L Is For The Way You Look
A film by Jean Carlomusto
1991, 24 minutes, Color, VHS
Order No. W99171
L IS FOR THE WAY YOU LOOK is a playful exploration of lesbian history and the women who have served as role models and objects of desire for young lesbians—from Martina Navratilova to Madonna, Simone de Beauvoir to Fran Lebowitz, Angela Davis to Dolly Parton, Patti Smith to Reno. The director also turns the camera on herself and her friends to discuss how media images of lesbians affect the construction of identity and how lesbians are written in and out of history. L IS FOR THE WAY YOU LOOK is an humorous and entertaining short video, grounded in a well-informed analysis of image politics.
