Não sei exactamente porque razão mas achei que um filme com este título havia de ter algo de interessante :-)
E não é que tinha mesmo...
The movies are over 100 years old, and gay movie characters have been with us since the very beginning -- even during the Production Code years, when “sex perversion” was explicitly forbidden. From comic sissies to lesbian vampires, from pathetic queens to sadistic predators, Hollywood has both reflected and defined how we think about homosexualityand about what it means to be a man or woman. With clips from over 100 Hollywood movies, and interviews with many of the filmmakers and stars who created them (including Tom Hanks, Shirley Maclaine, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg and Gore Vidal), The Celluloid Closet is an epic story -- by turns surprising, hilarious and disturbing. The Celluloid Closet makes us see Hollywood images in a whole new light, exploding sexual myths and examining our attitudes about sexuality and sex roles as they evolved through the 20th century.
Quem diria que filmes como "A corda" de Alfred Hitchcock, "Ben-Hur" de William Wyler ou "Os Homens preferem as loiras" de Howard Hawks tinham escondido sob a trama elementos gay alguns dos quais conhecidos pelos actores (outros nem tanto), ou apenas inseridos para testar a censura do "production code". Confesso que nunca tinha pensado que alguns clássicos do cinema norte americano podiam esconder (ou não) histórias ou personagens gay.
São 100 min. sobre a história do cinema norte americano através dos enredos e das personagens homossexuais de muitos filmes que se tornaram clássicos do cinema universal.
