Viewing Notes

First movie in Paul’s watch party kicking off Gay Pride month with a Glamour theme. I’m glad Paul noted that this director hasn’t really adhered to a narrative structure in his films bc most of the runtime I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on between each scene. It’s connected by the characters and ambition to be whatever sex they want to be and not be defined by it. Entertaining with some absurd comedy that feel more like sketch routines.

I’m very happy to be introduced to a director that I wasn’t aware of and one that has large collection of work.
