Celluloid Closet; Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman, 1995, OV (ang.) + eST | QFaK; Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman, 1995, versions: OR,SS,

Director: Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman • Camera: Nancy Schreiber • Scenario: Vitto Russo, Jeffrey Friedman, Rop Epstein, Sharon Wood, Amistad Maupin • Cast: Lily Tomlin, Tony Curtis, Susie Bright, Arthur Laurents, Whoopi Goldberg, Amistad Maupin, Harvey Fierstein, Quentin Crisp, Tom Hanks

“You wouldn’t have to get drunk to bed Catherine Deneuve, I don’t care what your sexual history to that point had been”, comments Susan Sarandon on her role in “vampire-lesbian” film The Hunger (1982). This attitude arises from a long-term covering-up and negative portraying ofhomosexuality, but also from a gradual inconspicuous inserting of homosexual subtexts into films like Ben Hur, under a strict supervision of the Hays Code and the catholic Legion of Decency. Many film industry personalities give their views on how films have been influencing a public inperceiving homosexuality. Commentary is read by Lily Tomlin, one of the first outed lesbian in the film world.
