Twist (1995, 100 min, France)
Director: Josiane Balasko Studio: Disney/Miramax
Starring: Josiane Balasko, Victoria Abril, Alain Chabat
REVIEW:
Victoria Abril is Loli, the dutiful, housebound Spanish wife of
a boorish French real estate broker (Alain Chabat), who prides himself
on his profusion of extramarital affairs. Marijo (Josiane Balasko),
a cigar-smoking dyke from Paris, lands on their doorstep in the
South of France with a broken-down VW minivan. After a bit of small
talk, Marino makes a pass at Loli. Starved for the attention of
her philandering husband, Loli responds warmly to these advances,
much to his outrage. But when his indiscretions come to light the
whole situation really blows up and Loli retaliates in a most unusual
way. (French with English subtitles)

Director: Jon Avnet Studio: Universal
Starring: Kathy Bates, Mary Stuart Masterson, Mary-Louise Parker,
Jessica Tandy, Cicely Tyson, Chris O'Donnell, Stan Shaw, Lois Smith
REVIEW:
Adapted from Fannie Flagg's novel "Fried Green Tomatoes at
the Whistle Stop Cafe," this endearing adaptation centers on
the relationship between two pairs of women in separate time frames:
but studiously avoids any of the lesbianism of the book. Of this,
director Avnet said, "You can take it how you want to. I had
no interest in going into the bedroom." Regardless of the filmmaker's
intentions, there is a palpable sexual energy between Idgy and Ruth.
Wonderful and warm movie.

 Gasoline
(2001, 90 min, Italy)
Director: Monica Lisa Stambrini, Studio: Strand Releasing
Starring: Regina Orioli, Mariella Valentini, Maya Sansa, Luigi Maria
Burruano
REVIEW:
A bespectacled student dropout, and Stella (Maya Sansa), a tough
girl mechanic, are lovers, running a countryside service station/cafe.
It's a happy, quiet existence for the adoring pair. That is, until
Lenniís domineering, truculent mother shows up, sparking
a violent confrontation that ends with her bloodied corpse. Although
an accidental homicide, Lenni and Stella decide to cover up their
gruesome act of matricide by clandestinely disposing of mom's body.
Unfortunately, just then a bored group of hetero twits materialize
and mess with the panicked girls, resulting in a wild cat-and-mouse
road trip and literally explosive finale! Oh - and there's some
racy lesbian restroom sex, mom's nagging ghost, and relationship
frictions thrown in for good measure.

Afternoon (2000, 88 min, Spain)
Director: Susan Seidelman, Studio: First Look
Starring: Judy Davis, Marcia Gay Harden, Lili Taylor, Juliette Lewis,
Christopher Bowen, Maria Barranco
REVIEW:
Susan Seidelman's latest film mixes Almodovar with a dash of mystery
and plops it down in the back alleys, boulevards, parks and stylish
apartments of scenic Barcelona. Based on Barbara Wilson's lesbian
detective novel, the film stars Judy Davis as Cassandra Reilly,
an eccentric dyke American ex-pat who translates Spanish novels
for a living. She's struggling with her current project and running
quite low on cash when Frankie (Harden) propositions Reilly to spy
on her ex-husband Ben and daughter for the sum of $3000. Reilly
accepts the proposition but finds out rather quickly that Stevens
has lied to her and nothing is as it seems.

Director:
Monika Treut , Studio: First
Run Features
Starring: Inga Busch, Huan-Ru Ke, Ting Ting Hu, Jana Schulz, Marek
Harloff, Jack Kao, Yi-Ching Lu, Kevin Chen
REVIEW:
Ghosted an ethereal lesbian love story set in Taiwan and Germany,
cleverly utilizes flashbacks to bridge the ocean between between
Eastern and Western cultural beliefs.
In Tawain, ghosts are rarely a laughing matter; in this ancestor-worship
culture where the memories of the living nurture the deceased, there
is a belief that the dead, become ghosts roaming between heaven
and earth. In Ghosted -- an unconventional, meditative love story
directed by veteran German filmmaker Monika Treut -- we are introduced
to Sophie (Ingra Busch), a 40-something renowned German video artist
who has returned to Taipei to open an exhibition dedicated to her
late Taiwanese lover Ai-Ling (Huan-Re Ke). There she meets Mei-Lie
(Ting Ting Hu), a pushy and beautiful journalist who eerily reminds
her of Ai-Ling. Mei-Li's constant questions and flirtatious overtures
are too much too soon and Sophie retreats to Hamburg. When the journalist
mysteriously turns up on her doorstop, Sophie decides to open herself
to new sexual adventures. Her new-found trust is soon shattered
when she discovers that Mei-Li isn't who she claims to be. Suspensful
and complex, this cross-border narrative is a rich addition to Treut's
growing body of work..

