Now You See It: Studies on Lesbian and Gay Film

by Richard Dyer

Now You See It, Richard Dyer's groundbreaking study of films by and about lesbians and gay men, examines familiar titles such as Girls in Uniform, Un Chant d'Amour, and Word Is Out, in their lesbian/gay context as well as bringing to light many other forgotten but remarkable films. Each film is examined in detail in relation to both film type and tradition and the sexual subculture in which it was made.

How do you call a crap review of some movie? A crap review.

How do you call a collection of unsold crap reviews of some movies? A study.

Dear reader, pay your taxes because Dyer wants a bigger pension.
