10 GREAT FRENCH GAY FILMS

La Cage x Foll (1978)Tradnally France has been seen as one of the most liberal untri the world, and boasts an enviable rerd on gay rights, spe the ocsnal rantgs om Brigte Bardot. But has this homoiendly attu translated to s cema?

We’ve kept the list to films that are easily available to watch the UK, but honourable mentn should go to The Ostrich Has Two Eggs (1957), a dated farce that at least has a sympathetic gay son, albe one who never appears on screen, and L Amiés particulièr (1964), set a boys’ boardg school.

Un chant d’amour (1950)French wrer Jean Ge is one of the key figur of gay culture, whose novels (cludg Querelle of Brt), plays and says have been champned by gay and straight rears alike. There’s nothg explicly gay here, but any film that shov Jacqu Perr  a sailor su, squeez Gee Chakiris to tight whe troers and rat self wh lavish, lurid sets fely has a queer eye.

La Cage x Foll (1978)“Une édie très gay” smirked the tagle for this box-office smash. Blier’s films often foc on two aquate men ung agast women (L Valss, the Osr-wng Get Out Your Handkerchiefs), and unrton of homosexualy have always lgered the air.

Here ’s ma explic, albe an ocsnally homophobic ntext – the scen where the hband is forced to don women’s clothg are particularly unfortable. The arrival of the betiful and charismatic Gill threatens both his thory and his mand on his sexualy, as an unrequed homoerotic attractn tak hold.

Anatomy of Hell (2004)Gay men hate and fear women, even more than straight men. When a woman (Amira Casar) slash her wrists a gay bar, she challeng her homosexual rcuer (Italian porn star Roc Sifedi) to spend four nights wh her to “watch me where I’m unwatchable”. Fet the cliché of the gay bt iend, this guy n’t stand women.

INTERNATNAL GAY CEMA: 33 LGBTQ MOVI TO SEE OM AROUND THE WORLD

It’s easy to snigger at the portento dialogue (“The elasticy of a boy’s an don’t lie about the tightns of the lower tt”) and the assumptn of misogyny may rile male viewers, gay or straight. Only the fal third is explicly gay, but homoerotic tensns simmer throughout. Most reviews foc on the showy performance of the equently naked Nilas Cazalé as the rebel whout much of a e the first chapter, but the emotnal heart li the fal third, as Morel explor the plexi of the vulnerable gay youth who mt choose between aternal loyalty and a chance at romantic happs.

L Invisibl (2012)Sébastien Lifshz is bt known for his gay featur (Prque rien, Gog South), but his ft work to date is this revealg documentary which gay men and women their 60s and 70s talk about their liv and lov. Stirrg archive footage om the 1960s shows pro-gay monstratns – tertgly, many of the straight onlookers support the liberal march. The wty, charismatic and urageo people paved the way for the eedom gay men and women enjoy today.

Their disarmg ankns creat an valuable oral history, while their tal of opprsn show how far gay rights have progrsed over the s.
