Product Description

THE LESBIAN ROMANCE COLLECTION

BUTTERFLY KISS
A Film by Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People)
Eunice (Amanda Plummer), an unpredictable social outcast, one day meets Miriam (Saskia Reeves), a beautiful yet withdrawn gas station attendant, and before long the two are on the road and in love. Even when Eunice starts murdering horny truckers and pesky salesmen, Miriam believes she can save Eunice. The question is, can Miriam make Eunice good before Eunice makes Miriam bad?

"An icily comic powerhouse film!" -Cosmopolitan
"A taut work of rigor and complexity, laced with flashes of pitch-dark humor!" -Los Angeles Times

PEACH, A BITTER SONG & LAVENDER LIMELIGHT
Starring Lucy Lawless
Featuring the Amazonian star of Xena: Warrior Princess as you've never seen her before, Peach stars Lucy Lawless as a sexy tow truck driver attracted to a young Maori woman. In A Bitter Song (Lucy's first film role!), she plays a kind nurse who helps a troubled young girl. These two short films helped introduce Lucy to the world before she became Xena.

"Startlingly intimate - just looking at her will make you mop your brow!" -NY Press

The DVD also includes the hour-long documentary Lavender Limelight: Lesbians in Film, which goes behind the scenes with candid interviews of America's most successful lesbian directors.

THE WATERMELON WOMAN
A Film by Cheryl Dunye
Cheryl Dunye's debut feature is as controversial as it is sexy and funny. Dunye's character (Cheryl) is a twenty-something black lesbian working as a clerk in a video store while struggling to make a documentary about Fae Richards, an obscure black actress from the 1930's. Cheryl is surprised to discover that Richards (known popularly as "the Watermelon Woman") had a white lesbian lover. At the same time, Cheryl falls in love with a very cute white customer at the video store (Guinevere Turner from Go Fish).

Such are the complexities of race and sex in this startlingly fresh debut, which has been attacked by conservative Congressmen for having been funded by the NEA and lavishly praised in the editorial pages for being charming and courageous.

"Dazzling! Imagine Woody Allen refashioned as an African American lesbian." - New York Press

1.0 out of 5 stars just awful, September 4, 2005
It promises romance but there isn't any in the three expensive dvds you get in this collection. One is a short ridiculous sci fi, the first film featuring Lucy "Xena", australian, with just a short kiss beetween two women, no plot at all. The others looked like experimental short films from the seventies, with very bad actors and actresses, no story lines, shaky cameras and no edition. Spare yourself and be sure to miss these!

4.0 out of 5 stars The other person who wrote above me is ignorant, July 27, 2007
Granted, I cannot comment on the two movies that are not the Watermelon Woman, but I felt the need to at least defend this movie b/c it is not "a shaky camera film from the seventies with no plot." The Watermelon Woman is groundbreaking and I needed to say that to those of us who might be considering purchasing this set and had to read the above review. I wish that I could comment on the others, and am actually driven to rent them based on the fact that the original commenter has no appreciation for such art and heart as the Watermelon Woman. There are no lesbian movies for black women that have substance, and when one comes along (such as The Watermelon Woman) it should not be shoved aside and hated because one doesn't relate to it's message. I just needed to let it be known that I personally have been affected positively in many ways by simply knowing this film exists. Now I just have to watch the others included in this pack :)
