"Figure incontournable du cinéma de fiction, l'homme qui se travestit le fait toujours pour de mauvaises raisons. Personnage de vaudeville, il s'efforce de fourguer en contrebande son désir. Antihéros burlesque, il joue à cache-cache avec la mort... À moins qu'il n'éprouve à s'habiller en fille un plaisir, ou un trouble, qui viennent rebattre les cartes. Jean Renoir et Éric Rohmer, Certains l'aiment chaud ou Tootsie témoignent de ces frissons nouveaux, qui, au passage, touchent au cœur de l'art de l'acteur. Mêlant la subjectivité aux révisions de classiques, ce livre est une traversée de la longue histoire des travestis dans le septième art. Il tente de définir la scène cinématographique où se débat l'homme en robe, cherchant désespérément, ou frénétiquement, un hors-champ qui n'existe peut-être pas."--Page 4 of cover.

"This latest addition to the Queer Film Classics series is an homage to Paris Is Burning, Jennie Livingston's brilliant and award-winning 1991 documentary that captures the energy, ambition, wit, and struggle of African-American and Latino participants in the 1980s New York drag ball scene. An unlikely hit when it was first released, the film is a lively, touchingly empathetic portrait of urban drag culture, introducing such performers as Willi Ninja, Pepper LaBeija, and Angie Xtravaganza. Paris is Burning generated enthusiastic buzz from audiences and critics, as well as impassioned debate: did the film present a subversive perspective on the crass values of the 1980s, or did it exploit its subjects and pander to privileged movie audiences? Regardless, the film is considered one of the key films of the New Queer Cinema, and resonates with audiences to this day. Author Lucas Hilderbrand contextualizes the film within the longer history of drag balls, the practices of documentary, the fervor of the culture wars, and issues of gender, sexuality, race, and class."--
