Anthem (1991)
I too, sing America
7 February 2022 - 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
I'm always worried when watching queer cinema of the 20th century that it will be a depressing reminder of the plague, but I should know that Marlon Riggs doesn't do depressing. He shows a realistic understanding of the world, but it is always uplifting. The fact that he is always intersectional in his work just makes it all the better.
This is an anthem to the United States that is, was, and could be. And equally and anthem to the gay, black citizens who are, were, and will continue to defy the America that attempts to erase them.
