VIP Fave Q Movie Pick
Where we ask today’s hottest queer and queer-friendly filmmakers, stars and community leaders to answer the question:
“One of my favorite LGBT movies is...”
Peter Paige (Star, QUEER AS FOLK, SAY UNCLE)
“Picking a favorite queer film ain’t easy – there are some great ones out there. I love MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE, MAURICE, EDGE OF SEVENTEEN. But if you’re going to make me choose one – I’ll have to pick Derek Jarman‘s EDWARD II. It’s sexy, startling, heart-breaking. The acting is defiant (try to forget Tilda Swinton as the Queen) and defining. The poetry is gorgeous. The deconstruction is genius (it has Annie Lennox singing “Every Time We Say Goodbye,” for god’s sake). I discovered it at a perfect moment in my artistic development – it was so brave, so potent, so unbridled – it blew my mind. It profoundly affected my taste in art and my belief in the power of cinema to change the world.”
Enjoy Peter’s feature film, SAY UNCLE on DVD from WolfeVideo.com or fall in love with him (as Emmett) on QUEER AS FOLK. Or find out more about his latest activities on his official website!
