For many years, lesbian and gay representation in British cinema
escaped the attention of critics and historians. Informative and
entertaining, Brief Encounters examines performers, directors and a
wide range of films to reveal a cinema more varied, vital and
sensuous than we could have imagined. Through a close reading of
mid-twentieth century British films, Bourne explores a range of
lesbian and gay screen images from movies including Soldiers of the
King, Pygmalion, In Which We Serve, Brief Encounter, Black
Narcissus, The Red Shoes and A Hard Day's Night. In addition, he
looks in detail at the ground-breaking Victim and brings together
the moving reminiscences of gay men who first saw the film in the
hostile climate of 1961, and the reactions of contemporary critics.
This fluent chronology of over 150 famous, half-remembered and
forgotten films is a testament to the contribution of gays and
lesbian to British cinema culture.
