HIS-TORY

Today's movie was the documentary

Wrangler: Anatomy of an Icon (2008)

This is the film I ordered when Wrangler died a short while ago.

It is a great piece of work. I highly recommend it if you are gay and if you are not.

It is about a tiny but important period in gay history and a man who, in an odd way, was pivotal in the emancipation. I already wrote about this.

You can find it on April 7th entries.

We were surprised at how good the film is. It not only captures his life but uses clips from his films as sort of pictures of his own experience of coming out and being such a powerful force.

He tells his own story. And he is a funny, humble man.

First class.

I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5 because I would love to see it (and him) again.
