Narrated by Lily Tomlin and based on Vito Russo's groundbreaking book,The Celluloid Closet is a fascinating and elegant look at human sexuality and identity. Directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman examine the subtext of more than 100 Hollywood movies - including Spartacus, Rope and Thelma and Louise - and chart the cinematic journey of lesbian and gay stereotypes through the first century of the movies.
An epic story by turns suprising, hilarious and disturbing, the Emmy winning The Celluloid Closet makes us see Hollywood images in a whole new light, exploding sexual myths and examining our attitudes about sexuality and sex roles as they evolved through the 20th Century.
"An indispensible addition to the history of Hollywood, with the popular appeal of That's Entertainment"
