If you are a Fan of Derek Jarman´s films - I probably won't have to convince you to see this film but if you are not then let me say the following about this film: It is basically the story of Jarman sleeping in his garden and having beautiful / strange dreams of gay men being lovers, making love and also being harassed the same way as Jesus was but by homophobia. After all is said and done, at the end of the film, what I understand is that Jarman wanted peace happiness and understanding for gays. Phillip |

Picture that it is the 1960´s - a time when all American men had to serve in the military. Two straight ffriends decide to avoid the draft by pretending to be gay lovers. The recruiting officer does not believe them and tells them he is going to keep an eye on them. In panic they decide to move into a gay apartment building as "lovers". What follows is that their campy "Landlady" decided to help out the new lovers including throwing a gay party for them. Meanwhile the situation gets funnier as the families and girlfriends keep dropping by. Phillip
Note: There are definitely the 60´s stereotypes in this film but fun to watch especially the gay landlady. |

Gay
Republicans
OH my god just when I thought I saw all the documentaries in the world comes this one.They are gay and know they are not welcome in the party but they still joined and support these people – I do not get it.
It is almost impossible to understand how there are Gay Republicans were faced with a difficult challenge in the election of 2004, when the intolerance of the Republican incumbent George W. Bush placed them in direct opposition to their party loyalty. Log Cabin, the gay Republican club which has been in operation since 1977, was put under the spotlight during the days leading up to the election, as Bush's well-established position on the issue of gay marriage denies them their civil rights. Faced with a difficult decision between their politics and their personal lives, various members of the community took diverging paths in their attempts to follow what they thought was right. This documentary follows a group of Log Cabin members as they attempt to parse their own path on the way to "Decision 2004," in a process by turns moving, humorous, and politically prescient. Phillip

Gender me
Gender me is a documentary road-movie about Mansour's voyage into the world of Islam. It is a personal voyage in a world of taboos, full of contradictory images. He searches the question of faith and gender in Islam and he wants to collect the unusual stories of Muslim gays. Mansour is a homosexual Iranian refuge and pharmacist; he has been living in Oslo for 18 years. In this film he wants to travel back to Istanbul, where he lived two years before he got asylum in Norway.
The movie was released simultaneously in the cinema and on Norwegian TV (in a short version). Yngvar

George
Michael : a different story 
The mega-success of Michael?s first solo-album FAITH is prodigiously covered, (lots and lots of MTV video clips) and it becomes clear how the singer later tried hard to live down the image of that album.
The tragedy of his AIDS-stricken lover Anselmo is retold in heartbreaking fashion, also the loss of his mother to cancer. The struggle to hide his sexuality from the press is told from different viewpoints, leading up to his ?shocking ? arrest in a public toilet in 1997.
All in all, this is a very personal movie, not always kind to the subject himself. Simon Cowell, Noel Gallagher, Boy George and Elton the Man throw in some really bitchy remarks about him! (Simon Cowell is downright spiteful..)
Still,
George Michael is portrayed as a likeab le, if rather naive and
self-conscious man. About the LA public toilet arrest he says:
Well, I would say it´s not dysfunctional to cruise as a gay man , but cruising as George Michael is sliiiiiightly dysfunctional!!?
Bottoms up, George.
You?ll be very entertained by this film, even if you don?t buy it as the whole truth and nothing but the truth! Yngvar

Get
on the bus
USA: 1995
Directed by Spike Lee
Gay central
characters
The "Million men march" in Washington was
a major event in recent afro-American history.
In this unusual
movie we follow a dozen men going by bus from California
to
Washington to join the march. Each one of them represents some
aspect of being black, male and living in the US. Two of the guys are
gay, they have recently split up after being a couple for some years.
I wasn't expecting much from this, but I was wrong. It's a
fascinating Spike Lee experiment with great, atmospheric photography
and a thoughtful script. Lee treats his characters with the usual
aplomb, and the gays come off as quite sympathetic.

