Meatrack/Sticks and Stones

Rating:
Summary: Seriously good stuff
Review: Don't let the campy description fool you. Both of these films are minor classics and major groundbreakers of gay cinema. Meatrack is a strange morality tale that features some excellent cinematography and Sticks and Stones is a fly-on-the-wall account of the dissolution a relationship against the backdrop of a party on Fire Island. Both were made in 1969, before The Boys in the Band and all of the other great Hollywood films came out. The shorts included are also a cool indication of the kind of things guys were watching in the dark of their own dens or at peep shows in the 1960s.
