Abstract
Wild Side takes up the sexual dynamics of the current climate of social authoritarianism instigated by Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, whose continuing hard-line policy on immigration and sex work has airbrushed the extremism of Le Pen into a package of reforms pleasing to much middle-class France. Situating Lifshitz in the evolving genre of French Queer Cinema, I argue that Wild Side points to precarious material lives for those excluded from neo-liberal hegemony—immigrants, sex workers and transgender communities.
