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.
