The Queer Movie Poster Book (2004)
-- Finalist Lambda Literary 2004 Lambda Literary Award for Photography/Visual Arts Awards
Films about "the love that dare not speak its name" have been around for
decades, but only recently have they formed an out-and-proud genre. In the
first overview of its kind, The Queer Movie Poster Book traces the history of
gay film through its posters and promotional art. Sometimes alluring,
sometimes lurid, often coded, the posters speak volumes about the social mores
of the times and the struggle for queer identity. Historian Jenni Olson
includes over 150 posters -- from Wallace Beery drag follies to the latest
indy productions -- which showcase the varied spectrum of queer cinema.
Fascinating sidebars discuss dykesploitation films (typically made by straight
men for straight men), gay porn (an overlooked means to social liberation in
its own right), and films with transgender themes (studded with
pulled-from-the-headlines movies). From the earnest to the campy, The Queer
Movie Poster Book constitutes a vibrant feast of popular art and a valuable
document of gay film culture.
