Just in time for Succession‘s end, let’s look at method acting.

Pride Month offers “Masc,” a consideration of “trans men, butch lesbians, and gender-nonconforming heroes” onscreen; the Michael Koresky-curated Queersighted returning with a study of the gay best friend; and the 20-film “LGBTQ+ Favorites.” Louis Garrel’s delightful The Innocent (about which I talked to him here), the director’s cut of Gregg Araki’s The Doom Generation, and Stanley Kwan’s hugely underseen Lan Yu make streaming premieres, while Araki’s Totally F***ed Up and Mysterious Skin also get a run.

Lesbian desire, of course, but also the desire for belonging, for serendipity, for freer and lighter relations, for a never-ending past and those who inhabit it, and for a more welcoming future in which we hope not only to be, but to be with. It is also, as it could not be otherwise, a film about my own personal desires. I knew I had a lot to say about lesbian figuration in Brazilian cinema, but as hard as I tried, I couldn't express it in words alone. I needed images that would help me invite people to feel what I felt (or as close to it as possible). That's why I decided...
