Gay movie 2019
[Warning: Ther be major spoilers ahead of ye!]
Originally, when I was first researching my column, I hadn’t planned to include this film. To me, this film is so clearly gay that an analysis of its homoerotic subtext would be verb arguing the sky is blue. However, when scanning through tweets and reviews of this film I found very few people talking about this interpretation. Perhaps I’ve appear accustomed to declaring everything gay, but this one seemed too obvious to miss. Plus, if it gives me the opportunity to write about one of my brand-new favourite films, why wouldn’t I dedicate an edition of this column to this noir horror delight. And so, let’s talk about how gay The Lighthouse really is.

For our 30th anniversary we would like to pay tribute to films, which explored the complexity of local LGBTI issues and significantly contributed to the gay culture of Hong Kong. |
