Featured review
captures a lost time
This film made me aware for the first time in years of what a heavy wall came down with the AIDS epidemic, sowing fear and shame in a community that had only really begun to form. It was a community that revolved around sex, yes, but was starting to celebrate a self awareness for the accomplishments of it's members in virtually every profession- law, literature, government, education, film, art, food, etc. Watching this film took me back before the days that fear inflicted us as much as the disease. It is a nostalgic look at a rare time, but not a thoughtless one. Maybe this film could not have been made earlier than now, when the narrators can look back from a point of middle aged survival and relative stability and remember what a strange and wonderful time it was.
