Amours Volés et Malentendus Identitaires
Let's explore this semester the LGBT representation and the question of sex and gender in France with three excellent movies: Tomboy, Les Garçons et Guillaume, à table! and La Cage aux Folles. We will follow the tribulations of young Laure to become a boy, Guillaume who is socially conditioned and an old gay couple Albin and Renato trying to be accepted by their straight children.
All movies are in French with English subtitles
Event Information
Tomboy by Céline Sciamma, France 2011
"Tomboy" is tender and affectionate. It shows us Laure/Mikael in an adventure that may be forgotten in adulthood or may form her adulthood. There is no conscious agenda in view. There is just a tomboy. Not everyone needs to be slammed into a category and locked there. Roger Ebert
