Description
"It's not natural, is it? A girl at her age being into Mama Cass." We watched the 1996 British film Beautiful Thing with Jesse Krempel from Cult Cinema Circle. As one of the most beloved "gay" movies from the 1990s, Beautiful Thing always feels a little more special than a traditonal "coming out" story. Set around a tower block South-London apartment building we follow Jamie (Glen Berry) and his neighbor Ste (Scott Neal) as they navigate their budding sexuality, and feelings for each other. We love this sweet movie (filled with the hits of Cass Elliot), as well as its supporting cast of characters. First there Jamie's mum Sandra (played with a spit-fire panache by Linda Henry), and her hot hippy boyfriend Tony (Ben Daniels). And we can't forget Tameka Empson scene stealing performance as Leah! We talk about first gay bar adventures, sneaking looks at gay magazines at newstands, and why this movie rises above most mediocre coming-of-age gay movies that would follow it.
