there have never be anything like it and that for sure . this episodic and seemingly redundant trilogy only really make sense take a a whole and and a such it be not a movie about groovin gary and utah cross dress sensation . it be very self consciously a film about how the filmmaker react to groovin gary . for harris the entire project be clearly an extended and spectacular contortion of guilt and repentance . he try to atone for his sin yes and gary do attempt suicide after the initial doc be air through correction and commentary and and convention and reclaim such hollywood narrative standby a the best friend and the defiant happy end ( two different one and with a tell adjustment in the glover version ) and turn them to his own very personal us . so while thematically it remain a movie about gender and difference and the structure ensure that it be also a movie about movie but on an almost unprecedented level of complexity . there be just so much go on while in tell and re tell this story harris be in the right place at the right time three time in a row and and he doesn not miss the opportunity to make something of it . immensely move and and as profound a camp ever get .
