. It was just so on point and brilliantly funny to me. Indie films have tried to capture the gay experience with authenticity, and there have been some that succeeded, but I've never seen a mainstream Hollywood film that put me on screen instead of trying to pander to me. It didn't hold back (well, it did a little when it came to nudity compared to Indie or European films, but I was fine with that), didn't apologize, and didn't care how the straight audience would react. I want more of this. Best film of the year and decade so far for me, and my only 5* film on LB from the 2020s. This won't be for everyone, but I don't care. It's mine.

nw. K'omet'ebi [Comets] (2019) - 7.4 - Short, quiet drama about two women meeting again thirty years after they had a close friendship/romance as teenagers. Not much happens, and things are revealed slowly, but it's poignant and worth it. Would have rated higher if it had a different ending than the scifi film film-within-a-film, but it was still nice.

--. Kaasua, komisario Palmu! [Gas, Inspector Palmu!] (1961) - 7.6 - This sequel had a suspect that could be considered a coded gay villain. He was flamboyant and lived with his best friend, but supposedly chased after women, as he was an artist. Overall still a decent film, though a step down from the first one.

--. 1991 (2018) - 7.8 - The third (and final?) film in Trogi's autobiographical trilogy, there's a scene where after a night out drinking a guy kisses the main character, catching him off-guard. Our protagonist doesn't freak out, however, which was refreshing to see (regardless of if that's how he actually reacted back in the early nineties or just how he would react today), and it's never really established what the friend's sexual preference is, leaving it ambiguous, but that fit in with the rest of the film. Trogi's one of my best directorial discoveries this year, and I really enjoyed his trilogy.

nx. Desert Fury (1947) - 7.8 - Definitely a coded noir. I've seen articles that consider both the main male and main female pairings as coded, but the female one (between a mother and daughter no less), is kind of iffy to me. The male one, between to criminal (and life?) partners, is barely coded and certainly believable, even if the same-sex affection appears to be a bit one-sided. Surprising that it was so blatant for a Hollywood studio film in the 1940s. That aside, this was a good colour noir.

--. Ne Zha zhi mo tong jiang shi [Ne Zha] (2019) - 7.6 - Chinese animated blockbuster based on a famous book/legend from the middle ages(?), the fat god (who rides a pig as a result) is super flamboyant (but still straight, of course), mostly for comic effect. Le sigh. It's actually a decent film overall, but this lazy characterization of relying on gay stereotypes and sensibilities to drive comedy for straight audiences is passé.

--. Chicken Little (2005) - 6.6 - A similar thing here, with the fat pig character being a flamboyant sissy straight boy. In a Disney kids movie. Great. That aside, the film's not very good and its morals are questionable regarding how some of the characters end up in the end (primarily the fox girl, where her personality is accidentally altered and instead of undoing the mistake and reverting her back to her normal cruel self they leave her as a girly girl so the sissy pig can have a girlfriend. Because having someone learn and grow into a better person is too hard, so just change them forcibly. Argh!). The fish and the goose were the best characters.

ny. The Big Combo (1955) - 8.2 - Another coded noir, but this one was even more blatant than Desert Fury. Excellent film with a great villain and pretty good lead as foils for each other. The queer romance here is between two henchmen who are called upon to do all the dirty work for the big boss. They live together, and seem to have a pretty strong bond and loyalty to each other. Despite a tragic ending (because of course they have to have one if they're gay in the '50s), they kind of have their redeeming moment that's bittersweet and almost makes you root for them despite being the bad guys. And Lee Van Cleef as the more protective of the two is absolutely great.

--. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) - 7.8 - I think I've finally stopped caring about the MCU completely. This was a fine movie, but I didn't bother catching up on the last 3 films that I've missed since my friend really wanted to see this. I'll watch them eventually, but I no longer care about seeing them in order. Still, it was nice to support this particular one in theatres, at least. Two of the Dora Milaje (Ayo & Aneka) were I think hinted at being in a relationship in the first BP, and it's confirmed at the end of this film (though I suppose the wilfully blind could choose to interpret their relationship as just close friends). For something that's apparently canon in the comics, it's kind of frustrating that they waited until the end of the film to acknowledge anything about it, despite both supporting characters getting some decent screentime throughout the film.

