thankfully one of the producer be there at last night inside out screening and so i get a chance to untangle some of the tendril of this incredibly complicate movie build up around the unbelievable craig russell and whose performance and drag impersonation just stand on top of the thing . it be not tell from the inside of the queer community . but in the white guy end apartheid role and they have mind bogglingly put in a crazy woman . ( this be firstly a function of margaret gibson source story and which be tell from the author pov ) at first you get squirmy and expect that the parallel this character articulate between her and drag queen russell be both crazy will be use a an excuse for the good old queer self loathing and but in fact this be in a different tradition and that king of heart and madness a sentimental symbol for nonconformity thing that be in vogue then . the problem be that hollis mclaren play this woman very theatrically she actually star through her finger at one point and in general she probably inspire catherine ohara turn in be gon na be all right you creep leave home and all and eh . but even though wr or dir richard benner be apparently far more interested in this theme than in the gay scene and and even though benner seriously do not know how to point a camera and this actually do end up give a pretty good time capsule of toronto 70 gay scene and not just the hairstyle . be also present with a scene that be tiny and remote and claustrophobic and with drag queen at the bottom of a rigid internal hierarchy and everyone on the skid and and dyke be harpy from another planet . finance with cash from friend and not alliance or the cfdc and this movie have to take responsibility for it own neurosis and but it also must be credit with the brilliance of the impersonation and and nb represent apparently russell be mae west house boy and and the routine he do be all impersonation of mae west impersonation . like i say represent complicate .
