    So I saw Blancanieves last night, and I gotta say, its one of my favorite movies ever. Its a traditional spanish (as in spain) take on the Snow White tale. Set in 1920s spain, it mimics the style of that era to tell the story of a female bullfighter. I figured the lesbian and bi ladies would enjoy this because 1), the snow white figure, Carmen, is beautiful (to the point a gay man -me- drools over her) but also because she is a seriously strong and powerful on her own terms main character. And a tiny bit of lady on lady kissing.. Enough that if it were between two men id have noticed as something outside of the norm...
    Its a (modern) silent, so keep your patience. But eaisly one of the most beautiful and powerful films ive seen in a while.


    Anyone else seen anything good lately?

    heres the trailer by the way for Blancanieves: Blancanieves (2013) - Official Trailer [HD]: The 'Snow White' of Spain - YouTube

    Its showing in NYC theaters right now, but its also online.

    Gotta say its the best of the recent Snow White movies. with the most realistically terrifying step mother of them all.
