Todd Haynes

1995

119 min

LA Premiere of New Restoration!

This breakout 1995 film from Queer auteur Todd Haynes (and the first of many collaborations with Julianne Moore) draws inevitable parallels to the AIDS epidemic in its portrayal of a suburban housewife stricken with a mysterious illness, and who is drawn to outlandish cures.

Carol, a typical upper middle-class housewife, begins to complain of vague symptoms of illness. She “doesn’t feel right,” has unexplained headaches, congestion, a dry cough, nosebleeds, vomiting, and trouble breathing. Her family doctor treats her concerns dismissively and suggests a psychiatrist. Eventually, an allergist tells her that she has Environmental Illness.

Claire Denis

1999

92 min

It's not gay but... those handsome soldiers, the beautiful cinematography, the bodies in the sun, woof. This tale of obsession and jealousy between an older sergeant and a young recruit from French master Claire Denis is a smoldering and sensual examination of men's worlds.

Foreign Legion officer Galoup recalls his once glorious life, training troops in the Gulf of Djibouti. His existence there was happy, strict and regimented, until the arrival of a promising young recruit, Sentain, plants the seeds of jealousy in Galoup's mind.

If you know a gay man over 50, you've probably heard this film quoted endlessly. "Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!" is one of many pearls of wisdom from Rosiland Russell as Mame, a progressive woman of the 1920s who takes in her orphaned nephew.

Mame Dennis, a progressive and independent woman of the 1920s, is left to care for her nephew Patrick after his wealthy father dies. Conflict ensues when the executor of the father's estate objects to the aunt's lifestyle and tries to force her to send Patrick to prep school.