(1998, 125 min, US)
Director: Michael Cristofer Studio: HBO

REVIEW:
A mesmerizing, fact-based drama about the tragic life of bisexual
supermodel Gia Carangi, Cristofer's mercurial film boasts a sensational
performance by Jolie in the title role. Gia's rise and fall from
an unruly Philadelphia teenager who becomes a top model to drug
addict and AIDS victim makes for spellbinding viewing. As Gia seeks
love and support from her mother (Ruehl) and her hesitant girlfriend
Linda (Mitchell), she breaks all the rules, and everyone's heart.
Cristofer's approach to the material is never melodramatic; however,
he uses diary snippets and memories from those who knew her to depict
Gia's fast life and untimely death.

Girl Thing (2002, US)
Director: Lee Rose, Studio: Showtime
Starring: Kate Capshaw, Stockard Channing, Rebecca DeMornay, Mia
Farrow, Linda Hamilton, Elle Macpherson, Camryn Manheim, Glenne
Headly, Allison Janney, Peta Wilson, Lynn Whitfield
REVIEW:
A Girl Thing is a Showtime mini series consisting of four separate
stories featuring women dealing with life's unexpected twists and
turns.
The first story features Lauren (Macpherson), an attorney on a double
blind date, finds herself attracted to Casey (Capshaw), an advertising
executive. The unexpected romance helps the women define their own
sexuality. The second story is about three sisters Kim (De Mornay),
Kathy (Janney), and Helen (Headly) learning how to deal with each
other while coping with the death of their controlling mother Josephine
(Franz). As the third story unfolds, these women Nia- the wife (Whitfield),
Betty- the lover (Farrow), and Rachael- the hired private investigator,
plot their revenge to Paul- Nia's cheating husband (Bakula) a taste
of his own medicine. In the final story, Suzanne (Manheim), a seriously
emotionally disturbed patient threatens Dr. Noonan, her assistant
and another patient at gunpoint. As the drama unfolds, find out
what happens when Dr. Noonan terminates their relationship with
a surprising result. With an astounding cast of actresses, A Girl
Thing accurately depicts women's emotions during all aspects of
their lives. The writing and directing are very convincing and the
New York City background heighten the appeal of this mini series.

 Girls
in Prison (1994, 82 min, US)
Director: John McNaughton, Studio: Disney/Dimension
Starring: Anne Heche, Ione Skye, Missy Crider, Bahni Turner, Jon
Polito
REVIEW:
This spirited Showtime spoof of women-behind-bars films should delight
any fan of trash cinema. Set during the "Communist Witch Hunt"
of the 1950s, the film focuses on a trio of gals sent to an L.A.
slammer for diverse reasons: Skye, a lesbian writer, is accused
of being a Commie; Turner gets all medieval on a hate-spewing TV
commentator; and Crider is an aspiring folk singer falsely accused
of stabbing record producer Polito. Since the homespun Crider is
the real innocent, the other women unite to get her off the hook.
With the help of an outside detective, they discover that Heche,
a golddigging harpy, has set up Crider in order to reap the rewards
of her soon-to-be hit record. Based on an AIP film from the 1950s,
Girls in Prison may be the final film credit of tabloid great Sam
Fuller, who penned the script with steamy shower scenes, a host
of hot-to-trot cartoony characters, and hardboiled dialogue.

