Paris Is Burning

Will never not think about the body in the suitcase that was in the closet the whole time they were interviewing Miss Dorian

I watched this after attending the Renaissance World Tour… what a fucking film. It really shows you how far drag and the ballroom scene has come, where it started, the journey, the hardships, and how the battle is still going on. Absolute excellence.

This documentary was so beautiful. It really shows the depth & roots of ballroom and being queer in ny and does it flawlessly. Everything about this documentary was so powerful and so touching. It’s like I was there and I knew everybody in the film. Truly amazing. 10/10

Such and important insight and small sliver of queer culture at a time where they were relegated and cast off. You see how bright of stars there were and how they created community and culture that now we're able to see the impact on the mainstream they created.

incredible. venus will always be THAT GIRL!!!

a beautiful documentation of the generation lost to the HIV pandemic - I had to pause throughout the film to take some breaks for emotional and mental digestion. viva viva fabulosa !! long love the queens !!
