The Celluloid Closet (1996)
Wat 'That's Entertainment' deed voor filmmusicals, doet 'The Celluloid Closet' voor homoseksualiteit in Hollywood, aangezien deze uitbundige, opzienbarende film een oogverblindende honderdjarige geschiedenis presenteert van de rol die homomannen en lesbiennes op het witte doek hebben gespeeld. . Lily Tomlin vertelt als Oscar-winnende filmmaker Rob Epstein ('The Times of Harvey Milk' en 'Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt') en Jeffrey Friedman assembleert fantastische beelden uit 120 films die het veranderende gezicht van filmseksualiteit laten zien, van wrede stereotypen tot heimelijke liefde voor de activistische triomfen van de jaren negentig. Tom Hanks, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Curtis, Harvey Fierstein en Gore Vidal zijn slechts enkele van de vele acteurs, schrijvers en commentatoren die grappige en verhelderende anekdotes verzorgen.
Regiseurs: Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman.
