Reviews for Deviant Eyes, Deviant Bodies: Sexual Re-Orientation in Film and Video
In the course of this fascinating, polemical book... [Straayer] writes interestingly about such films as Some Like It Hot, Victor / Victoria, Adoption, and Orlando and about a number of experimental films... Informative, challenging, thought-provoking, and perhaps unsettling. Choice
