Bambola is a very pretty girl who had a gay brother called Flavio. Their mother (Anita Ekberg) dies and they open a Pizzeria with money lent by a banker friend Ugo. One day they decide to have a little fun and go to a swimming pool and nothing will be the same after that day trip. Bambola and Flavio see Settimo who is a super well built and handsome guy and both want him but he has eyes only for Bambola. There is a fight, a person is killed and Settimo ends up in jail where he is raped over and over by men and when he gets out he is offered a life with Flavio (rather stupid to think a straight can become gay while prison). Bambola life is taken by a rough man who hates everyone and comes to her when he is out of the prison. This all can only spell disaster waiting to happen. Note: I was a little taken back that a new film could suggest that you can make a homosexual out of a heterosexual by raping him over and over but if one ignores that fact the rest of the film is very interesting !

B.E. - dirty, sinful me
One of the most controversial movies made in Norway during 1999. Bjørn-Erik was a gay 19 year old who decided to kill himself rather than face the music. As a devoted Christian, he felt he couldn't live a "dirty and sinful" life. He didn't seek guidance, and he got none. In this documentary his family and friends, a gay Lutheran couple and some Christian fundamentalists vent their views on homosexuality. Through it all, we hear snippets from Bjørn Erik's diary, his self-confession. It's heartbreaking stuff,
and a real eye-opener. The newspapers and TV-stations made this a top
story, and thankfully, the public reacted by demanding
youth-counseling reforms. Many teenagers commit suicide just because
they're gay in Norway. This is a shame we shouldn't permit in a modern
society! Yngvar __________________________________________________________________________________________

This is the filming of Walt Witman´s life: He lived and wrote poetry in the Victorian times and it is surprising that he was as sexual liberated and open in those times. The film shows his relationship with a younger Doctor played by Colm Feore which causes a scandal. Very good film and a really good drama. Oh just in case you ever see it - there is a wonderful recording of Walt Witman poems which are very erotic and often tell of the pleasures of loving both men and women. Hard to believe he wrote these poems in the Victorian times. Phillip |

This is a very tender and loving story which takes place in a London housing estate during a very hot summer. It is about Jamie, who is very unpopular boy and Ste who is popular athletic boy. Ste is often beaten up by his father and his older brother. Due to just such a beating Sandra (Jamie's mother) offers that Ste, move in with Jamie. As they get to know one another there is a growing attraction to each other. It is a slow building attraction which finally hits the screen in fullness at the end of the film in a wonderfully filmed scene. The mother is a very strong character throughout the film. The music is classic Mama Cass songs. This film is a "must" see one. Phillip |

I have just finished watching this film in French with English subtitles. At first i thought it was going to be a long boring film about a hustler and the crime he committed but it turns out to be a very interesting film about a handsome street hustler and a student who fall in love. One of them is murdered by the other and the rest of the film involved long discussions between the police officer in charge and the hustler. Then in many Black and White flashbacks the story of their meeting and love affair falls into place with touching dialog then a confession is reached. Contains hot erotic sex scenes for its time and the the hustler is absolutely beautiful although not beautiful enough to want to be murdered by him *smile*.

This is the early filming of Ben Hur - which is the story of Ben-Hur and Messala who have a special friendship together. This filming should be noted and seen as Ramon Novarro was a gay actor and if you watch carefully there is a naked slave chained to a wall in one of the scenes. Phillip

This is the later filming
of the relationship between Ben-Hur and Messala who have loved each
other since childhood. It is said that Stephan Boyd was told the two
had been lovers but were separated and now that he was back in Rome he
wants to renew the love affair but Ben-Hur does not. If you watch that
scene is it played as two lovers seeing each other again after a long
separation. Also the makers of the film have said if they had left out
the girl the picture would have been a better picture - and I think
they are right! It is fun to watch this film knowing the secret as it
does have the feel of gay lovers - even with the dialog and scene
cutting that is said to have gone on during the filming. _______________________________________________________________________________________ |

