TAPECODE 005.07

A gender bender that isn't always what it seems to be. This comic-book-like thriller set in 1950's Vancouver features a cross dressing butch-femme couple, and has the pleasurable register of pop aesthetics as it recreates this much vilified era in lesbian history.

Une histoire d'ambiguïté sexuelle qui n'est pas toujours ce qu'elle semble être. Ce roman policier-bande dessinée, situé à Vancouver dans les années cinquante, met en scène un couple de lesbiennes travesties. Ce vidéo possède une touche agréable d'esthétique populaire en recréant cette époque diffamée de l'histoire "saphiste".
