Queda mucho por ver. El sexo gay en la pantalla

Abstract

Gay sex has been consistently hidden, censored and manipulated throughout the history of cinema. Rarely dealt with in mainstream cinema, it has nevertheless existed on the fringes of film consumption (art films, indies), reaching only small pockets of spectators. This essay aims to synthesize the presentation of gay sex in the film screen, dwelling first on both the spaces it is associated with and the movies that have attempted to show it, and then looking at several recent films (Weekend, Stranger by the Lake) that adopt different strategies to make it finally visible.
