--> Gay movies:The third event is a series of films by noted filmmaker, author and gay activist Cui Zi'en. Cui, a professor at the Beijing Film Academy, has written and lectured extensively about the challenges and changes taking place in China's gay, lesbian and transgender community. He was recently awarded a 2002 Felipa award by the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) for his work promoting the acceptance of gay culture and identity within China.[...]
Enter the Clowns, a controversial and intriguing gender-bender of a film set in Beijing, has already played to overseas audiences at the Rotterdam and Los Angeles film festivals. Xiao Bo, the protagonist of the film, performs deathbed fellatio on his dying father but cannot manage to satisfy his girlfriend, Nana. Nana undertakes a promiscuous search for happiness and along the way, meets up with Dong Dong, whose mother has undergone a female to male gender reassignment operation while continuing to live with her second husband, Da Yu.[...]
With their frank depictions of human sexuality and shades of Andy Warhol and John Waters, Cui's films are definitely not for the faint of heart, but viewers interested in experimental film and gay culture within China should find Cui's cinematic oeuvre both illuminating and unflinchingly honest.
--> International Film Festival Rotterdam:'Enter the clowns' unfolds as a succession of episodes, from a disturbing confrontation between a young man and his gender-bending parent, where the young man grants a final sexual request to his dying father (who insists on being called mom), to the Fassbinder-inspired "Nana Changes into a Woman," to a series of sketches involving gay desire. Realism is not for Cui Zi'en, who intertwines long takes, mundane action, and non-professional acting ã la Warhol with a more baroque, whimsical, surreal but also darker inspiration.
Cui Zi'en (who teaches at the Beijing Film Academy) had a large hand in Liu Bingjian's pioneering gay feature Men and Women. Now he inaugurates a new Queer Chinese Cinema with a movie that says: Everything you know about sexual identity and gender orientation is wrong. From the opening chapter, in which the hunky Xiao Bo gets a blow-job from his dying mother (or is it his father?), the movie delights in splashing about in the moral equivalent of sperm. The characters are deliciously variegated. Xiao Bo lives with Nana, but totally fails to satisfy her. Nana flirts with lots of men, hoping to find someone better, but starts to fear that there isn't a man in Beijing to match her. Dongdong is a high-school boy whose mother goes through a female-to-male sex change. This complicates her relationship with Dongdong's stepfather, who still loves her (him) enough to prelude looking for a new girlfriend... Cui first wrote this as a novel, and its structure of interlocking chapters and the sometimes high-flown dialogue may reflect those origins. But its queering of everyday life in Beijing is anything but literary, and its rough indie edges actually intensify its splendidly perverse approach to gender politics. Witty and touching.
This is my rip of it. There is also this recent, now well spread, rip from VeryCD (argh! they were faster than me!), but I can't say anything about quality of that one, or about it having subtitles.
