Celluloid Closet, The

USA 1996, 111 minutes
Dir. Robert Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman
Genres: Documentary / LGBT

Feat. Stewart Stern, Tony Curtis, Whoopi Goldberg, Harvey Fierstein

Aroview: Fascinating doco revises the history of mainstream cinema from a gay and lesbian perspective, with an eye for discreet and not-so-discreet images that both fuelled and denied the imaginations of affirmation-seeking movie-goers. Extends to the latent homophobia that exists in current Hollywood.