I had read the Bent in book form but I kept putting off seeing the film as I knew it would be a hard experience for me but I finally took a friends advice and that evening I went alone to the cinema and watched the film. It starts out light and eerie with Mick Jager doing a song in drag. Then comes the repression from the Nazi´s against the gays and the gays had to take care of themselves i whichever way they could to try and keep alive. My heart pounded at the thought that someone like the Nazi´s could take my life away from me at their own will. The two lovers of the film are put through hell and torture (too graphic to go into here). They are forced to separate and pretend that they are not gay. Then the story switches from the long train ride (with torture) to the Nazi concentration where gays were treated as the lowest people there. Although the main character finds ways of surviving and even having sexual activities in his mind. This is only the story of a few but there were many gays treated like and it can never never happen again ! Note: This film is a MUST see for all gay and lesbian people ! We have it good in this day and age but when radical groups come into power they could take that all away again and WE MUST never let that happen again NEVER ! A good way is to be informed and this film helps. I sat glued to the seat and i felt all the good things and bad things happening on the screen and I must admit it scared the hell out of me... So if you have one film to see which will change your way of looking at life - SEE THIS FILM !!! It seem incredible that they are NOW talking in Germany of reversing all the convictions against gays and lesbians from the Nazi time. This should have been done many years ago... ! These poor people have lived their lives with a conviction against them on their records and it should be changed NOW !!! I can not imagine what things these poor men and women have gone through with first the Nazis and then the discrimination against them during the years that followed ! Phillip |

Berlinerpoplene
Norway 2007
Director: Anders T Andersen
With Jon Øigarden, Andrine Sæter, Bjørn Sundquist, Espen Skjønberg:
Brilliantly dark and painfully Norwegian TV miniseries that will probably play in most European countries, so here’s a review. It is based on two best-selling books by Norwegian author Anne B Ragde, who is popular in countries like Denmark and Germany.
The story revolves around a very, very dysfunctional family. There is a huge family skeleton in the closet, and because of this, everyone suffers. 3 brothers (well, actually four, but see for yourself..) are re-united when their mother dies. The youngest of them is gay Erlend (Øigarden, a respected thespian in Norway) who lives in Copenhagen with his lover.
They have a perfect existence, nice apartment, steady jobs, good friends. What can go wrong?
Well, quite a lot, and the mother dying is just the start...seems young Erlend was rejected by
his family and bears the scars for it..
Note: There are 6 episodes, with more to come. It was well received in Norway.Yngvar

Gore Vidal wrote the play for this (was a big success in 1960) and then the screen play. It is the story of American politics and the race to become President. The race becomes ugly when one candidate decides to play dirty and expose the others psychological problems from the past. Well one nasty deed deserves another so they dig into the past of the other candidate and find a "secret". That secret turns out to be that the other candidate is supposed to be gay. This turns out to be untrue and it also turns out that this candidate helped turn in the two men (officers) who were gay (hum - and he seemed proud of it too !). Anyway movies like this paved the way for the newer really gay movies! You have to start somewhere right? Phillip |

You have to see the movie to find out if Axel goes back to Doro or stays with Walter. Til Schweiger is great to look at and lust after. The film is based on the famous books "Der Bewegte Mann'' and "Pretty Baby'', written by cartoonist Ralf Koenig, who makes a guest appearance in the film as a drag queen. This is a must see film and it brought back International interest in German films. Phillip |

Bridget
Jones's Diary
Bridget
Jones: The Edge of Reason
UK/
USA/ France 2004: 108 mins.
If
you manage to drag yourself through 90 minutes of "funny"
heterosexual angst, obnoxious Hugh Grant, pouting Renee Zellweger and
upper class twit Colin Firth, there is a nice gay twist at the end of
it all. In fact, it's crucial to the story line.
The story itself
happens in a never-never land populated with cartoon characters of no
special human interest. Everything is so unbelievably corny you
really shouldn't be bothered to watch. Bridget also has a gay friend
who fits all the bad stereotypes like a glove.
Still, the ending
is sort of worth the pain... Yngvar

Biches, Les
(a.k.a.
THE DOES/BAD GIRLS/Girlfriends)
Director:
Claude Chabrol
France:
1968: 95 mins: Lesbian/Bisexual Interest
With
Stephane Audran, Jacqueline Sassard, Jean-Louis Trintignant:
Claude Chabrol was arguably at his directorial peak when he made “Les Biches” in 1968. Chabrol’s then-wife Stephane Audran delivers a stylish performance as Frederique, a beautifully cool seductress who picks up a young street artist enigmatically named ‘Why’ and takes her back to St Tropez to keep her warm for the winter. Acte 1 concludes with what must be one of the most subtly erotic seduction scenes in cinema, played by two actresses who knew what they were doing.
The two women’s relationship progresses to a point of almost domesticity until handsome Paul, played by Jean-Louis Trintignant, appears on the scene. Paul quickly seduces ‘Why’, who seems to sleep with him out of mere curiosity, much to the chagrin of Frederique. Unwilling to be defeated, Frederique visits Paul and makes him her own.
The film shifts into what could have been an inferior mÈnage-a-trois storyline in the hands of any other director. Yet Chabrol manages to create an increasingly suffocating atmosphere, permeated with sexual egotism and emotional game playing. “Les Biches” is a film that demands repeated viewing.
On an interesting note: the film includes a male homosexual couple who are depicted as eccentric hanger-ons/court jesters, but not in the usual effeminate way as would be seen a decade later in the famous French film “La Cage Aux Folles”. Kimmy

