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

Iconic.

such a beautiful documentary depicting queer life in the 1980s, especially transgender life. it’s beautiful seeing the communities created in the harshness of the world and the families that became. it’s a heart wrenching film, but such a beautiful story.

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 !!

watched this right before watching pose and i highly recommend that. brilliant documentary so sick

6/10
