Desperate househusbands and ex-urbanites Göran (Gustaf Skarsgård, son of Swedish superstar Stellan) and Sven (Torkel Petersson) have emigrated to a Swedish Wisteria Lane. Approved for adoption, both are anxiously awaiting (for very different reasons), the arrival of Patrik, age 1.5. However, a bureaucratic error finds a homophobic, knife-handling teen with a predilection for petty theft on their doorstep, provoking a perplexing reaction from Sven, himself once a darling little delinquent. Ella Lemhagen’s witty and wry look at the ties that unwind, elegantly wrings the tired and treacly tropes of gayby-boomer rom-coms for thoughtful laughs. Adroitly employing gaydoption to expose festering class differences and lingering homophobia, the Midnight Sun bounces off Lemhagen’s savvy and sobering mirror, reflecting us in our strengths and weaknesses. As with Chef’s Special, image+nation’s increasingly sophisticated viewership will appreciate this polemics-and-preaching free portrait of a society in flux, and empathize with the less-than-saintly gay men in their curiously queer quandaries. No dancing queens here but lots of Dolly Parton in this film-circuit runaway hit! [-]

After decades of free-range living, a dauntless butch-dowager Hanna (Sharon Gless, Cagney & Lacey, Queer as Folk) has one last battle to fight. Although her beloved Rachel lies on life-support a few rooms over, Rachel’s daughter Marge (Nina Cortlandt of As the World Turns) religiously forbids her from visiting, insisting that Hanna isn’t family. Between her feisty, foul-mouthed and incisive critiques of her predicament, Hanna imaginatively reconstructs her relationship with demure, dignified Rachel that has weathered the test of time. As Hanna despairs of ever seeing Rachel, a beautiful stranger appears with an irresistible offer… Wendy Jo Carlton’s effortless adaptation of Claudia Allen’s hit play hums with intelligence and wit. Ably helmed by Sharon Gless, lesbian icon and long-time companion of the LGBT community, Hanna Free is timely and thoughtful agit-prop for Proposition 8. Billed a lesbian version of On Golden Pond, it was briskly shot on a shoestring in 17 days, and salutes seniors loving seniors. An unabashed celebration of butch-femme love with a Mid-western twist, Hanna Free is an intergenerational tribute that acknowledges our past and present struggles – with hubris and humour. [-]

The rise and fall – and rise again of the Stately Homo of England. Following the runaway success of The Naked Civil Servant, Quentin Crisp receives a commission for a one-man show in Manhattan. At 72, he attracts critical acclaim, cult status – and his agent, Connie Clausen (Swoosie Kurtz). Insouciant and incisive, his prêt-à-porter observations find him accused of “playing to the straights.” Alienated, he finds comfort with artist Philip Angus (Jonathan Tucker, The Deep End), a kindred spirit, whom Crisp promoted tirelessly. His fortunes are revived upon teaming up with the trenchant and trashy Penny Arcade (Cynthia Nixon, Sex and the City), and buoyed by his friendship with Village Voice editor ‘Philip’ Steele (Denis O’Hare). Richard Laxton’s light direction is enriched by attentive set design and confident performances. John Hurt’s effortless reincarnation of Crisp won a Teddy award at the Berlinale for Best Performer. A seventy-minute sashay on the Wilde-an side, An Englishman in New York celebrates the “triumph of the resolute individual against the faceless multitude.” [-]

An exquisitely tender evocation of the delicate, dreamy netherworld between lust and love, Boy is pure pleasure from start to finish. A poetic well-off youth, not quite as naïve as his sensitive good looks suggest, visits a gay bar one evening and is smitten with one of the young macho dancers. Returning with enough cash to rent Aries, the lad takes him home for New Year’s Eve. Sure enough, fireworks ensue after holiday dinner with Mom, amid the boy’s numerous aquariums. Solito suggests it’s more than physical attraction, or even the irresistible allure of “the other,” that binds the two and they easily transcend economic and educational barriers, making a powerful connection. Through scenes between the boy and his mother and Aries and his father, it becomes clear that the youths are decent, solid guys connected to their families and mainstream society. Instead of the tormented, guilt-stricken or self-destructive teens that populate many queer movies, this deeply satisfying film gives us self-aware lads destined to grow into self-assured men. From nuanced socio-political commentary to a lengthy, lovely, languid love scene, Boy makes all the right moves. [-]

If you were contending with aspiring rivals, a jerk-cum-junkie lover, and your army-deserting, homicidal and homophobic son, you too, would be at wit’s end. Abandoning chaotic, complicated Lisbon, fading drag superstar Tonia and cute-if-crazed Rosário find themselves lost – and stumble upon the elegantly decorated, enchanted dragtopia inhabited by Maria Bakker and Paula in a classic Stein-Toklas pairing. Amidst infrared eclipses and mythical creatures, Tonia confronts her ambivalent existence between genres through Bakker’s urbane utterances. Returning home, Rosário and Tonia rediscover buried touchstones, and things come full circle. Religious Tonia becomes reconciled to her life, amidst plaintive outbursts of song. Enfant terrible João Pedro Rodrigues (O Fanstasma, Odete) revisits tragic tranny territory, harkening back to the Crawford/Davis vehicles of yore. Foregoing vivid spectacles for magic of the mundane, he refuses to comply with our cinematic expectations of empowering and positive messages. He challenges us with his dry-eyed vision of tired stereotypes, endowing them with a rare, schlock-free dignity. Mourir comme un homme competed in the prestigious Un certain regard programme at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, widely touted as the gayest – ever. [-]

