An Inside Look
A chronicle of New York’s drag scene in the 1980s, focusing on balls, voguing and the ambitions and dreams of those who gave the era its warmth and vitality.My first impression while watching this is how it must have influenced both Madonna and “To Wong Foo”. I am not completely sure on the latter, but the former seems to have been confirmed.
I am impressed with how the culture of the gay community, or more specifically the drag community, is captured here. This is a very sincere, very honest look. And it is especially interesting because the vast majority of these drag queens are black or Hispanic. As the film says in the beginning, that is multiple strikes. (Traditionally, the black community is even harder on the gay community than whites are, so being black and gay is a treacherous life.)
