It's movie time again this Friday the 20th October.
Can YOU keep a secret about the women you love?
"Women In Love"
(2005) USA, 59mins
Director: Karen Everet
A wild story of love and friendship set within the
sexually charged lesbian community of San Francisco.
Through home videos, candid interviews and video
diaries, award-winning lesbian filmmaker, Karen
Everett poses universal questions about the nature of
relationships, monogamy, and polyamory. Karen (My
Femme Divine) turns the camera on herself once more,
in this intensely introspective, raw, and fearless
autobiographical documentary that delves into the
difficult terrain of love, romance, relationships,
sex, polyamory, self-defined family, and how one
lesbian tries to juggle the various aspects of her
life. Beginning in the 1980s and culled from nearly
250 hours of home videos, candid interviews, and video
diaries, Everett captures a lesbian sexual renaissance
that was taking place in sex positive San Francisco in
the midst of the AIDS epidemic. While we are privy to
all the juicy, sexy details, we also follow Everett on
a personal journey that includes self-doubt, painful
loneliness, and heartbreak. Everett appeals to the
voyeur in us all as she unapologetically films even
the most sacred and intimate moments to bring her own
experience of lesbian life to the screen. (LD)
