Every Stromae’s songs.
It’s always funny to see non-french-speaking people being so hyped by Stromae’s songs, like they think it’s joyful af and all… While his songs lyrics are litterally about :

• a man who drinks and dances a lot in order to forget his shitty life ( Alors on danse )
• a song about his father who was killed during Rwanda’s genocide ( Papaoutai )
• other songs about suicide, cancer, breakups, addictions, depression etc… But always with an upbeat melody !

You’re welcome!

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 :)