A dirty, but sometimes very funny comedy about a single guy, Sonny, who ends up taking care of a small kid. Sonny has two gay friends, Phil and Tommy. They are a grown-up and responsible couple, everything Sonny is not. His idea of a good laugh is abusing the elderly and rattling off fart jokes to small children. You know..a real pain. So, Sonny has to learn to grow up and be a responsible father. This is probably the commercially most successful picture ever to feature a gay kiss, even beating In & out at the box-office. Plus, it's shot in the gay capital of the east, New York City! Yngvar

Fletcher, Tim Dekay and Nan Martin:
This is a good film about what happens when you return home and resuming old flames and a possible new one. It is set in Montana (hum a gay story line in Montana wow things are progressing *smile* and is the story of Henry Hart who is a gay artist. He returns to Big Eden (nice name for a town) Montana, as his grandfather is ill. He had a romance 20 years ago with Dean (his high school prince) but left the town due to the fact that Dean was basically a Heterosexual. It took Henry years to get over Dean and now he was back and faced with coming face to face with his high school prince again and all the feelings he had / has for him. In the background is a possible suitor and he is Pike Dexter who is a Native American, shy and owns the local general store. The minute he see Henry he knows he has feelings for him and sets about to work his way into Henry s life. He starts learning to cook so he can feed Henry s grandfather and get close to Henry. To find out who gets Henry see this film, which has a very good story line and really good performances in this "can you go back" story! The film also makes you think of what would happen if you returned to your home town / city and met up again with your High School Prince - mine is probably married with 2 or 3 kids and not at all what I imagine him to be -what do they say "you can never go back" but would n’t it be fun to do it just as it happens in this film?

This was a thrilling film - here is a gay artist who was willing to be out, play himself and tell his true story of himself and his lover on film. WOW that took guts to do ! It traces the life of painter David Hockney who is going through a love affair with Peter Schlessinger (who is both young and hunk) for a 3 year period. We are able to trace the relationship through the photos and paintings of their time together. There are also a lot of Hockney dreams where he see his lover in bed with other men. This film is a must to see and even though it is over 24 years old it still holds up.Phillip |

This funny little satire is played like a pseudo-documentary. There's a camera guy and a reporter following Crawford around, a bit like "This is Spinal Tap". The competition itself features some wild hairdos. Funny what you can do with hair! In between are some celebrity cameos (e.g. Drew Carey), but sadly - no Sean Connery (though his name is thrown about a lot). We also visit a gay disco and meet a couple of very bitchy stylists. There are some good laughs to be had, so by all means, rent this one. Yngvar

Gabriel works as a waiter but want to be a musician.

What to say about this film? It is the American remake of La Cage aux Folles (which was originally play). Did the French film do it better or is the USA version better - watch it and decide for yourself. So here is the story: Armand and Albert are in this film and in this version owns a well known drag nightclub in South Miami Beach called the Birdcage. Albert is the transvestite star who is getting on in years and is getting more and more difficult to handle by Armand. Armand handles the business side of the club. They have been together for over 20 years and are very out to all who know them. Then comes the son Val, who they raised together (the son came from a one time straight 0ne time fling Armand had with a woman) and tells his father he is getting married to Barbara who is the daughter of A US-Senator and the Vice President of the Committee for Moral Order. He wants his father to pretend to be straight and get his real mom to come for a dinner. Albert is hurt by all this since he raised Val and feels left out of Vals life plus after being "out" for so many years it is almost impossible for them to go back in the closet even for one night. The "real " mother is delayed and Albert takes over as the Mother. What follows is chaos ! Of course there is more to the story with "big" production drag numbers.

