Well, here’s a short overview of personal favorites within gay cinema of the 2010’s, followed by some anticipated LGBT-themed films in 2016. A Single Man, the Tom Ford drama based on the Christopher Isherwood novel of the same name, stars Colin Firth as George Falconer, a gay British university professor living in Los.

What surprised me even more was that it didn’t stir up any controversy when it was first shown at the Cannes festival last year. The story of a forbidden and secretive relationship between two cowboys and their lives over the years. L’inconnu du Lac received much critical acclaim ( also by other The Filmtransition staff members), which surprised me, to say the least: it’s likely one the most overrated (rest of and dull films I have seen in a while. When French gay thriller L’inconnu du Lac was released in Dutch cinemas it made me come up with a list of the best LGBT films I’ve seen this decade.

The Boys in the Band (2020) Joe Mantello and Ryan Murphy ‘s screen adaptation of a smash revival of a landmark play centers on a gathering of gay men in 1968 NYC. Defining movies as ‘LGBT’ or ‘gay-themed’ is in fact a bit stupid, as it has nothing to do with a genre at all.
