Hi guys, do you know any shows with relevant lesbian or bisexual characters that are either really good, or just older than 10 years… (The show, not the characters) Alternately, just some shows which are a little more LGBT focused than the “Standart”?
When I was a teenager (early 2010s era) I was so desesperate to find some lesbian representation and visibility, and then I watched a lot of lesbian movies. Here are some movies I watched back then :
TIPPING THE VELVET - Sarah Waters (2002)
The movie that every lesbian was watching at the beginning of our century. Sarah Waters also made FINGERSMITH , which is the movie that inspired “the Handmaiden”.
BOUND - The Wachowski sisters (1996)
A wonderful mafia lesbian movie.
SAVING FACE - Alice Wu (2004)
Lesbian and POC representation ! yay !
BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER - Jamie Babbit (1999)
A comedy about conversion therapy. Yes.
THE WATERMELON WOMAN - Cheryl Dunye (1996)
This one was on my watching list, but I didn’t found a cracked version back then. It’s lesbian & Black representation, that must be awesome to watch.
ROOM IN ROME - Julio Medem (2013)
A movie about a casual lesbian sex story : how a powerful relationship can emerge from one night stands… That was interesting but I think I was too young to fully appreciate this kind of subject.
GIGOLA - Laure Charpentier (2011)
A movie about lesbian sex work in the early 20th century Paris.
CIRCUMSTANCE - Maryam Keshavarz (2011)
Keshavarz also made the recent queer movie “The Persian version”. Both are great.
I hope that could help you :)
(and also, hello everybody, this is my first post !)