Blades
of glory
Funny,
but uneven comedy about two male figure-skaters competing for the
World Championships. They share the gold, but deeply hate each other
and start fighting on the podium during the National anthem ceremony.
Disqualified for life from ice-skating, they find a loop-hole in the
rules, and start competing as a Pair!
This situation would make for some great queer jokes, but really, the gay angle is almost completely absent from the script. (I think the word "gay" is mentioned once) Jon Heder plays a very queeny ice-skater, who falls in love with a girl at the end....That's the biggest joke of the entire movie. Yngvar

Director:
Carl Christian Kønig
Norway: 1997: 112 mins.: Gay central
character
With Kjersti Elvik, Nils Ole Oftebro, Andrine Sæther:
Semi-closeted lesbian cop Hanne Wilhelmsen investigates several cases of rape and murder in and around Oslo. All but one of the victims are immigrant girls; the only survivor is found strapped to her bed in a sorry state. The killer seems to have racist motives, and leaves strange numbers written in blood on the crime scene.
This is a police mystery that gradually turns into a violent revenge thriller. It looks like an extended commercial, shot in a flashy, rapid style. A bit hard to follow, but the ending is very exciting! Hanne, the heroine, is a tough, no-nonsense cop who just happens to be lesbian. Her girlfriend, Cecilie, actually complains that Hanne is a workaholic with no time for bed sheet action. So, there is precious little sex in this movie, I'm afraid!
But it's simply great watching a thriller where the main character's sexual preference isn't billboarded, but simply taken for granted. They should make more movies like this one.
Oh, and it's based on a best-seller novel by celebrity writer Anne Holt. Yngvar

Oh my god – this film take you back to a period you would rather forget, it is 1957 and the Bronx. Racism is a part of America ( I still personally can not see how people were such racists – for me a person is good or bad but it is not depending on the skin color !) So now back to the review a white (sorry I have to use color to explain this film but it is necessary) man is murdered one night in the park. A young black man called Charlie get arrested for the crime and he signs a confession but all the facts do not point to his doing the crime ! His uncle does not believe that he killed the guy and since he is a lawyer he decides to take the case and find out the truth. Noe of the family knows that Charlie is a homosexual, especially his father with is a policeman and a racist himself as he hate homosexuals.Is this why he signed the confession ? Go back in time and see this moving film. You will be better educated for it and the next time you dislike someone for color or race or whatever remember this film and stop it ! Phillip |

as Krishna Sahni (was in that great TV mini series The Buddha

as Ricardo Fernandes;
Well I have just finished watching this film and I have to tell you I enjoyed it. It is the story of three young guys who come from the UK, USA and Australia back to where their families came from Bombay. Ricardo is looking for his lost brother, Krishna is looking to become an actor in a film and Xerxes from the USA is looking to find out if he is really gay or not.
The three are not very well accepted by the people who live in Bombay so it is hard to them to find an apartment until Xerxes meets a gay landlord who he has to bribe with sex to get the apartment. The three then take off in separate directors trying to find what they are searching for but end up stripping for old women in a fun scene . Then their landlord takes Xerxes to a bar where he meets a very handsome young guy and they go to the guys parents for a night of sex. He see the guy again but has a lot of trouble but afterwards Xerxes starts telling people that he is gay. So it is a coming out film too. I won´t tell you all that happens to the three guys but it is often funny and sometime melodramatic but just for the Xerxes story line it is worth seeing this film plus the guy are extremely handsome too !

Borat!
on Movies too gay?? Oh, yes - there is so much gay stuff here you
won't believe. The title character, a Kasakhstani news reporter goes
to the USA to make a movie about the country and makes a total mess
of it all! On one occasion he watches the Gay Pride parade in New
York and makes out with 3 of the participants. Of course,
afterwards Borat is quite shocked, he didn't know the men were gay.
Apparently, having sex with men is just a way of celebrating in
Kasakhstan. In fact, Borat is very homophobic, but you wouldn't
know!
But Sacha Baron Cohen himself is obviously gay friendly.
Watch "Talladega nights" for proof. Yngvar

This is the film (and was the play) which broke the images that the heterosexuals had of gays and many gays had of themselves. For the first time on screen and in the theater they were confronted with the fact that gays are many different types of people and not all feminine as was thought. There are the whole rainbow of gay types in this film and they all come together for a birthday party. There are eight open gay men at this part and one who seems to refuse to come out of the closet. Great lines such as Emery (the queen in the film) saying "Who do you have to fuck to get a drink around here ? Maybe the film is a little dated in that most people know now that gays come from all walks of life but this was the film that started this way of thinking. It was a shocking eye opener in its day. A most to see. Mart Crowley wrote it and never really has another big success as this was. After Boys in the Band he wrote the beginning years of the series "Hart to Hart". Phillip |

