Mädchen in Uniform (1931 & 1958): A Queer Cinema Milestone 🏳️‍🌈🍿
Both films unfold in a strict Prussian boarding school where lonely Manuela forms a deep bond with the kind teacher Fräulein von Bernburg.
The 1931 version is a bold black-and-white classic that challenged social taboos and militarism.
The 1958 remake, starring Romy Schneider, offers a softer and more emotional melodrama.

Топлес юноша лежит на спине на траве, ноги полусогнуты, его левая рука покрыта татуировочной вязью, этой же рукой он пытается погладить подбежавшую к нему тёмную мориямовскую собаку. Вместо тату-узора я по ошибке узрел, что левая рука героя покрыта блёстками, потому что до этого в фильме уже были тела в блёстках. И это единственный хороший полутрасекундный момент во всём фильме Саши Касаткиной (если переснимать, то с блёсточной рукой). #SashaKasatkina #queercinema #collage #nolink #badsoundtrack

New film about the infamous “Blue Boy” trial which ‘effectively outlawed gender reassignment surgery in Japan until 1998’.

The film features trans actors and the director, Kasho Iizuka, is a trans man.

Interesting what he says about how trans women in 1960s Japan had to ‘overexpress’ femininity.

This requirement to hyperconform was still very much the case for trans men & women in the 1990s when I transitioned here in the UK.

The film is showing in Manchester and will be on at the ICA in London on Friday 13th Feb.

‘People ought to know’: Blue Boy Trial brings Japan’s trans history up to date

Kasho Iizuka’s feature casts trans actors to revisit a notorious 1965 trial that made gender reassignment illegal for more than 30 years. He explains why the history remains unfinished

Peter's Writing on Film

Two films, two failures of craft: one mistakes lectures for drama, the other asks us to believe grown men don’t know what a naked woman looks like. Representation isn’t the problem. Transparency, laziness, and narrative incoherence are. Serious subjects deserve serious filmmaking.

duck butter (2018) - arteta

MEH. so i actually used to know one of the producers of this movie from when i lived in madison, wisconsin and she is also in a number of non-speaking parts of this....so i had no feelings for this movie besides it being some wpp film again----which i dislike as i actually enjoy most of the stuff the duplass brothers act in....i also liked some of miguel arteta's other films. i think im just heavily biased by having to see someone ive never been too keen on.

the sex was meh. the story was meh.
