DEEP DIVE: Queer Family Matters
Lady Justice Brewing, 3242 South Acoma Street ,, Englewood, CO, USIt’s June, which is Pride month (let’s be real, Pride month is every month).
We all know from cinema that LGBTQ+ folks tend to have complicated relationships, to say the least, with their family. Just as a blanket theme, I wanted to take a look at three films that offer a small glimpse into these relationships, joyous, painful, or otherwise.
Let’s dive in!
——————————————————
Films:
- The Long Day Closes, Terence Davies (1992)
Synopsis: A lyrical reverie about a young Liverpool boy coming of age in the 1950s among his loving family and the austere Catholic Church as he enters the rigors of school, nurtures a bedazzled love of the movies and longs for companionship.
Stream: Criterion Channel, MUBI, FREE version HERE - The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros, Aurarus Solito (2005)
Synopsis: A young boy falls in love with a handsome policeman who is investigating his family's criminal activities.
Stream: Prime Video, FREE version HERE - Laurence Anyways, Xavier Dolan (2012)
Synopsis: A drama that charts ten years in a transgender woman's relationship with her lover.
Stream: Prime, YouTube, Kanopy
——————————————————
Please try to watch all the films! If you can only watch a few, you’re still welcome to join! I usually try to find the free versions of these films and if I do find them, I’ll post links in the comments!