Behind the walls of St. Vincent, young orphan boys are sexually and psychologically abused. In part 1 of this tale, loosely based on real events which happened in 1970's Canada, 10-year-old Kevin is the sexual plaything of the deeply disturbed Brother Lavin, while other boys "belong" to other brothers. When young Kevin tries to run away from his abusers, the police bring him right back, where he is beaten so badly by Brother Lavin that he requires hospital care. Brother Lavin, of course, refuses to take the boy to the hospital, and it is only the intervention of a kindly janitor that gets the boy the help he needs, and eventually, gets a police investigation started. In part 2, set 15 years later, the boys have grown to be psychologically scarred young men, Brother Lavin has left the orphanage and the priesthood and has a family and boys of his own. When charges are finally brought against the brothers, the young men have to relive the horrors of St. Vincent, and the price of justice proves to be very high for some of them. Phillip |

Robin who is shy answers the ad and they take off together for LA They make a stop in Pittsburgh to visit Holly who is married to a drug deal. When they arrive he is beating her and the girls stop it but in turn he is badly hurt and in panic the three girls leave him there only to find out later that he is dead. As they get to know each other we are let into the fact that Jane is a lesbian, Robin has Aids and is trying to escape the sickness and of course Holly who is running away from the murder. The rest of the store is about the closeness of the girls despite their differences. Whoppi Goldberg plays Jane the one who is Lesbian and does a fantastic job of playing a Lesbian without the old cliché‚s. A wonderful film to see and sniffle. As strange as it seems Hollywood can also make good Homosexual movies if they want to. Phillip |

This is a film that goes almost nowhere. The only saving item in this youth gang film is that one of the boys seems to be in love with the main boy who says he is American. Anyone who comes in between himself and the boy is almost attached and is handled with in his art of doing things. (the strange item is that tis boy keep dreaming of getting a girl which is opposite with what you feel about him).
There are no love scenes between them and it is just a feeling you get when watching the film. The main boy is a big talker – quite handsome, just coming of age and is trying to get a girl to notice him. Anyway if you do not have any real gay films to watch then this is worth a peek !
It has the feeling of a Passolini film where all the boys are trying to survive in life but it does not have but the real gay touch which his films had. Phillip

James Whales was the director of this horror film. He was a gay who was out long before it was accepted and because of this he was given this film to direct. Hollywood was just not ready for a gay director in this time period and I think the jobs he was offered suffered for this, but any how he somehow got through this film and gave his stamp on it and it does have a gay flare to it.

Made for BBC-TV mini-series giving painstaking treatment to Evelyn Waugh's story. The first two or three hour-long episodes are dominated by the protagonist's schoolboy love affair. This is one of the most romantic school gay love affairs ever filmed. There is also a flaming queen who is trying to be "out" at an all boy school and what happens to him due to being out at an early age. This is really a very expensive production and wonderfully filmed in a special romantic way and even though the gay story ends and it become basically a heterosexual story with a war involved it is still is a must for seeing.

