Three Minutes or Less: Lesbians in Cinema: Rotten Tomatoes Show

Posted on July 11th, 2010 by admin

We asked Alonso Duralde, a man who’s literally written a book on gay cinema, to give us the history of lesbians in film in three minutes or less. A frequent guest reviewer for The Rotten Tomatoes Show, Duralde explains how indie movies like 1985’s “Desert Hearts” eventually expanded the portrayal of lesbian characters in American movies beyond double-crossing, homicidal vampires.

    @MasterClipEditor – Maybe you’re just looking in the wrong places. A lot of the indies I’ve seen (most recently The Kids Are All Right) have done a fairly good job, imo. Those films are harder to find, but usually worth seeking out.

    Then again, with a name like MasterClipEditor, I’m guessing you probably knew this and my response was rendered useless. Oh well!

    I have to be honest and disagree with Alonso’s thesis. Modern films still rarely take lesbian relationships seriously.

    hollywood has usually depicted gays as victims or villians. if they arent those characters, the public wont like it. a victory for gays in film is when they arent stereotypically destructive, suicidal, or harmful. for now, they are depicted in film as characters we ought to feel pity for.
