I left thrilled by its emotional power. It was a story that classic director Frank Capra would have told if he had a script about an ideal Montana town trying to play matchmaker to two men... The film is so charming and hopeful that it has stayed with me all these years.
Alice Wu's Saving Face tells the story of a widow (Joan Chen) who is very proud of her surgeon daughter (Michelle Krusiec) and attempts over and over to set her up with various young men... This is actually a rom com, a delicate and delightful romance.
A perfect Pride film is a compelling, exciting documentary, The Celluloid Closet... We get excellent background and examples by Tony Curtis, Armistead Maupin, Susie Bright, Whoopi Goldberg, and Gore Vidal, with strong narration by Lily Tomlin.
