A fantastic look into the obstacles gay and lesbian themes had to overcome in order to claim main billing in Tinsel Town.

S'il y avait un film comme un livre de table de chevet, pour moi, Ã§a serait celui-ci ! Excellent documentaire !

Extremely detailed and well documented history of queers in cinema - the studio sterotypes, the censor's requirements - all present and correct. Watch this and understand part of the struggle.

I read the book, and I liked the movie for its many voices (like, Susan Sarandon pointing out that no sane person would pass up a chance to sleep with Catherine Deneuve, even if only fictionally) and the comments on the movies I've seen. Now, it seems a little bland, and I'd love an update. Or something more academic, because The Celluloid Closet is nothing if not accessible.
