Samson and Delilah, 1991. This tape is an entertaining amalgam of cross-cut scenes featuring New York performance luminaries including John Kelly, Hapi Phace and DANCENOISE.

Canadian director Yves Simoneau was represented in the Second Annual Boston Gay & Lesbian Film Festival with Pouvoir Intime; now his latest comic gem, although never homosexually explicit is suffused with a gay sensibility. After all, a film that finishes with the hero singing Bellini's Norma in drag for a group of macho hockey players can't be all straight. Perfectly Normal is a heartening tale full of dreams and joyous inspiration." - 15th Festival of Festivals, Toronto

A shy young man with a passion for opera has his world turned upside down by a con artist who really does have a heart of gold.
