CONTENT WARNING:
A stylish and thoughtful examination of the infamous Continental Baths NYC circa 1968-1976. Told by the people who were there.
This film is presented in English with English subtitles.
Malcolm Ingram (SMALL TOWN GAY BAR) returns with a new documentary that takes viewers back to sexually‐charged NYC 1968, when the notorious Continental Baths opened its doors. This groundbreaking den of debauchery transcended sexuality and became a beacon to the hip, beautiful and infamous. The Continental brought high and low culture to its cabaret stage weekly, becoming instrumental in the careers of icons like Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, LaBelle and many others. The film tells the tale of a keystone in the sexual revolution that contributed to a level of mainstream gay acceptance and sexual freedoms the likes of which has never been seen since.

Twelve years after her explosive debut, Baise‐moi, Virginie Despentes is back with the decidedly lighter tale of two middle‐aged women struggling to rekindle their teen‐aged romance after three decades. 40‐ year‐old Gloria (Béatrice Dalle) is still a volatile, art‐punk drifter in the north‐eastern city of Nancy. Frances (Emmanuelle Béart) has settled into a comfortably bourgeois life of marriage (to a gay man) and a career in television. With trouble brewing at work and a husband struggling with writer’s block, however, Frances impetuously summons Gloria to stay with her in Paris, searching for the magic she felt as a rebellious, love‐struck teenager. Youth’s poignant intensity versus middle‐aged nostalgia are evoked in alternating scenes from Gloria and Frances’ young love circa 1984, and the present. With passionate performances by Soko and Clara Ponsot (who play the young Gloria and Frances), a Lydia Lunch cameo and a kickass soundtrack (Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bérurier Noir), this is a film for anybody who has ever wondered about the possibility – or wisdom – of trying to recapture their first big love."
A love story of two women who meet up in their late forties and attempt to retrieve the romance they had in their youth.
