The first volume in the Queer Film Classics series to spotlight a work by and about a bisexual woman of colour, this book explores Appropriate Behavior as an instant classic of US indie filmmaking in the 2010s, as a radical reappropriation of straight and gay film genres, as an artist’s coming-of-age story, and as a model for feminist-queer creative collaboration. Less than a decade old, Appropriate Behavior captures an urban queer community imperilled by gentrification and homonormativity and serves as exemplar of an innovative wave of independent cinema not yet subsumed by the streaming economy. Maria San Filippo explores how filmmaker and film render a singular voice and story that queers not only its celebrated romcom predecessors but also the gay coming-out film and the lesbian romance alike. The book concludes with an interview with Akhavan.San Filippo pays special tribute to Akhavan’s audacious sensibility and the “inbetweener” moxie that makes Appropriate Behavior an unparalleled portrayal of bisexuality.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CAItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Maria San FilippoGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Queer Film ClassicsTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, LGBTQ+, Films & TVRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
