Book Synopsis


Trade Review
This volume brings wonderful clarity to a complex field. In a historical framework with international perspective, the book explores an impressive breadth of representative films in their often controversial political, theoretical and aesthetic debates. And through all this, it certainly makes these readings about saucy daddies and friends of Dorothy a great pleasure. -- Randalll Halle, University of Pittsburgh This short book will be a boon for film scholars looking to quickly survey and learn about the history of queer cinema... Highly recommended. Choice
