Race d'Ep!

"Race d’Ep!" (which literally translates to "Breed of Faggots") was made by the “father of queer theory,” Guy Hocquenghem, in collaboration with radical queer filmmaker and provocateur Lionel Soukaz. The film traces the history of modern homosexuality through the twentieth century, from early sexology and the nudes of Baron von Gloeden to gay liberation and cruising on the streets of Paris. Influenced by the groundbreaking work of Michel Foucault on the history of sexuality and reflecting the revolutionary queer activism of its day, "Race d’Ep!" is a shockingly frank, sex-filled experimental documentary about gay culture emerging from the shadows.

Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures

Nude men in rubber suits, close-ups of erections, objects shoved in the most intimate of places—these are photographs taken by Robert Mapplethorpe, known by many as the most controversial photographer of the twentieth century. Openly gay, Mapplethorpe took images of male sex, nudity, and fetish to extremes that resulted in his work still being labelled by some as pornography masquerading as art. But less talked about are the more serene, yet striking portraits of flowers, sculptures, and perfectly framed human forms that are equally pioneering and powerful.

With all of today's modern technology, it is next to impossible to keep anything from anyone. That can be a problem. However, today's technology can also be quite helpful for a people suffering through their own personal hell. Such is the case for "Coming Out."Alden Peters has decided it is time for him to come out of the closet. He has also decided to film the reactions he gets when he tells his friends and his family. Alden decided he wanted to film his journey in order to help other people who might be living their lives in constant pain--wanting so desperately to tell someone, yet never being able to muster the courage to do so. He covers ALL bases: the fear, the self-loathing, the self doubt, all the questions--to finally self acceptance.Even in this century, announcing your sexual preference is no walk in the park. Although he knows his sexual preference is men, he really does not identify in any other way with a gay lifestyle. He has boundless questions which really have no pat--much less easy-- answers. I thought this film was extremely well made, well directed, and very real. In fact, I am surprised at the overall rating this movie garnered. The only aspect of the film that did not resonate well with me is the film seemed too sugar coated. If Mr. Peters really wanted to be true to his message, he should have shown at least one coming out story that didn't end so well. I am sure most of us are better acquainted with those stories. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy seeing positive reactions and reinforcement, but everyone knows for every positive reaction, there are going to be many more negative ones.This film is unrated. It contains some language and adult situations. I highly recommend it.
