A clumsy depiction of female bisexuality would normally not be enough to make Showgirls count as queer--but the film's cult classic status is sustained in large part by loyal Queer fans. Watch it, then go see documentary "You Don't Nomi" by Jeffrey McHale.

The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka and the Art of Survival
Opened Jul 17, 2025
Opens Jul 17, 2025

A visually stunning and sweeping feature documentary that traces the life and survival of the renowned bisexual painter through her powerful paintings – from her rise to international stardom in 1920s Paris, to her move to the United States in 1940, fleeing the rise of fascism, and her revival in the current art market. Tamara de Lempicka was the preeminent Art Deco painter, known for her high-gloss sensual nudes and portraits of high society during the Jazz Age. She was marginalized and gained notoriety for her romantic liaisons with her models and her indulgent, decadent lifestyle, but she was so much more.
