ACTING GAY
Today's gay film was the French comedy
Le placard / The Closet (2000)
in which the main character, Daniel Auteuil, about to be fired, comes up with a modern solution. Claim to be gay and thus be protected by discrimination policies. This solution is powered further by the fact that the company makes condoms.
This is a farce that basically mocks corporate hypocrisy. There are lots of funny gags, none at the expense of gay people but lots at the expense of closet homophobes. Gerard Depardieu in a rare comic turn as a fag basher.
There is a lot more. I put it in here because it is very funny. It was in my queue for a later Auteuil fest.
It is nice to see straight people be amazed at the lengths the haters will go to stop "the gays" from taking over the world.
I have seen this once and now I saw it again. I will give it the same 4 out of Netflix5.
