5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide and more....., 22 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This is a superb reference guide for all lesbians who are into film and wish to see how we have been portrayed on the silver screen throughout the ages. In addition to the synopsis of the film itself you also get information on the level of lesbianism contained in the film, ie. if it's a major part or merely hinted at, and constructive criticism as to how the subject matter was handled. How the author managed to check out all the films included is a miracle since many of them are obsure to say the least, but she has and we can all now enjoy the fruits of her labour.
There are a number of notable exclusions but these tend to be films made in the late 1990's and since you must have a cut-off point somewhere they have probably not made the deadline. Perhaps part two is in the making......I look forward to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fabulous, 8 Nov 2000
By A Customer
At last the lesbian film guide we've all been waiting for. There have been other attempts (mainly American) in the past which have basically been pants!

This is a witty and indepth look at lesbians in film and covers every possible film imaginable. Alison Darren has obviously done her homework and watched all the films but it is her personal wit and opinion that makes the book worth reading and referring to again and again.

I was particularly pleased that she mentioned one of my favourite films "The Legend of Lylah Clare" a forgotten classic which is rarely shown on tv these days but not forgotten in my memory.

I would recommend this book highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, informative and delightfully witty!, 13 May 2000
By A Customer
This book is a real step forward for lesbians because it is the only film guide devoted entirely to lesbian films (as far as I know). The cross-referencing is really illuminating! Photographs were well chosen, and were accompanied by some hilarious captions. I didn't agree with all the reviews, but they are great fun to read. There were so many films that I hadn't previously heard of, and which I shall now try to track down (or avoid like the plague) having read the reviews. The author had made a point of only including films that can reasonably be found in the UK, so I am looking forward to my forthcoming cinematic adventures! You don't need to be a film buff to enjoy this book. It's a very entertaining read in its own right.
