Cruising (1980): A surreal time capsule of America before AIDS
American of 1980 was NOT the America of 1981-82. Pre AIDS. Pre Reagan America. William Friedkin's Cruising is a snapshot, believe it or not, of 1980. Before the fall. A surreal police procedural and pseudo American Giallo about a serial killer in the gay leather community sparked condemnation and outrage during the production. It has been reappraised since but what makes that movie so off puttingly effective? Jeff talks about that, his own experience with the movie, and how we need to see these snapshots as a gay community in order to understand how we got from there to here.Enjoy the show!
