Synopsis

'Sparkling . . . One of the best film critics around.' Literary Review

'Sparks with ideas, humour and wit . . . [a] brave, dizzying book.' Jon Savage, Observer

'A stunner . . . The future of criticism.' Brandon Taylor

Playfully blending personal memoir, criticism and candid new interviews with film-makers from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum, Ryan Gilbey's eclectic and revealing book is a non-chronological treasure-hunt through queer cinema past and present.
