This is the story of a Quartet and what happens when one of the members dies and is replaced by a young guy called Eduardo. His youth and sex appeal causes Guglielmo (who is an much older closet gay) to fall all over the younger guy and finally get to kiss him but no luck as Eduardo rejects him. So he gets a hustler to have S/M sex with him but this is too much for the older guy and he ends up crazy (hum - sounds like a plot from the much earlier gay films) but worth a see !

Queen, The

Director: Frank Simon
USA: 1868: 80 Mins:

This is a very early film about a drag contest and who will be "The Queen" of the - All American Beauty Pageant for 1967. It shows the goings on in the late 60´s (before Stonewall) and the culture of drag. I have seen the film and these Queens are mean and tough and rough.
Note: See it and take a glance back in time and enjoy it but do not forget to move away from the screen when the "queen" is picked as the are nasty sparks flying from the "losers" - I have never hear such nasty remarks in my life ;-)

Queens
(Original Title: Reinas)

Director Manuel Gómez Pereira
Spain - 2005 - 107 Mins:
With: Marisa Paredes, Carmen Maura, Mercedes Sampietro and Verónica Forqué

One of the best gay movies that I’ve ever seen, it’s a very big production from Warner Bros. España, "Reinas" is a delightful comedy about three different gay couples and their relations with their overprotective mothers.

The very first gay wedding is about to take place in Spain. This would already cause enough scandal if it were a single ceremony; however that is not the case. Three couples in all will formalise their union in a collective ceremony. The mothers of the grooms, of course, cannot contain themselves. On the weekend running up to the party, there is euphoria, anxiety, shame and other feelings mixed up in the heads of these women, as well as in those of everyone else involved in the wedding. The result of this mixture could change the course of the event itself.

Querelle
[Aka Title: Querelle - Ein Pakt mit dem Teufel]
[Aka Title: Querelle de Brest]

Director: Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Germany (West) / France: 1982 : 103 - 108 Mins.: Gay Characters
With: Brad Davis as Querelle, Franco Nero as Lieutenant Seblon, Jeanne Moreau as Lysiane, Laurent Malet as Roger Bataille, Hanno Poeschl as Robert/Gil, Guenther Kaufmann as Nono, Burkhard Driest as Mario, Roger Fritz as Marcellin,

This is the story (based on the Jean Genet book) of Querelle who a very handsome sailor (played by the late Brad Davis who also stared in Midnight Express ) and is adored by his Lieutenant Seblon but he is also a cold unloving killer! Querelle´s brother Robert is a frequent visitor to a strange whorehouse/ bar and there he is lovers with the owner’s wife Lysiane. If you are (lucky?) you get to play dice with Nono (the owner) and if you win you get to sleep with Lysiane but if you lose (as Querelle did) you get to have Nono give it to you hot and heavy, which happens and includes the actual sex scene, this caused many straights to walk out when I saw it at the movies but as you can imagine the gays STAYED! It also has song the Fassbinder song - You always hurt the one you love. This is a hot film and Fassbinder out did himself in this strange but easy on the eyes film.
