Alex Ramon: Growg up and realizg my sexualy, I was attuned to disverg work focg on gay characters, and certa early and mid-Neti films, whether firmly mastream like Jonathan Demme’s Philalphia (1993) or fiantly not like Gregg Araki’s The Livg End (1992) (the latter taped om TV and watched secret), were important to me.

Sunday Bloody Sunday matter-of-factly prents a gay relatnship opposn to Brish opn of the time.
In his jt-published book Shootg Midnight Cowboy [see review the Summer 2021 prt issue of Ceaste], which offers a lot of pellg sight to Schlger’s posn as a gay director, Glenn Frankel not that Midnight Cowboy out of the “brief but fertile terregnum between the eclipse of the old stud system and the rise of a new one, a time when origal, risk-takg movi flourished, old l were shattered and a new breed of film-makers took on adult them and characters that had never been seen mastream movi before.

I happen to like The Boys the Band for s sheer boldns of immersg an dience an exclively gay world for two hours—a feat that Stairse attempted, but turned to an abrasive vville of Rex Harrison and Richard Burton thrashg about offensive posturg.