This is basically a 1974 film which shows lesbians in a very positive light even thought they do not say the word. It is the story of Jessica who is an actress who moves to LA to find her fame and fortune. She stays with her best friend from High School. Her name is Julie and she work as a high class prostitute. Even though the house is quite large they end up sharing the same bed. There is a scene when a Lesbian talent agent tries to seduce her without luck. Later on in the film Jessica says : I am hungry but I do not know what I want and then Jessica and Jule make love. Afterwards Jessica is shocked and repulsed. They finally discuss what has happened (still no mention of the Lesbian word) and acknowledge that there is a physical attraction and possibly love but they also say that there will be a rough time ahead.

Germany,
Year Zero
Italy : 1947 : 75 Mins. Drama : Pederast/Gay
Director: Roberto Rossellini
I was not sure if I should include this film in the reviews but even though I do not like the subject matter it is a stepping stone in our history in films. So I have decided to include it. Basically it is the story which shows that Germany is destroyed and it is just after the war ( the settings are real and the city is just as it was right after the war) It is the story of Edmund who is a young boy of 12. He lives in a destroyed apartment shared with many other people. Edmund has to go around searching the city to find food, money and coal. He runs into his old school teacher Mr. Ennig who was a Nazi during the war. The man starts to feel and to touch the boy all over. He then brings him to his apartment which he shares with another man. He puts Edmund on his lap and plays with the boys back and neck. The other man calls Edmund sweet ! and at this point you know what they are up to. The two men are Nazi's who now sell records of Hitler's speeches to the Americans soldiers. They learn from Edmund that his father is sick and convince him that it is for the better if his father dies. The boy believes them and poisons his father. Edmund then tells Mr. Ennig, who says he is shocked and send the boy away. So all alone the boy jumps to his death. Phillip
Note: I have a real problem with this film as so many homosexuals lost their lives by the Nazi hands and yet one of the early pictures after the war again shows that homosexuals are strange plus pederasts and on top of that Nazi's. For these reasons this film leaves a nasty taste in my mouth but I guess showing us in earlier films even a negative light was a beginning for us to finally get to the image we have now.

This film has it all. It tells the story of a young boy and his looking for love in all the wrong places (such as the local cruising toilette) and then he finds it in with a school mate who is a closet track star. He sees that being in the closet is not the place for him so he writes an article in the school newspaper about being gay and all hell breaks lose. His coming out is preprogrammed and then it happens. When his coming out is over he no longer needs the relationship with the closet case lover and he leaves for bigger and better things ! A romantic well filmed film and took over my thoughts and emotions all during the film... I liked it a lot ! Don't miss it !!Phillip |

Ghosts
of Mars 
Director: John Carpenter
USA: 2001
With:Natasha
Henstridge, Jason Statham, Pam Grier:
Pam Grier plays an aggressive, gun-wielding lesbian in this science-fiction flop. Pam is great, the film is not. The entire boring spectacle takes place on the surface of Mars, where buried ghosts turn humans into ugly vampires.
The planet is ruled by a matriarchy, which is a nice idea for a science-fiction movie. Unfortunately, this means the guys in it don’t register at all. Pity, because Jason Statham is my kind of guy, in a Bruce Willis kind of way. Loved him in “Lock, stock and two smoking barrels”! Am I the only who fancies him? Surely not. Yngvar

This is a Hollywood read between the lines film. It is the story of Ballin Mundson who meets and picks up Johnny Farrell and then makes him his number two man at the Buenos Aires casino. The are long - loving glances between the two of them and you will understand the gay story when you see this then Gilda Mundson comes into the picture - which is the usual for Hollywood films of this time. The minutes the males get too close they bring in a female. Worth seeing the closet lovers. Phillip Note: Glen Ford once said he and he and George Macready played their parts as gay lovers would. |