The trailer park love child of Thelma and Louise and The Opposite of Sex, Drool is an outrageous dark comedy that will leave audiences salivating for more. Meet the miserable Fleece family. Dad abuses mom, Anora (Laura Harring, Mulholland Drive), daughter Tabby storms around in a teenaged snit and son Little Pete is bullied at school. Enter Imogene (Jill Marie Jones), the Kathy K. Cosmetics saleswoman who moves in next door, peddling products for the cocoa-skinned woman. Despite her arrival in a neighbourhood not too keen on cocoa-skinned anything, the unstoppable Imogene proceeds to give the family a radical makeover, starting with hand lotion and ending with a road trip in her purple Kathy K. car. Along the way, Imogene swiftly replaces the fantasy man who’s been starring in frustrated Anora’s steamy daydreams, and before you can say “purple eye-shadow” the daydream turns into reality. Under its outrageous plot, which includes racism, domestic violence, high school blowjobs, homicide and lots of masturbation, Drool is a sweet-natured Southern gothic about familial love with a generous helping of hilarious dead-pan humour.

Port Gamble is a saccharine-sweet town where puppies are pets, liberal teachers jog in the fresh island air and American flags sway proudly on manicured lawns. But all is not well on the island – Frida has dropped out of Princeton, Reverend Haggis gets better church attendance during Bingo Nights and Tom is terrified of coming out as he brings his boyfriend home to meet his mom. Mom’s already been exposed to the virus though, and needless to say, reacts to the news that her son is gay like a zombie. Taking place right after the U.S. invaded Iraq, race and sexual identity politics are examined as Frida, an Iranian-American, is captured by a local bigot. There’s no preaching in this film though, and the guts and yuks at the centre of it make for a compelling watch. Writer and director Kevin Hamedani, an Iranian-American, takes inspiration from the way he was treated after 9/11 – terrorists are blamed for the infection while Tom and his boyfriend try to fight off zombie attacks after coming out to mommy. ZMD is a gore-filled satire that combines deadpan humour with a light, post-911 commentary, taking a kitschy cue from Night of the Living Dead while delivering genuinely witty moments. [-]

Do hormone therapy and surgery make the man? If they do, what kind of man? Jules Rosskam’s eclectic fusion of dramatic re-enactments and spoken-word performances by Willy Wilkinson depict the vast range of experiences of trans men. Although viewers unfamiliar with feminist trends and gender theory might find this initially overwhelming, an inter-generational, multi-racial dialogue on feminism and trans-masculine issues, and Rosskam’s inclusion of intimate video footage keep it real. There’s something for virtually everyone in this courageous and profoundly personal project. Documentary film circuit veteran Rosskam (Transparent) returns with a unique synthesis of experimental and traditional documentary styles. Citing Bertolt Brecht and Marlon Riggs’ Tongues Untied as diverse seminal influences, he explores the fluid relationship among body, gender and identity – and conflicting ideas around them. And while questions beget only more questions, it underscores the fact that while identity politics will get us started, they certainly won’t get us finished. [-]

Think Thirteen Conversations about One Book: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSMD). A veritable Who’s Who of academics, activists and artists in San Francisco’s revolution-prone and vibrant transgender community deconstruct, then dispel their medicalization by that Bible of Psychiatry, through their own intelligent and intensely personal testimony. Clinical psychotherapist Annalise Ophelian’s landmark documentary is guaranteed to stimulate discussion rather than end it. It should be prescribed viewing for all health-care providers delivering services to transgender people; indeed, it was designed with this objective in mind. People, not patients. Despite its decidedly American perspective, the diversity of experience and opinion reflected here ensure there’s something for our own cutting-edge and eclectic gender-variant communities. image+nation is proud to offer our loyal gender transgressors our most well-rounded programming yet, including festival circuit hits Against a Trans Narrative and Maggots and Men. Bring yourself, and your clueless but well-meaning psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker to Diagnosing Difference. [-]

If you liked Girlfight, but felt like it was missing strap-on action and penetration, then Champion is for you! Tattooed and tough Jessie is a rising MMA champ who not only has smooth moves in the ring, but also has mastered the fuck-and-run move outside of it. With every new conquest she leaves in the morning, Jessie becomes more detached and driven. Blackmailed by a jealous boyfriend to throw her next fight and forced by her manager to appear “less gay” for a photo shoot with her future opponent, Jessie must decide whether her career is more important than being herself. Relish in the sweet, sweet pain of scratching, hair pulling, bondage, slapping, anal, choking and biting, with some unexpected FTM action thrown in! The sex is sweaty, thorough and fierce and the actors really seem to be having fun. With authentic, quivering orgasms and quite a bit of rough play, the queer-made Champion brings the fight into the bedroom… and a van. [-]

Smart, snappy and stylish, sibling team Jacqui and David Morris’s terrifically entertaining first feature is a witty, heartfelt rom-com that pulses with the veddy English energy of Cool Britannia. Paisley-patterned opening credits worthy of Almódovar set the queer-as-folk tone, as Rufus Wainwright’s appropriately over-the-top “Oh What A World” serenades a metrosexual roundelay of cute couples. Harry (James Lance) is an apathetic TV producer who wishes he could be anywhere-but-here while his cater-waiter boyfriend Alex (Luke de Woolfson) can’t seem to get any acting gigs. William is a widowed father hesitant to date again, but soap actor Lawrence makes a play for his affections anyway, while Tom, a well-to-do gay artist, and his eye-candy lover Larrs (Benjamin Hart) are busy gallivanting about town, shopping and bickering. Feelings boil to the surface when the group gathers to meet Louise’s latest boyfriend, and only the straight newcomer appears to enjoy the most awkward dinner party ever. These hapless romantics and a bevy of relatives, exes, tricks and Mr. Right Nows favour witty repartee over gratuitous shagging, making Mr. Right a sophisticated yet still sexy stand-out. [-]
