Bruce LaBruce’s “Saint-Narcisse” Asks “Is Mom a Witch or a Lesbian?” “Is Twincest Kosher?” and “Why Does That Monk Have an Arrow Fetish?”
Warning! Humans should tread carefully into the oft inflammatory cinema of Bruce LaBruce.
To quote myself: “Mr. LaBruce, for the uninitiated, is a man . . . and a highly subversive one at that with a cult following. Yes, for over two decades, this queer underground filmmaker has shocked and entertained with his tongue-in-cheek-and-elsewhere oeuvre.”
His Hustler White (1996) “stars an ex-beau of Madonna’s in an ode to L.A. male prostitution that includes a white, very blond boytoy being consensually gangbanged by a very long line of African American hunks. Think of Trader Joe’s on a Sunday afternoon. Gerontophilia (2013) focuses on a young gent discovering he has the hots for the male geriatric clientele of a nursing home. Then Otto; or, Up with Dead People (2008) chronicles with a gory finesse the plight of a carnivorous, neo-Goth gay zombie.”
