From the underground to the Oscar-winning, the titillating to the tasteful, the campy to the heartfelt, The Queer Movie Poster Book is a captivating visual history of the best of Queer film culture.
Queer-themed cinema has been around for decades, from low-budget underground movies to big studio films with marquee actors. But until the relatively recent acceptance and mainstreaming of queer culture, the films' primary marketing vehicles - the posters - historically deployed a range of strategies to convey, or winkingly allude to, films about the love that dare not speak its name. The first overview of its kind, The Queer Movie Poster Book traces the history of gay film from its often coded promotional art of the past right through to modern open commercial hits.
