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

* global warming gay film *

A llectn of two beloved gay short films. 'Performance Anxiety' follows two guys who are open-md and gay-iendly, but embarrassed to sexually embrace one another and risk seemg vulnerable or overly-exced. As the two get to know one another Tom starts to fall for Nikos but he has no ia if his new iend is gay or straight.

Kev Grant Spencer is perfectly st as Tom and you fd yourself rootg for him throughout as he tri to figure out if Nikos bats for the same other two films on this release are Daddy’s Big Girl, about a girl (Rakefet Abergel) who tri to rencile wh her tranged man-hungry father (Christopher Bradley), and Performance Anxiety, about two straight actors who prepare to perform a gay sex scene for a movie. It’s a shame that the first of the shorts isn’t on par wh the other three otherwise would have been a solid 81 mut of gay cema. That unbearable, paful erotic tensn is more or ls the staed mood of Oliver Herman’ shimmerg and sensual ary drama “Moffie, ” which is easily the bt movie about gay male reprsn sce “God’s Own Country.

” Set 1981 South Ai at the apex of the South Ain Borr War, the film’s story of gay unrequed sire turns out to be a sg for somethg far more lethal s marrow. It’s 1981, South Ai, which means ’s not okay to be a “moffie”; effemacy is a sign of weakns, and beg gay is also illegal.

Frears’ film nonts all manner of taboos, not only terms of the gay relatnship at s center, but also the entrenched xenophobia and natnalism that challenge their bond. Raer Werner Fassbr’s fal howl of anguish om the soul was 1982’s “Querelle, ” his last and possibly gayt movie.

It’s an adaptatn of a novel by French liberte and gay in Jean Ge, settlg to a French port cy where a madame played by Jeanne More ns the world, and sailors engage explic sex acts that turn vlent. Ala Guirdie’s sexy and sry “Stranger by the Lake” has earned cricisms for nflatg homosexualy wh crimaly, but ’s hard not to be drawn to the world of a nu beach that serv as a regular cisg spot for lonely gay men.

” Set durg the fal years of the Edo perd Japan, “Taboo” centers on an androgyno-lookg samurai (played by Ryuhei Matsuda) whom his manr spects to be gay. It ma the shortlist, but py didn’t go all the way bee this spirg movie provis need reprentatn for young gay people stgglg to e out.

DiCapr about his qut to save the pla om elogil llapse.

Directed by Fisher Stevens, <em>Before the Flood</em> documents DiCapr as he jet-sets om Greenland to Indonia to Miami and beyond, speakg to world lears and, per the film’s ler not, "bearg wns to climate change on a sle that no one should ny." In the ve of <em>An Innvenient Tth</em> or DiCapr’s own 2007 e-doc <em>The Eleventh Hour</em>, <em>Before the Flood</em> is meant as a clarn ll for viewers to stand up, take actn, change the world, etc.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent clear-both block"><div class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup my-40"><p><q class="right">'Before the Flood' is meant as a clarn ll for viewers to change the world</q></p></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe">Global warmg is an objectively urgent crisis facg our pla, so 's a special achievement that DiCapr's film manag to eva that sense of urgency almost entirely. It certaly isn’t for lack of visual stimulatn. If you like watchg Leonardo DiCapr do stuff, you’re for a treat. Here’s jt a partial list of stuff you n watch Leonardo DiCapr do this movie: tour the UN wh Ban Ki-Moon, speak ont of the UN General Assembly (twice), ri a snowmobile sled across a meltg glacier Greenland, listen to narwhals o, ph children on a swg on the Pacific Ocean island Pal, tour a washed-out onn field India, fly over a smolrg Indonian rart, chill wh an elephant, gawk at robots si Tla’s Gigafactory wh Elon Mk, awkwardly greet Secretary of State John Kerry, offer baby orangutans u, stroll the Whe Hoe grounds wh Print Obama, and kiss the Pope’s hand and give him a book of Hieronym Bosch patgs.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe">If that sounds like a lot of stuff to do one documentary, you’re right. Which gets at <em>Before the Flood</em>'s primary flaw: a 30,000-foot approach. Unlike well-honed environmental documentari like <em>Gasland</em> and <em>Blackfish</em> that pick a subject and dig , <em>Before the Flood</em> offers a smasbord of issu, breezg through subjects like strip mg, fortatn, risg oceans, tar sands, sertifitn, ral reef stctn, vanishg glaciers, and more to pat an overwhelmgly dire visn. Certaly the problems are terrelated, but by takg on so much the documentary breaks down plited topics — each worthy of vtigatn! — to be-sized, rctive takeaways: Solar energy? Good. Eatg beef? Bad. Eatg chicken? Better. Fossil fuels? Bad. Consumg ls? Good! The film's msage n be summed up one sentence: the environment is fucked, and we should do somethg — anythg — about .</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe">It's a worthy takeaway, but any viewer 2016 who isn't already aware of most of the issu <em>Before the Flood </em>rais is eher unterted the subject, or willfully nial. And if they're the latter mp, 's unlikely <em>Before the Flood</em> will change their md.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent clear-both block"><div class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup my-40"><p><q class="left">Fossil fuels?

As an vtigatn, DiCapr’s grim — but actn-packed! — world tour feels toothls. In a discsn that followed the film’s premiere screeng, the actor was ld for "actually llg out climate niers by name. I so want to honor you for that," the morator ghed. But the dividuals DiCapr lls out — namely the Koch brothers, Fox News anchors, and slew of right-wg ngrs members, are not bashful about where they stand. In fact, DiCapr blows the one chance he has for a meangful nontatn: on a helipter tour over an oil sand field wh an oil executive, DiCapr fails to ask a sgle pertent qutn. Instead he quips, "It looks like Mordor" to no one particular. End of scene.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe">Am I askg too much of <em>Before the Flood</em>? Maybe. Ultimately, DiCapr’s e is admirable, and some of the shots were legimately stunng. DiCapr off as dilettantish, but well-tentned. That said, there are better documentari out there that ver much of the same material, more rigoro, and tertg ways. You’ll jt have to forego the adventur wh Leo.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20
