Picks up where The Celluloid Closet left off! The superstars of gay and lesbian cinema shine in this amazing overview of LGBT film history. Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema is packed with smart interviews and a tremendous array of film clips from the greatest movies of the genre celebrating more than half a century of queer independent filmmaking from Kenneth Anger's pioneering, Fireworks (1947) to the smash hit blockbuster Brokeback Mountain. Starring John Waters, Wilson Cruz, Guinevere Turner, Peter Paige, B. Ruby Rich, Gus Van Sant, Alan Cumming, the list goes on. .com Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema is constructed with interview snippets featuring a wide array of actors, directors, and festival organizers, to portray our last century's history of same-sex films. Dealing mostly with American film, minus acknowledgment of a couple European directors such as Chantal Ackerman, Fabulous! tells the story, by citing filmic examples from each decade, of post-war repression in the '40s and '50s, the gay civil rights struggle of the '60s and '70s, AIDS in the '80s and '90s, and the blossoming of new gender genres in a contemporary setting. With timelines to contextualize conversation, Fabulous! leads the viewer through discussions of Kenneth Anger's seminal 1947 work, Fireworks, to Warhol, through Derek Jarman, John Waters, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show, all the way into Brokeback Mountain's current success. Interviews with independent film icons such as Todd Haynes, Gus Van Sant, John Waters, critic B. Ruby Rich, and Outfest's Stephen Gutwillig, make this an enjoyable journey through the minds of Hollywood's auteurs. More actual film footage of some difficult-to-see underground pieces would be nice, but clearly this documentary is an introduction to the history of transgressive cinema, meant to urge people to investigate further. --Trinie Dalton ## Images ![Fabulous!

The infamous Hayes Code prohibited the representation of gay characters starting in the 1930s, so there's a fairly large blank spot in that history, but this program recognizes the contributions of non-commercial indies like Kenneth Anger, and the whole thing picks up speed in the 1970s with some of the very first truely 'indie' productions. Entertainingly presented, with talking head input from a wealth of GLBT film makers and a lot of clips, this is at least a good solid beginning to understanding where "queer cinema" has come from and where it's headed. Very worthwhile! ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Talking heads with some clips *by A***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 21, 2013* Lots of talking heads telling you about the new queer cinema. B. Ruby Rich expounding on everything. Some stars thrown in, too. A great item for Queer Studies classes, but I don't know if the average audience will be as "fabulously" entertained. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Documentary On Queer Cinema *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 14, 2012* I had wanted to purchase this for some time. It is well produced and interesting. From my point of view it seems to focus more on the lesbian angle regarding queer cinema than other documentaries that I own. It was well worth buying and was a welcome addition to my queer cinema documentary library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/71925991-fabulous-the-story-of-queer-cinema-dvd](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/71925991-fabulous-the-story-of-queer-cinema-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-12*
