HEARTTHROBS ❤️
THIS FEBRUARY: Let’s hear it for the boys! We are taking a trip back to 1950s Hollywood with five case studies of male movie stardom. James Dean. Montgomery Clift. Rock Hudson. Cary Grant. Marlon Brando. With devastating good looks and singular screen personas, these matinée idols all represented distinct versions of the leading man. From a contemporary viewing, their confirmed or presumed queerness adds a new profundity to their performances. The Paradise Presents … HEARTTHROBS. Five romantic melodramas. Five screen icons. Five case studies of queer Hollywood.
Programming by Lucy Walker