________________________________________________________________________________________________  Brokeback Mountain Director: Ann Lee USA: 2004: 134 mins: With: Heath Ledger is Ennis Del Mar, Jake Gyllenhall is Jack Twist, Anne Hathaway is Alma, Michelle Williams is Lureen: "Love is a force of nature" Brokeback Mountain is definitely the best love story I've ever seen! All the scenes magnificently prepared in this moving and majestic film, the photography is superb as well as the performance of Heath Ledger who should be lock for an Oscar. Many could easily describe it as typical clichá of gay cowboys but Brokeback Mountain is neither a gay movie nor a reinvented Western. During the film one practically forgets that it´s a love story between two men and just thinks about it as the love history. Is a movie that spare in language and theatrics, a movie that says more in its silences. Start in Wyoming high country, in the summer of 1963; Jack and Ennis first come across each other. Jack is an aspiring rodeo rider, sensitive and talkative and Ennis is a ranch hand who swallows his syllables when he talks and the words are pulled out from his mouth in grunts. They have both been hired to cowboy sheep in the Brokeback Mountain for the season. It´s not the easiest job as they have to deal with the elements of nature, coyotes, bears and herds of sheep and the harsh life of the shepherd live. Soon they develop more than just a friendship between them when in a cold, lonely, drunken night as their campfire dies, and the biting cold drives them to huddle together a spark between Ennis and Jack raise their friendship to a new level of intimacy and they fall in love almost by accident. This spark will become a true love for the next 20 years. Brokeback Mountain is not quite the period piece that some would like to imagine. America's squeaky closet doors may have swung open far enough for a gay rodeo circuit to flourish. Yet Brokeback Mountain is ultimately not about sex (there is very little of it in the film) but about love. This isn´t the typical romance. One side is that there are two men serving in both of the romantic leads, but it is also because there is a lot of depth to the feelings that are being portrayed. We aren´t just supposed to figure out if the two really love each other, but rather you can see it in their actions, and what they do when they are around each other. What else can I say? This movie will pull out of you your deepest feelings, mostly unknown. Just see it and enjoy it. Tips: * The movie was filmed in Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies. * The screenplay by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana is extremely faithful to Annie Proulx's excellent short story from 1997.

I have read some reviews which say this is a version of Romeo and Juliet. I personally think it is a unique love story which has some things in common with Romeo and Juliet but it is definitely its own film.
It is the story of two guys who are from different worlds. One is Jewish from Tel Aviv and the other is from Palestinian.
They meet at the border of Israel where one is a guard and the other is trying to get over the border. The guard loses his ID and the Palestinian brings it back to him at home.
What occurs is a love story between the two of them. You know it is going to be difficult but they try to pull it off. The Palestinian guy takes a job in Tel Aviv and tries to stay with his new Jewish lover .
The film is well acted and I became totally lost in this love story. I laughed and cried and hoped. I can not tell you how it ends as it would spoil it for you but this film is definitely one of the best i have seen this year. So see it and enjoy.
I watched it in the original language and with English sub-titles as i wanted to hear the original language.
The director is Eytan Fox and has made many other films over the years which i really enjoyed and this time he exceeded all my experations.The actors (all of them) were very very good and I forgot entirely that they were acting – which is a great thing ! and the filming it really top quality ! Phillip
Note: the two lovers eventually live in Israel and the story includes their friends and their lives there. So with watching this film it was a way for me to understand how people live that country and their relationship with Palestinian which open my eyes to a lot of things I have never thought about.

BUSINESS
OF STRANGERS, THEIn this thriller a business woman and her female assistant get into a love you / hate you relationship. We are smart enough to know that they have lesbian feelings for each other much as the story lines in the 50´s and 60´s. There was never any real discussion about being a lesbian back then but it was still acted out by the actors (much like this film). So if you want to enjoy a thriller which has the lesbian story line to it but does not discuss it you might want to see this film. Phillip

_________________________________________________________________________________________ Bye-Bye Souirty Director Daoud Aoulad-Syad France / Morocco: 1998: in Arabic With: Hassan Essakali, Mohamed Bastaoui, Abdellah Didane, Mohammed Miftah, Nezha Rahile, Abdellatif Khamouli, Zohra Sadok, Zineb Smaiki: A touring group consisting of an old man, his son and a transvestite tour through out Morocco bringing to different towns the wheel of fortune. This was at one time a very thriving form of entertainment but now is on it´s way out and they are not very welcomed in the towns. Transvestites are a sort of tradition. This is a road movie with three people held together not by friendship but work. The transvestite called Rabbi does not become close to theson called Larby and the father who is sick and was once a famous boxer.. To see their story watch this gloomy film. Phillip.

2001 Director / Writer: Harriet Dodge With: Silas Howard, Harry Dodge, Stanya Kahn, Carina Gia, Cash Askew, Misha Klein, Miracle Malone, Joan Jett, Tina Marie, Kris Kovick, Machiko Saito, James Cotner, Nancy Stone, Jimmy Broustis, Carmen White, Sunny Haire, Samuel Sheng, Josh Zinn:
"By hook or by crook" is said to be a female Midnight Cowboy and is the story of 3 weeks in the life of a small town butch woman called Shy (played by Silas Howard) who goes to the big city and meets Valentine (played by Harry Dodge). This starts the story of these butches and opens up to the public the often hidden world of these women. The film is hard to explain but a must see on your list as it is a ground breaking film about people who are not fully female and not fully male but refer to themselves as HE. Phillip
