| Summary: | A Comedy in Six Unnatural Acts is a relentless parody of lesbian stereotypes, a series of episodes in the different styles of Hollywood movies. Timeless jokes about role-play, monogamy and butch/femme and the crisp, close-up, black-and-white photography give the film a sharp, modern look. Home Movie is exactly that: quick-cut found-footage with an added voiceover that comments wryly on schoolgirl images: "I looked so normal but felt so different."I'm Not One of 'Em is a tragicomic sketch about denial, as a female spectator at a roller derby talks about her unique experiences with lesbianism. |