The first film to earn the MPAA's NC-17 rating, director Kaufman's
steamy adaptation of Anaïs Nin's novel about the passionate
love triangle between herself, writer Henry Miller, and his wife
June is a glorious sexual and literary odyssey through the streets

with Greta (Clarkson), a German actress. Syd’s lesbian urges
are kicked into overdrive as she becomes entranced with the cool,
thin Lucy. Their relationship sparks Lucy’s creative juices
and offers a career opportunity for Syd. The only losers are their

Lessons (2000, 70 min, US)
Director: Barbara Hammer, Studio: First Run Features
REVIEW:
Barbara Hammer's (Nitrate Kisses) latest project is a video &
film collage of images of women that shows just how pervasive lesbian
imagery is in our culture. Piecing together archival newsreel footage
with dramatic recreations, old lesbian porn and classic stills Ms.
Hammer creates a unique crazy quilt of humor, sensuality and beauty.
Sex education and health class instructional films will now be seen
a whole new light after one sees this film. The director has located
headlines from trashy tabloid newspapers including: "Worse
than Lesbians!", "Lesbian Lovers Nabbed in Armed Robbery",
and the best "Prison Made Me A Lesbian". Incorporated
in the film is footage from early lesbian porno movies that are
sexy and fun - who knew these films existed? History Lessons features
an original score that fuses avant-garde electronica with historical
sound clips and humorous original folk songs to forge sounds as
inventive as the marvelous film they accompany.

Director: Stephen Daldry, Paramount/Miramax
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Ed Harris,
Claire Danes, Allison Janney, Toni Collette, Jeff Daniels, John
C. Reilly, Miranda Richardson, Stephen Dillane, Jack Rovello
REVIEW:
Three women, separated by time, class and geographic location, share
the book "Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf. The film opens
with author Woolf in an idyllic Sussex countryside in the early
1920s. Kidman, who won a Best Actress Oscar as Woolf, offers a studied,
controlled exploration of a creative spirit trapped by expectations
of reason and conformity, and the best intentions of those who love
her. Laura Brown (Moore) enjoys the middle-class bliss of suburban
Los Angeles in 1951; yet she seems curiously sad and disassociated,
intimidated to distraction by the task of baking a cake. And in
present-day New York City, Clarissa Vaughan (Streep) is hosting
yet another party; this time for her longtime friend and confidant
Richard (Harris), whose nickname for her is "Mrs. Dalloway."
The Hours delivers a thoughtful contemplation of the inner lives
of three women who reflect each other's reality and the shared reality
of all women.

 The
Hunger (1983, 99 min, GB)

REVIEW:
Catherine Deneuve stars as Miriam, an icy, elegant vampiress, thousands
of years old, who goes on the prowl for a new mate after her 200-year
lover (David Bowie) quickly ages. Her affections find their way
to Sara (Susan Sarandon), a doctor who has written on the subject
of accelerated aging. Dripping with cinematic style and chic sexual
intrigue, “The Hunger” is both a chilling vampire tale
and a sensuous drama of lesbian attraction and desire. The two sensually
flirt, fall into each other's arms, and make love—and, of course,
share blood.

Director:
Shamim Sarif, Studio

REVIEW:
Fresh off last year's successful romantic period piece set in South
Africa (The World Unseen), drop-dead gorgeous Lisa Ray and stunningly
beautiful Sheetal Sheth return as lesbian lovers in the charming
I Can't Think Straight. Tala (Ray) is a black sheep. With her own
business in London and engaged for the fourth time, she is generally
a thorn in th eside of her traditional Jordanian Christian family.
Leyla (Sheth) is the shy, ideal Indian daughter with the perfect
boyfriend who awlays does the right thing. Both women are on conventional
life paths until they meet, when an instant attraction ignites a
fast friendship. One fervent night, sexy Tala and doe-eyed Leyla
act on their desires in a scene that lights up the screen, but the
encounter comes at a price. These are two women yearning to fall
in love for the first time, but it will not be easy for either one
to accept their newfound sexuality. Director Shamim Sarif's contemporary
lesbian storytelling is entertaining, beautiful and incredibly intimate;
it will remind you what falling in love is all about.

