Fans of betiful, paed men sufferg silence lap up the cema of Julián Hernánz, while the gentle teen drama The Way He Looks (2014), about a gay bld kid, was a huge h wh crics. Kiss of the Spir Woman (1985)The only English-language film on this list is also the bt known, thanks to William Hurt’s Osr-wng performance as Luis, a flamboyant gay perast servg time a Brazilian jail cell wh polil prisoner Valent (Rl Julia). The late Argente-born Brazilian director Hector Baben also featured homosexual characters his grty gang drama Pixote (1981), but Kiss of the Spir Woman is his bt film, a damng crique of the Brazilian ary ernment.

Only thg is, he’s gay and shacked up wh a botted mil stunt Guadalajara. Strawberry and Cholate (1993)The first (and, to date, only) Cuban film to be nomated for the bt foreign language film Osr, Strawberry and Cholate starts out like a cute gay rom before velopg to somethg far more provotive. Dpe a reputatn for reprsn, this sharp, irristible edy, spiced wh a love of mp that breath the same air as Pedro Almodóvar, is surprisgly cril of the Castro regime and sympathetic to s gay protagonist (Néstor Almendros’s 1984 documentary Improper Conduct is a damng dictment of Cuba’s homophobic polici).

The sweaty mararie of the two men has homoerotic ton om the get-go – the men are far more terted each other than their girliends and have a weird need to sleep wh women the other has already bedd. Like the two gay abductors, the film has a warmth beneath s timidatg exterr and lov all of s eccentric characters. Berger clearly lov the laddish mararie between men, even as he gently satiris machismo and emphasis s homoerotic unrton.

The fact that the protagonists are women fightg agast male opprsn is of far more tert to Puenzo than their homosexualy.

The blend of fantasy and realism is betifully realised by filmmaker Javier Fuent-León, who origally nceived the story about a hetereosexual affair wh a sex worker, before changg the characters when he himself me out as gay.
