From Library Journal
This work serves as a who's who of the genre, although a truly thought-provoking critique still must be written. A boardmember of the Bisexual Resource Center in Boston, Bryant examines more than 200 international films with a groundbreaking focus. As Bryant points out in his preface, almost nothing has been written specifically about bisexuality in movies. However, most of Bryant's selections have been discussed elsewhere, and Bryant's survey does not offer the deep critical analysis found in such lesbian and gay film monographs as Vito Russo's seminal The Celluloid Closet (LJ 6/1/81) and Chris Straayer's Deviant Eyes, Deviant Bodies (LJ 1/15/97). Still, its unique approach recommends this work for academic queer studies and film collections.?Anthony J. Adam, Prairie View A&M Univ. Lib., Houston, Tex.

Product Description
Bisexual Characters in Film explores, analyzes, and celebrates 80 years of bisexual movie characters, and their creators, from more than 20 countries. This mind-opening, new book examines the treatment of bisexual film characters and explains how societal forces, such as censorship, politics, religious prejudices, homophobia, and sexual stereotypes have affected their portrayal. The first book to focus specifically on bisexual film characters, Bisexual Characters in Film will be widely read by researchers, librarians, film festival planners, and professors of lesbian, gay, and bisexual studies.