HBO
Starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Marian Seldes, Elizabeth Perkins, Paul
Giamatti, Michelle Williams, Chloe Sevigny, Nia Long, Natasha Lyonne,
Amy Carlson, Sharon Stone, Ellen DeGeneres, Kathy Najimy, Mitchell
Anderson
REVIEW:
Vanessa Redgrave won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress for her
performance in the first part of this terrific film. Where the original
“Walls” dealt with three women each struggling with unwanted
pregnancy, the sequel takes a private look at the lives of three
lesbian couples during three different time periods in America:
the ’60s, ’70s, and the new millennium. The common link
is the house of the title: they all occupy it at one time or another.
The year 1961 features Marian Seldes and Vanessa Redgrave as an
older lesbian couple who had been together for fifty years. When
Seldes dies of a stroke, Redgrave is forced to grieve in silence.
As she is not “family” in the traditional sense, Redgrave
is forced to endure the humiliation of Seldes' only family coming
to claim the house and its contents for themselves. The year 1972
confronts peer pressure and sexual identity as Michelle Williams
finds herself attracted to the “butch” Chloe Sevigny,
much to the chagrin of her hippie friends. In the year 2000, the
house is now occupied by lovers Ellen DeGeneres and Sharon Stone.
Deeply in love, the only thing missing from their idyllic life is
a child of their own. Making her directorial debut, Anne Heche conveys
the couple's frustrations and hopes (with sperm donors, adoption
agencies, etc.) in a manner sure to hit close to home for anyone
who has faced the same trials.

Studio: Fox
Cast: Piper Perabo, Lena Headey, Matthew Goode, Celia Imrie, Anthony
Head
Director: Ol Parker
Screenwriter: Ol Parker
A big-screen romantic comedy for women who love women, or least
the men who fantasize about them.
REVIEW:
If you find terms like “vagitarian” and “lesbifriend”
hilarious then you’ll fall in love with this romantic comedy.
Its “love at first sight” for bride-to-be Rachel and flower
arranger Luce as they exchange a momentary glance at Rachel’s
wedding. Without her kindhearted husband Heck knowing, Rachel pursues
her first relationship with a woman. The entire cast is remarkably
likable with standout performances from Matthew Goode in the role
of the self-sacrificing husband and Piper Perabo as the aspiring
lesbian (this is familiar acting territory for Perabo, having previously
starred as half of a lesbian couple in 2001’s Lost and Delirious).
The film is filled with all of the senile seniors, clueless children
and song and dance numbers that are expected from modern romantic
comedies. The character of Luce, the outgoing lesbian, could easily
be replaced by a man with nary a change to the film’s outcome,
but its gay-friendly attitude should be commended nonetheless. Lesbians
now have a big screen, cookie-cutter romance to call their own.

 Inescapable
(2004, 81 min, US)
Studio: Atta Girl Productions
Director: Helen Lesnick
Screenwriter: Helen Lesnick
REVIEW:
From the maker of A Family Affair comes this erotic drama
about two women having an affair. Diverging from the shtick that
made us laugh in her debut A Family Affair, Helen Lesnick has created
a sultry erotic drama about two women having a torrid, secret affair.
Two best friends and ex-lovers, Susan and Beth plan a long-awaited
reunion in Oregon with their current lovers. As the two head off
to work-related seminars, their current girlfriends Jesse and Chloe
try to politely get along and stay out of each other's way but erotic
tensions ignite. The simple task of washing dishes together ignites
a steamy tryst. Taking charge of the situation, Jesse willfully
dives into Chloe's sexy mystique and soon no stitch of clothing
comes between fervent, sweaty bodies. They experience the burning
passion and fierce intimacy they long for, but don't get, with their
existing lovers. As the two continue to meet at a motel every day,
fear and guilt consume their thoughts. Lesnick pushes the envelope
with her camera lens that shows intimate details and goes across
boundaries. Inescapable is the long awaited soft-core lesbian flick
with a plot that we've all been waiting for!

REVIEW:
This high energy, patently offensive musical romp (think “The
Wizard of Oz” meets “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”
as staged by Busby Berkeley) will have you either dancing in the
aisles or running for the exits. In Bumbuck, Arkansas, a dirt-water
town peopled by white Bible-thumping hicks, we find Alice, a sweet
young thing who, in a moment of despair before her shotgun wedding,
kills herself. She reemerges on the Isle of Sapphos—an Amazonian
underworld led by a corpulent queen (Blatz Balinski, a bear-guzzling
bull dyke) who rules over a bevy of gorgeous, scantily clad lesbian
subjects. Alice discovers her sexual wonderland as she embraces
the Sapphic way of life. But the folks back home arrive determined
to take her back to their heterosexual world.
