Campion's direction is dangerously erotic, while Benedict Cumberbatch gives one of his all-time great performances as a man so uncomfortable in his own skin he inflicts his pain upon others. He is similarly inclined to do that to her son, Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee), who arrives at the ranch on summer holiday from college studies, but instead decides to take him under his wing, figuring he can mold him into the kind of man he thinks is worth being. He worships a rider named Bronco Henry and calls his softer brother George (Jesse Plemons) "fatso." When George marries a widowed innkeeper (Kirsten Dunst), Phil makes it his mission to mentally torture her. Benedict Cumberbatch plays Phil Burbank, a rancher who prides himself on the dirt under his fingernails and his ability to live with as few amenities as possible. The story of Britain's Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners group reminds us that Pride Month is not just a celebration, but a protest.The Piano director Jane Campion's return to feature filmmaking after more than a decade away is an absolute triumph, a chilling exploration of a man driven to cruelty by the pursuit of a masculine ideal in the American West. In a world where some are trying to split the "T" from the "LGB," and where homophobic legislation is back on the book across the U.S., Pride's messages of solidarity and the need to speak out are more poignant than ever in 2022. It may lack the explicit sexuality of some other films on this list, but it makes up for it in sheer homoerotic intensity. While it lost in the Best Picture category to Coda at the Oscars this year, The Power of the Dog will have the lasting cultural legacy.

Paris is Burning's influences are everywhere in culture, to the extent that many forget where we first learned about voguing and "throwing shade." Change that by watching the movie this Pride Month. It tells the story of underground ball culture in the late '80s, and how its (mostly) Black and Latinx gay and trans participants try to survive in a racist and homophobic society. Not only a foundational LGBTQ+ film, but Paris is Burning is one of the best documentaries ever made. Without this story of two women falling in love in the rural Nevada of the 1950s, the history of lesbian cinema may have gone very differently. Desert Hearts (HBO Max)Ī genuine trailblazer, Desert Hearts was the first major film with a positive lesbian relationship at its core to get a wide release in America. Starring Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon as two women who become sexually tied together as they plot a theft, Bound is one of the most erotically-charged lesbian films of the 1990s. Bound (Paramount+)ĭirected by leading trans directors the Wachowskis, Bound was the first sign that these were auteurs to watch before they made The Matrix. With good queer relationship advice hard to find in this post-" Don't Say Gay" moment, there is a lot to empathize with in this story of a bisexual woman in Brooklyn left reeling after breaking up with her long-term girlfriend. The bisexual canon is a fairly small one, but Desiree Akhavan's 2014 indie hit was an instant addition.
