*Metathron voice* what makes a man bisexual? Is is his need to declare every so often that he tops his male costar? Or is it his favourite pose being the eiffel tower? The homoerotic poetry he writes? Or is a gay angel living inside his head for over a decade?

dean, grabbing cas by the lapels after he rescues him from the empty: do you love me? or do you love me?

cas: ????

dean: cas i need to know what kind of love you meant

cas, with dawning realisation and love in his eyes: the sodomy kind.

When someone mentions a show you’ve been obsessing over, but you have to act cool about it.

Harry: Baa!

Sirius: The pig says you have the right to remain silent

Remus: Sirius, no!

hello! i was wondering if you had any recommendations for italian films (especially ones with lgbt themes?) :)

hello anon! i’ve always held the opinion that italian cinema has never found a middle ground: it’s either about thieves and poverty or it’s some half-surreal exploration of sensuality. both are great, but i think it often divides people. so i’m not sure what your tastes are, but here’s a little list:

ALL PASOLINI but in the meantime try these…at your own risk:

il decameron (1971)

teorema (1968)

salò, or the 120 days of sodom (1975)

so, so much of the work of luchino visconti, one of the Original Italian Gays™:

the damned (1969)

death in venice (1971)

ludwig (1973)

i will always stan liliana cavani, who delivered the gay & sexy:

the night porter (1974)

beyond good and evil (1977)

the berlin affair (1985)

satyricon (1969) dir. federico fellini

il conformista (1970) dir. bernardo bertolucci

dorian gray (1970) dir. massimo dallamano

a special day (1977) dir. ettore scola

ernesto (1979) dir. salvatore samperi

the flavor of corn (1986) dir. gianni da campo

the turkish bath (1997) dir. ferzan özpetek

his secret life (2001) dir. ferzan özpetek

pasolini (2014) dir. abel ferrara

i am love (2009) dir. luca guadagnino

call me by your name (2017) dir. luca guadagnino

(wow the 70s was Truly a gay time)

there are a lot, a lot, a lot of incredible italian visionaries, but i’m trying to keep this list pretty gay — as most lists should be

a few recs i would mention that aren’t italian/-language but share the sensibilities of some of the italian art cinema i’ve been talking about include the works of derek jarman like the iconic sebastiane (1976) and caravaggio (1986) and edward ii (1991), melville’s le samouraï (1967) and le cercle rouge (1970) for their incredible asexuality / homosocial tension, ma mère (2004) by the underrated christophe honoré, caligula (1977) for the sheer boldness of it all, and who could forget the dreamers (2003) from the shameless pervert bertolucci himself

and some links!
