Crime Scene #20: 'Tiger Bay' and the Adolescent Capital Crime Scene #20: 'Tiger Bay' and the Adolescent Capital | Vague Visages (Vawg-Vee-Sawj)

“Tiger Bay as a state of mind may be long gone, but ‘Tiger Bay’ the film remains a document of a place long turned to rubble. And what vital documents.”

Tightrope Walker: Dirk Bogarde’s Post-War Rebellion Tightrope Walker: Dirk Bogarde’s Post-War Rebellion | Vague Visages (Vawg-Vee-Sawj)

“Rejection is the purest form of rebellion. Bogarde was never embraced by Hollywood in large part because ambivalence is not a bankable asset. He left too many questions unanswered.”

Building the New Queer Canon #5: Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex/Dreams/Love Trilogy Building the New Queer Canon #5: Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex/Dreams/Love Trilogy | Vague Visages (Vawg-Vee-Sawj)

“Gradually, the Sex/Dreams/Love trilogy redefines queerness as a process of self-discovery which can always evolve, rather than an ill-fitting label you’re stuck with after a single formative experience.”

“Robert Butler’s ‘Night of the Juggler’ isn’t the best New York City film ever made, but it might be the best cinematic representation of the location.”

Review: Tina Romero's 'Queens of the Dead' Review: Tina Romero's 'Queens of the Dead' | Vague Visages (Vawg-Vee-Sawj)

Tina Romero's QUEENS OF THE DEAD lands in U.S. theaters TODAY. Fierce, funny, and led by the luminous Katy O'Brian and a scene-stealing Nina West, it's proof there's life in the zombie sub-genre. My review for VV.

Building the New Queer Canon #6: Ethan Coen's 'Honey Don't!' Building the New Queer Canon #6: Ethan Coen's 'Honey Don't!' | Vague Visages (Vawg-Vee-Sawj)

“The biggest flaw of ‘Honey Don’t!’ is that even with Cooke’s involvement, the sexuality of the protagonists lacks any sort of perceptive depth, with no inter-character dynamic feeling more lived-in than the plot needs it to be.”

“‘Plainclothes’ isn’t necessarily a kinky film — it just does better than most tales of life in the closet to explain why this can be more alluring than coming out and finding somewhere to make these connections in the open.”

A Beautiful Tragedy: Reimagining the Blacklist A Beautiful Tragedy: Reimagining the Blacklist | Vague Visages (Vawg-Vee-Sawj)
