The Doll
So fun.
Sumurun
This film is like no other film I have ever seen. Employing dance, gesture, costume. acting, lighting and story of such a high caliber that I was left in awe...
I Don’t Want to Be a Man
Excellent early German gender-bender which should be of contemporary LGBT interest by Ernst Lubitsch, master of comedy of manners. Like "Anders Als Die Andern" also made in Germany in 1919...
I Don’t Want to Be a Man
This is probably classified as a short, but it's long enough at 45 minutes to be regarded as a feature film, one of the earliest by Ernst Lubitsch, whose famous...
