Pressestimmen
"I thought I knew a lot about gay movie history until I read New Queer Cinema and realized what a dunce I was. Ruby Rich has to be the friendliest yet toughest voice of international queerdom writing today. She's sane, funny, well-traveled and her aesthetics go beyond dyke correctness into a whole new world of fag-friendly feminist film fanaticism." - John Waters "Ruby Rich's New Queer Cinema is funny and deeply insightful - I loved going back to the good, bad old days of the '90s and seeing how those times (and their intense sense of urgency) exploded into an auteur-driven cinema today."--Christine Vachon, producer of the films Poison, Far from Heaven, and Boys Don't Cry "The greatest writer on New Queer Cinema! Buy Rich's book! It's amazing!"--Gus Van Sant "At last, an anthology of B. Ruby Rich's groundbreaking work on New Queer Cinema - a valuable historical archive with the added bonus of her current reflections on it. Smart, passionate, and engaging, her writing keeps alive the fine art of criticism that is so crucial to sustaining filmmakers and their audiences." - Ann Cvetkovich, author of Depression: A Public Feeling "Rich's book is both a portal into previous time of queer imagination and a history lesson on how the politics of an era resulted in the cinematic portrayal of the LGBT world as we see it now. New Queer Cinema is a living history..."--Chase Dimock, Lambda Literary Review "[D]aring and insightful... Recommended for film or queer-studies scholars, and for those strongly interested in post-1980s LGBTQ cinema."--Robin Chin Roemer, Library Journal "The vast majority of material here has been previously published but it is expanded, footnoted and indexed. Essays on Latin American and French LGBTQ cinema valuably take their place alongside write-ups of more familiar films... It's the opening chapter and conclusion that turn the collection into a book, with the conclusion a present-yet-prescient survey that encompasses the shift to gallery installations, the new trans cinema, digital developments and a resurgence of innovative fiction and documentary on the festival circuit that suggests 'we aren't after the fact at all... We are surely and absolutely... pre-.' [...] Whether you're a denizen, a habitue or a newcomer to queer cinema, Rich's writing will make you feel welcome, and offer something to discover." - Sight and Sound, July 2013