Girl Play
Director:
Lee Friedlander
USA:
2004: 80 mins: Lesbian, Comedy
With:
Lacie Harmon, Robin Greenspan, Dom Deluise, Mink Stole:
Girl Play is based on a theatre piece written by the lead actresses Harmon & Greenspan, who are also a couple in real-life. The story begins with the women’s first meeting at an audition in L.A. They are chosen as the play’s leads, but there is one catch: they must act as lovers.
The director (amusingly played by Dom Deluise) demands that they invest their time in some “method acting”, which does not impress their existing partners.
Apart from a few flashbacks that allow the women to convey their “coming out experiences” – the movies rolls along to its likely conclusion….this is a romantic comedy after all. Girl Play will be most enjoyed by those who appreciate the genre. Kimmy

A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story

This one will take some explaining : It starts off with the suicide of a known transvestite (suicide was the only way to be accepted as a woman for this poor person). The police inspector is looking for clues as to why this happened. They seek help from a Psychiatrist who explains that Glen is to be to a girl called Barbara, but before that happens he must find a way to tell her of his desire to wear her angora sweater, and that he has cross dressing needs. I told you this would be difficult to explain - let's continue . The Psychiatrist then tell the police another story which is the story of Alan, who decides become a woman via surgery (this was based on the story of Christine Jorgensen - which was news at the time). These stories are supposed to make the police more aware of cross dressing and transvestites. Then for no know reason there is a scientist who rambles on and on about life and death with thunder effects from another movie (what this has to do with the story I have never discovered - except the Ed Woods Jr. has a contract to use Bela Lugosi and by God he would use him even if he didn't fit the story- line. The drag is terrible and the story is weak but this 1953 film took very risky chances to make this film and Ed Woods Jr. was often brought to court due to this film. - That is why the film has 5 different titles - by changing the title they thought the police would not know that the film was Glen or Glenda.. We now see this film and laugh but it was a brave try at showing people what cross dressing and transvestites were all about. Phillip Note: Watch also the 1994 film Ed Wood with Johnny Depp (also reviewed in this site under the E´s) |

I loved this film which is about the last days of James Whale´s life. You might ask who is James Whale and I only have to answer - the director of Frankenstein and Frankenstein´s Bride.These two horror classics are in a category of their own and you only have to watch them to know that someone special made these films and that someone was James Whale. He was out of the closet and in Hollywood when most people had to hid the fact that they were gay. He "left" Hollywood and had another life but the fact that he made these film always came back to haunt him though out the rest of his life. Now back to the movie which traces the last days of his life. His last days were filled with a new friendship between himself and a handsome lawn-boy (who was heterosexual - much to James regret. None the less they formed a relationship (non sexual) and the lawn-boy was at his side till the end and gets to hear the whole story of James life . The acting is excellent although I had to watch it twice as during the first viewing my eyes were on Brendan Fraser who is a hunk... A well filmed Oscar winning film about a real gay man - see it and enjoy !!! Phillip |

A good friend decides to take matters in her hands and introduces Max to Ely who is a not so pretty and a much older Lesbian who wears out of date clothes and isn't at all trendy as Max is. They seem to have very little in common besides! If you want to see if Max can look past all this and fall in love you will have to see the film.Phillip |

Grande
École (brazilian title: Escola de Sedução)
France: 2004:110 mins
Director: Robert Salis
With: Jocelyn Quivrin, Alice Taglioni, Grégori Baquet, Elodie Navarre, Arthur Jugnot
Group of youths is admitted to one of France’s grandes écoles where the country’s leaders are formed and the doors to power are opened. If everything goes as planned, they will be the elite of the future. But things do not always turn out as expected in life. Their convictions are rocked by a combination of feelings and intrigue, and they must face themselves and the conditions for success. All of a sudden, they realize that the grande école is not exactly what they were expecting. The film is set at an elite French Business School, where very-rich kids learn to become tycoons. The action revolves around Paul (Gregori Baquet), who, in one of many parallels to Maurice, is not quite to the manor born. As the film begins Paul is straight and dating a woman. To his surprise, he finds himself emotionally and sexually drawn to his rich, powerful and gorgeous roommate Louis (Jocelyn Quivrin). He finds relief and eventually romance when Mécir, a working-class Arab young man (Salim Kechiouche) comes on to him. Adapted from the play Best School by Jean-Marie Besset. Participated in the 2004 Rotterdam Film Festival. A very nice movie with plenty of high drama, lots of naked guys (full frontal), hot sex and a budding gay romance. Claudio
Alternative Review:
Grande ecole
Agnes, on the other hand, is terribly jealous and offer Paul a deal: the first one who get Louis wins. If she does, Paul will quit exploring their homosexual instincts and if he does she will leave him. In the meanwhile Paul meets Mecir, a young Moroccan worker who will show him what real life is.
Some
of the dialogs are too deep and boring to be followed by a non-French
speaker, but is a good movie anyway. You can't miss seeing the
swimming pool's shower scenes (Louis is a water polo player). I could
have had a happier ending. Darío

