More copies of this ISBNOther titles in the Queer Film Classics series:Montreal Main: A Queer Film Classic (Queer Film Classics)by Thomas Waugh and Jason Garrison.
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A Queer Film Classic: this brilliant 1974 Canadian cinema verité film, set in Montreal's bohemian neighborhood "The Main" and hailed at its Whitney Museum debut, is a fascinating take on social mores and relationships in the 1970s and a twentysomething photographer's attraction for the teenaged son of acquaintances. Book News Annotation:Waugh (film studies, Concordia U., Montreal, Canada) and Garrison examine the 1974 Canadian film Montreal Main, which tells the story of a love relationship between a 12-year-old boy and 25-year-old man, and its history and status as a queer film classic. They consider the historical context of the film in the 1970s, analyze its 16 "episodes," and discuss it in the context of the twenty-first century and its film genre, especially issues of sexual and cultural politics and child sexuality, intergenerational sexuality, pedophilia, and their societal regulation.