List I just created: The Criterion Channel’s Queersighted series: https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/the+ ... beasterne/

Queersighted is a series from The Criterion Channel that examines film through a queer lens. There have been five installments going back to 2019. I think the films chosen are always quite interesting and appropriate based on the given subject (like Queer Fear, Breaking Taboos, etc). Currently 52 films have been included in the series, and hopefully more will be included in the future.

I haven't checked this thread in well over a month so am just seeing this now -- thanks!

Got me thinking -- wish iCM had a list of lists function so I could accumulate all my LGBTQ+ lists on one index page. Granted, we have watchlist and favorites, but especially favorites is getting on the longish side which makes it more unwieldly.

I agree with the idea about lists of lists. What I’ve started to do is to re-order my watch list and favorites list grouped by category (all AFI lists together, all ICM Forum lists together, etc) but this is pretty tedious since it’s just drag and drop one at a time.

yeah, I do that as well, but I've also tried to track all the LGBTQ+ lists on my favourites and, well, it now goes on to multiple screens (I have to scroll down a couple times). I've recently broken down and added an "UnLists" tab to my spreadsheet to track unofficial lists. I haven't added URLs to it since I dislike how hyperlinks are handled in my ancient version of Excel, but I probably will have to revert to that. There just is always so much that I want to work on!

nz. Ne croyez surtout pas que je hurle [Just Don't Think I'll Scream] (2019) - 6.0 - self-reflective documentary narrated over footage from the films he watched over six months, a gay man talks about his life, primarily the circumstances that led him to be in a depressed state in a small village in rural France, looking forward to moving back to the city after a breakup. Despite really connecting with the director and his situation, and seeing many parallels with my own life right now, I found this rather dull.

oa. Deux [Two of Us] (2019) - 6.8 - This romantic drama about two older lesbians trying to stay together after one of them has a stroke and still hadn't come out to her family was great on paper, but the editing and sound design tried to make it a thriller, which it absolutely is not. What could have been something great was merely mediocre.

ob. Um Animal Amarelo [A Yellow Animal] (2020) - 5.8 - A fair amount of sexually ambiguous & fluid supporting characters in this film, but overall it's lack of a coherent narrative didn't work for me, even if I appreciated the visuals and what the director was trying to do.

--. Ta'm e guilass [Taste of Cherry] (197) - 7.4 - Not gay at all, but the way the young soldier was picked up and talked to at the start, and especially with his nervous behaviour, was 100% the same as hundreds of gay porn films where they try to convince a guy to do a job for money without telling him what the job was. The parallels were both unintentionally hilarious (I highly doubt the director would have ever thought of this) and incredibly disturbing.

81. Antonia [Antonia's Line] (1995) - 8.4 - Absolutely loved this film, which didn't seem like something I'd enjoy based on the descriptions out there. What resonated with me most were the emotional beats, and I've rarely been so glad to see a character die on screen. The queerness of the film, though, is much less than I thought it would be, with only the protagonist's daughter and her partner representing the community for a short while.

oc. Strange World (2022) - 7.6 - The world-building was amazing, but the story was indeed a bit thin and rushed. For all the outcry about this one, the fact that the teen lead is gay/bi was completely normalized and completely irrelevant to the plot. If he was getting nervous about a girl he was crushing on instead of a boy there would be absolutely nothing else that would need to change in the film. Which is both great and disappointing. I still don't understand why Disney didn't actively promote this in theatres in the months leading up to its release.

--. Why Did I Get Married? (2007) - 6.8 - I'd been meaning to see a Tyler Perry film for ages, so finally settled on this one since it was expiring on Netflix, and seemed like a lighter fare than his Daddy's Little Girls from the same year. As one of his first films, it was clunky (despite being adapted from one of his own plays) and hit and miss most of the time, in both the comedy and the emotional departments. A stereotypical flamboyant gay couple with a small dog they treat like a child at the beginning was cringey. Yes, there was no anti-gay behaviour from the other characters, but their inclusion and the manner of their portrayal was hardly progress, and even the purpose of those characters didn't really get the job done in terms of character development/establishment for one of the main couples.
