Emanuel Levy

Gay Directors, Gay Films?

Pedro Almodovar, Terence Davies, Todd Haynes, Gus Van Sant, John Waters

Buch

Through intimate encounters with the life and work of five contemporary gay male directors, this book develops a framework for interpreting what it means to make a gay film or adopt a gay point of view. For most of the twentieth century, gay characters and gay themes were both underrepresented and misrepresented in mainstream cinema. Since the 1970s, however, a new generation of openly gay directors has turned the closet inside out, bringing a new and poignant immediacy to modern cinema and popular culture.
