Gear design lost saga11/8/2022 While not a brilliant film in and of itself – in my personal opinion – it is definitely worth watching. This is one of the first queer films I watched and it definitely left its mark. Written and directed by: Pawel Pawlikoski Starring: Emily Blunt & Natalie Press There’s also a great cameo from Anthony Stewart Head, who played Giles in Buffy! It’s a typical romcom, but it happens to be about two women, and that is what I love most – it makes me feel like I’m watching a ‘normal’ film, not a ‘gay film’ (although I love films which are out and proud queer), but this sense of casualness normalises the queerness, and makes it more accessible to straight viewers. In addition, the supporting characters are very well written and loveable – this is the only girl-leaves-guy-for-girl film I’ve ever watched where I’ve genuinely liked the guy involved, which is truly saying something. I will proudly state that Imagine Me & You is in my top ten favourite films of all time. It’s funny, it’s heartfelt, it doesn’t confine the characters to stereotypes and it makes you happy. Written and directed by: Ol Parker Starring: Lena Heady & Piper Perabo Note: To make this post consistent and easier to find the films, the majority of the titles are listed in English (going by the films’ IMDb page) although many of the original titles may be in a different language and many have alternate release titles for different countries. As I found so many films I decided to split this list into two posts, with 11 countries included in this post and the last 10 in a post to come in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for that. Needless to say, I’ll have missed some countries and some films so do let me know any reccomendations I can add to my list! In general, I’ve limited myself to a maximum of four films per country (though a lot of countries I could only find one or two), however for some countries I’ve added a few extra suggestions of films I either haven’t personally seen, or didn’t particularly enjoy, but I wanted to provide the biggest range of films possible. While I’ve tried to feature as many countries as possible in these posts (determining their country via IMDb) however of course some countries have far more films in this category than others. women too), and this list alone includes over 70, so I like to think I’m qualified to compile this list! In trying to find as many films from as many countries as possible, there’s a real range included in this list – from cinematic masterpieces to breezy romcoms and trope-heavy dramas – but hopefully from the brief descriptions you can pick and choose for yourself. I say ‘queer’ instead of ‘lesbian’ as I want to include bisexual, pansexual, asexual etc. I’ve seen over 300 films about queer women (n.b. For almost two years I’ve been building up mini reviews of every film I’ve ever seen that prominantly features queer women – but for Pride month 2017 I wanted to focus specifically on worldwide representations of LGBTQA+ women.
