5.0 out of 5 stars Your best buy this year....., April 12, 2002

This review is from: Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories Of Lesbian Lives [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a wonderful, insightful, creative documentary that is without equal. It's a must see for all young lesbians! And anyone interested in 'The love that dare not speak it's name'.

Comprised of a series of interviews with lesbians who came out in the 50's and 60's, linked together by a 'dime store novel' style drama that ends the right way. The women interviewed speak with candour, humour and sometimes sadness about their lives in a world that could barely tolerate the independent woman let alone lesbians. Buy it you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great reference to the butch-femme community of the 1950's, April 16, 1999

This review is from: Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories Of Lesbian Lives [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video refers historically to the well-documented butch-femme community that was organized during the 1950's. There is a lovely story within the story that is based on the pulp fiction genre. It encompasses an era when the roles in the lesbian community were more clearly defined. This film is heroic, funny, and celebratory. A must see!

This review is from: Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories Of Lesbian Lives [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This film gives you insight in the lives of the gay women in Canada. I really had to laugh. For all of you out of the closet, if you've seen this film you realise what has changed!
