Presented by Goethe-Institut Boston and Wicked Queer

The wildly unpredictable and uncannily gorgeous films of lesbian auteur Ulrike Ottinger are legendary for their sensational costumes and set design. In DORIAN GRAY, French cinema icon Delphine Seyrig plays the sinister head of a media empire that seeks to create its own celebrity—and then destroy him. 

The Brattle is thrilled to partner with our friends at the Goethe-Institut Boston and Harvard academic Anne Dymek for this special program of film screenings. Dymek and her students will provide introductions to each film, creating a forum for thought and conversation. This is a rare opportunity to see some of the most important queer cinema from the first half of the 20th century alongside groundbreaking work from the 1970s through today.
