| Item Description: | "Screening in Cannes at the Cinema Rex, Wednesday, May 16, 2 pm, Tuesday, May 22, 8 pm" "Liberally laced with staged reenactments, post-dubbed dialogue and gratuitous soft-core sex, Wishman's would-be 'documentary' stunningly violates every rule of cinematic objectivity, substituting scripted artifice in the place of 'real life' and appearing to exploit its subjects as much as it explains them.

Bowen, from DVD booklet. The Cushing Library/Women & Gender Studies copy was acquired as part of The Don Kelly Research Collection of Gay Literature and Culture. |
