This is a celebration and exploration of gay and lesbian films and filmmakers. "Independent Queer Cinema" collects 100 of film critic Kramer's reviews and interviews that celebrate the latest "queer wave" of actors, writers and directors. These are films and filmmakers to be discovered and discussed - from the independent American hit, "Kissing Jessica Stein" and the provocative foreign gem "Come Undone", to tantalising insights from Stephen Fry and Tilda Swinton. "Independent Queer Cinema" is a valuable reference guide as well as an entertaining compilation of Kramer's astute reviews and interviews. There's no shortage of great gay and lesbian films.
