Previewing the Queer Takes film festival with curator Dean Otto

"XXY (Friday, June 27, 7 p.m.) tells the (fictional but representative)
story of a 15-year-old girl who is an intersex person—that is, one
among the 1.7% of the population born with both male and female
genitalia. The film is sensitive and moving, says Otto. "This film
blew me away!"

This was featured at Frameline 32, SF's LGBT film festival.  I didn't catch it but tonight I'm going to Ruby Blue at the Castro.  The film involves a retired man who falls for his neighbor, unaware of her transsexuality.  I'll let you all know.  Stars Bob Hoskins.

Edge of Heaven was great.  I saw it Tuesday night.  It's a lesbian love story but much, much more.

Oh come on, a love story is a love story.  There are, after all, only five movie plots just recycled forever.
