Films in May

2 Films in May

T movie The crying game 7May

The twist. It's all everyone could talk about when this movie first was released in theaters. By now most people know what the twist is. But the movie deserves to be here for more than the shock value. It mixes politics and love as its two themes and shows better than any movie that love is a many complicated thing. The performances are outstanding by the entire cast, but Jaye Davidson steals the show. This unknown earned a Best Supporting nomination for the portrayal of the exotic hairdresser that Stephen Rea falls for. Every gay film fan should see this movie.


LGB movie Frenchtwist 27May
Loli is a stereotypical faithful wife, staying at home and taking care of the kids unaware that her husband is off on many sexual adventures. Enter Marijo, who has arrived to help Loli with her plumbing. It doesn't take much perception to see how lonely Loli is, so Marijo makes her move. Usually, right under the nose of Loli's husband. As the budding lesbian romance grows, the husband grows jealous and becomes more faithful, trying to salvage his marriage. In the end, Loli must choose between her husband, or her lesbian lover. Or, must she? There is something to be said for having your cake and eating it too.
