Synopsis

This documentary shows clips from Rock Hudson’s movies that could be interpreted as gay innuendos. Eric Farr speaks to the camera as if speaking Rock Hudson’s words from a posthumous diary. Film clips from more than 30 films illustrate ways in which his sexual orientation played out on screen.

Our take

How did gay men go about cruising in the Hollywood movies of the 1950s? By revisiting excerpts from Rock Hudson’s films, this question and many more are answered in an endeavour to reappropriate the homosexual gaze within a heteronormative industry. An essayistic film both playful and relevant.