Director: Diane Nerwen
Hey, what a great way to re-use
old movie footage! Scenes from gay icons Marlene Dietrich and Zarah
Leander’s movies are spliced together to resemble a lesbian
love-story. Leander’s scenes are mostly from wartime film
“Die Grosse liebe”(1942) Dietrich’s from “Blonde
Venus” and “Dishonored”. The dialogue is lifted
from 1930ies Jewish movies. Simply a great idea. Let’s have
more, and may I suggest a Rock Hudson – James Dean mix next??

This film stars Jacqueline Bisset as a young girl coming to the city to make it big as a Las Vegas showgirl. She goes through many men in this film but only one stays and that is Buck Brown. He is her best friend and gay (but not a stereotype gay as usually seen in films around this time). He sticks with her through thick and thin and is always there to give her support. There is a great scene when both of them date two members of a rock band called - The Ice Pack. For Lesbian viewers there is a very quick scene with a Lesbian show girl who likes to hit girl's ass.

This film is by the director of Parting Glances so you can expect that it will be good but I bet you won't expect that it is quite funny. It is the story of an agency who is responsible for the filming of the daily series called : Divorce Court. Mark is a gay and a write for the series. He lost his lover one year before to AIDS and since then has been alone. He works well with his co-workers until Bill breaks up with his girlfriend and suddenly become an attraction for Mark. When Bill asks to go on vacation with Mark, Mark assumes that he is in the start of a new relationship but things go wrong and Bill ends up with Jeremy (who is Mark's best friend). This relationship comes out into the open and causes a lot of trouble. At the head of the agency is Jo who is overweight woman who runs the agency with a tough and sometimes gentle hand. Jo is played by Jackie Beat. The part is a sort of a part for Divine and we are often reminded of Divine in the way Jackie Beat plays the part. It is just like a Divine movie where they never say she/he is a transvestite but you just know (and see it). I liked this movie very much and the gay men are likable, the Transvestite is likable, the heterosexuals are likable - even if the agency is a bit strange. See it - you'll like it ! Phillip |

This is a film about 8 Vaster women in the 1930´s. It features the debut of Conduce Bergen who plays a character called Lackey. She returns from Europe with a mannish female lover called the Baroness much to the surprise of her friends. Very daring for the early 60´s. Note: You will hear Larry Hagman (of J.R. - Dallas fame) group of friends say: I never pegged you for a Sapphie (lesbian). The cast is too big to mention but you will see a lot of people who became famous later in life. I have listed a few of them. Phillip |

In the seventies, freewheeling comedy-sketch movies were popular. Born out of the Saturday Night Live-TV show, they pleased the marihuana-smoking college crowd with liberal, uncensored humor. This almost forgotten movie is worth a look, if only for the complete absence of prejudice and homophobic jokes. One of the sketches feature two paranoid drug-dealers, one of them gay, the other straight. Yngvar
There is a very off-beat
seduction scene where the conversation goes something like this:
- You know, man, I really like
you.
- I like you too, man.
- No...I mean..I
reeeeeaaaaallllly like you, man!
- Hey, the same here, man.
You're my best friend.
- No...what I mean
is...ohhh...(sighs)..Let's go to bed, man!!
- Hey, it's only 8 o
clock, man. I'm not sleepy..
Yup! Getting a stupid guy into bed
can be a hopeless struggle
