Now You See It: Studies in Lesbian and Gay Film, First Edition Routledge Richard Dyer, University of Warwick Paperback © 1990 ISBN: 0-415-03556 Publication Status: In Print Readership: Students and lecturers in film studies, gay studies and cultural studies There have been hundreds of films with homosexual characters, many revealing hemophobic prejudices. Yet while hundreds of lesbians and gay men have worked before and behind the camera, relatively few films have been made by lesbians and gay men that actually explore the problems, pressures, and pleasures of lesbian and gay life. Now You See It is about some of them. In part it provides a record of these films up to 1980, putting familiar titles such as Girls in Uniform, Un chant d'amour and Word Is Out in their lesbian/gay context and bringing to light many other forgotten but remarkable films. Each film discussed is categorised and each type is examined in detail in relation to both film tradition and the sexual sub-cultures within which they were made. Published in English , First Published in the EU November 1990 Size: 352 pages, Dimensions: 216x138mm 5.5x8.5 inches
