QUEERS AT THE MOVIES: 1919-1948 by PIOTRINO

What do we look for when we observe a work of art? What resonates with us as the audience? How does our own individuality shape our perception of films and how do we analyze them in a broader context? Well, what you see in a film often depends on the angle you choose to look at it from. A queer reading of a movie is one way of approaching that issue. Many people would get shocked or offended by the simple notion that a film might have, as little as, homosexual subtext in it, let alone openly queer characters.
