Director: Basil Dearden. Starring: Dirk Bogarde, Sylvia Syms and Dennis Price
Basil Dearden's ground breaking thriller Victim was first released in 1961. With its location shooting, noirish lighting, and doomed characters, it was instrumental in paving the way for the legalisation of homosexuality in Britain. Dirk Bogarde, Britain's most reveared matinee idol, risked his career to portray Melville Farr, a closeted gay lawyer, at a time when homosexual acts were a crime. When his former lover Jack (Peter McEnery) is blackmailed, Farr - who is married - agrees to investigate. The case is complicated by his fear of being exposed and a sudden mysterious death. In addition to its pioneering treatment of a long-repressed crime, Victim is also notable for its sympathetic and non-stereotypical depictions gay men.
Tick Tock Lullaby UK, 2006, 73 Minutes DIRECTOR: Lisa Gornick
Bursting with smart, tender observations on the travails of prospective parenthood, Tick Tock Lullaby is a sharply observed three-part exploration of sexuality and the search for sperm in hip thirty-something London. Spot-on dialogue, dynamic cinematography and perfect performances are the highlights of this gently unfolding intimate portrait of one lesbian couple’s struggle with whether (and how) to have a baby. Butch-y artist Sasha (writer/director Lisa Gornick) and her attorney girlfriend Maya’s (Brit TV phenom Raquel Cassidy) heterosexual procreation envy are contrasted with a pair of other baby-making stories: A single female photographer who wants a child (but not a relationship) sleeps around with a series of young clueless guys while her coupled sister and her boyfriend entertain doubts (and sex and intimacy issues) as they try to make a baby the old-fashioned way. Sasha’s intimate confessions and endearing neuroses touch a lovely, vulnerable nerve as do her tremendously thoughtful reflections on love, sex and intimacy in this bracingly honest, beautifully made British feature from the director of sexy rom-com Do I Love You?
Christian is the typical LA gay boy: hot tanned body, gorgeous looks, and a taste for the one-night stand. By day, he waits tables at the quaint Lila's where his sexual conquests are frequently discussed with his co-workers. One day, new tenants move into Christian's apartment complex - four young Mormon missionaries, including the sweet and innocent Elder Aaron. As sexual tension builds between Christian and Aaron, the Lila's staff wages a bet that Christian cannot bed his missionary man. The bet is on, but there is a problem - Christian is falling in love with his latter-day saint. To make matters worse, the Mormon condemnation of homosexuality sends our lovelorn heroes into trials of regret, loss, perseverance, and forgiveness. Fine performances raise this romantic comedy/melodrama to deliver an unexpected emotional pull. Latter Days won awards at the Philadelphia Lesbian and Gay Film Festival and L.A. Outfest
