USA 1996 | Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Freedman | documentaire | vostFR | 102’ | 35mm | Cast : Whoopi Goldberg, Richard Dyer, Gore Vidal
Released in 1996, this groundbreaking documentary utilises key texts in cinema history to examine how the entertainment industry has shaped the perception of queer people in public opinion over the course of the 20th century. Dyer as well as other experts touch on this and more in the film. An equally interesting topic of conversation for Dyer’s post-screening debate: in the almost 30 years since the film was released, have attitudes changed at all, or are queer people still hiding in the dark space between the lines?
« The Celluloid Closet goes all the way back to the birth of cinema, to an experimental Thomas Edison short of two men dancing, to trace the odd, funny, sad and disgraceful history of homosexual iconography on film. » (San Francisco Chronicle)
« Epstein and Friedman have been instrumental in presenting gay-related issues to a wider audience. Looking at depictions of homosexuality in mainstream American movies, they offer an immensely entertaining, galloping reflection on screen perceptions of lesbians and gay men, from the humorous to the heinous to the heartening. » (Variety)
