Vivisection by Camera
By: Michael Bronski
| |
So why is Portrait of Jason so compelling? Why can we simply not look away? Jason is that nightmare vision of homosexuality that lurks in most gay men, most people-- a character so desperate, needy, and wounded that
he is willing to be exploited to get attention. |

In a Family Way
By: Michael Bronski

GLBT film festivals and public TV re-screens the same old documentaries, many of them quite good, that have been kicking around for a decade. |

Through the Celluloid
By: Michael Bronski
| |
Film Noir: you know it right away. Dark shadows across black-and-white empty city streets, hard-boiled detectives muttering in oddly-phrased lingo about gams and rods and dames, lanky
femme fatales with bella donna voices and deadly intentions, and a brooding pessimism that lets no one off the hook because not only is the world pretty rotten, but it's also nothing more than a crooked racket in which everyone loses. |
