Gil Bengston and Vincent Merouze recommended different LGBTQ+ films to me within hours of each other - Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)and Just a Question of Love (2000) - and here they share with me what resonated for them both in each film. The three of us also discuss the differences in representation in the 20 year gap between when the films were made and why representation in media is important to us. Happy Pride 2020!
Portrait of a Lady on Fire was directed by Céline Sciamma. Just a Question of Love was directed by Christian Faure.
