The Secrets

When it comes to dating, I have one rule.  No girls with curly-haired Jew fros.  I have one and I can’t handle the narcissism involved.  But I do have a thing for Jewish girls.  I don’t know what it is.  Maybe it was the Jewish summer camp I worked at?   (I had crushes on the counselors) This analogy might help.  I am to Judaism, as BUGs (bi-sexual until graduation) are to Lesbianism. I’m a halfy.  Kind of.  Half of my family is Jewish, but I didn’t grow up Jewish.  Really, I’m just an American mut that grew up with a curly-haired Jew fro and an attitude.

If you have a thing for Jewish girls too, check out this new Israeli/French film The Secrets, directed by Avi Nesher and written by Hadar Galron.  It has an out of this world (my goy American world) story and gets my vote for best “coming of age” lesbian sex scene.  I have a crush on the Anouk character - a French actress named Fanny Ardant.

While I was unpacking from sunny Las Vegas and settling into the chilly bone winter-I mean spring/early summer of San Francisco, I was too busy trying to get the Lesbian pool party pictures off my now defunct digital camera to realize I missed the one movie I was planning on attending on a date with myself. Lesbian coming of age dramas are my favorite genre and this film Water Lilies, by new French feature director Céline Sciamma looks really wet and really good.

Check out the trailer, we have synchronized swimming, sultry locker room situations, groups of girls, groups of boys, water and flesh. It looks like the perfect date movie. Innocent yet packed with subtle drama and sexuality. I’m sure this will get a theatrical release and all that - so keep an eye out for it, meanwhile I’ll continue trying to get the lesbian pool party photos off of my camera.

last_mistress.jpg This week my posts are dedicated to the French. Today to Catherine Breillat’s new film The Last Mistress, the opening night film of the San Francisco International Film Festival. According to the festival write up, “The film continues Breillat’s candid exploration of female sexuality in a smartly crafted period drama starring the alluring vulpine Asia Argento.” Did you say female sexuality? Hmmm. Not explicitly a queer film, although the story is based on the controversial novel by 19th century author and dandy Jules-Amedee Barbey d’Aurevilly. If your a lesbian like me, any exploration of female sexuality is worth a good hour and a half of my time. And there’s something about period films that brings a special innocence and excitement to “exploring sexuality.” The film is playing tonight in San Francisco so look for it hitting an art house theatre near you this coming year.To check out the trailer click here.Btw. Asia Argento.
