In 2015, Cate Blanchett locked eyes with Rooney Mara across a department store, and the film world got a little bit happier and a lot more lesbian. Todd Haynes' masterpiece Carol sparked a slew of period pieces featuring romance between two women, and though Carol started the trend on the right foot, not everything that followed lived up to its chic sensuality. Join Kevin and Jake as we investigate the best, the worst, and the wettest of the lesbian period dramas we have viewed since 2015. Our mini-series of our favorite cinematic sissies continues with a discussion of the incomparable Leslie Cheung's effeminate opera singer, Douzi, from the Chinese 1993 classic film Farewell My Concubine.
