Very intense poetic doc about gays, focus on black men
7 February 2023
If you like Paris is Burning, you'll enjoy this movie.

If you don't like poetry, (as I certainly don't), please go into this loving Paris is Burning, and respect the efforts of historical, underground, artistic gay documentation.

I skipped the first 5-10 minutes because the chanting/rhythmic hymns got disorienting and annoying. There's another musical segment near the 0.75 mark of the movie that was skipped over.

Regardless, this film was VERY special to watch at first viewing. Humorous, descriptive, thoughtful wordplay and poetry, really, really exceptional, beautiful prose.

Willi Ninja dances in this movie too!!
