Episode 1: Bruce LaBruce's NO SKIN OFF MY ASS (1991)

Cruising the Movies

In this inaugural episode of CRUISING THE MOVIES, Liz and KJ take a look at the controversial (and oft-censored) debut feature from one of queer cinema's great provocateurs: Bruce LaBruce. A loose remake of Robert Altman's THAT COLD DAY IN THE PARK, LaBruce's NO SKIN OFF MY ASS tells the story of the strange love affair between a swishy gay hairdresser and a skinhead. Then, Liz and KJ speak with filmmaker Henry Hanson, whose recent short BROS BEFORE was heavily inspired by LaBruce's early work. Both NO SKIN OFF MY ASS and BROS BEFORE play at IFC Center in New York on Monday, April 29th at 7pm.
