The Celluloid Closet
Homosexuality in the Movies
Book • 1981
Written by Vito Russo, 'The Celluloid Closet' is a landmark work that examines the images of homosexuality and gender variance in Hollywood films.
The book chronicles the history of how gay people have been erased or demonized in movies, reflecting and perpetuating homophobic stereotypes in American culture.
The revised edition, published in 1987, includes information on new wave independent and gay-produced films such as 'The Times of Harvey Milk' and 'Desert Hearts'.
This work serves as an essential reference for understanding the portrayal of LGBT people in cinema and its impact on societal attitudes.
