“Bisexuality Is All The Rage.”
Your weekend before the Golden Globes would not be complete without the rundown on a trio of films featuring how you too can double the pleasure, but perhaps not double the fun. I give you the following:
🤩🤩🤩 for each
In theatrical release and streaming on demand (2023)

Apparently, everyone in Gen Z is queer or in a threesome as we discover a trio of handsome Frenchie artists torn between friendship and marriage. The chick and hot schoolteacher played by Adèle Exarchopoulos, a cross between Ana de Armas and Mandy Moore, is the breakout star of Ira Sachs latest and greatest film. The tone is set from the get-go: Let’s just show gratuitous sex. But don’t get me wrong, this is the hottest gay sex you will see all year.
Maestro
Streaming on Netflix, December 2023
It’s a movie about a prominent and brilliant real-life bisexual run amok that…surprise!…turns into a cancer movie! Oscar material indeed for Cary Mulligan at the envy of Bradley Cooper.
Anatomy of a Fall
Movies On Demand, December 2023
Justine Triet brings us the best foreign language film of the year with her quintessential piece of French cinema. The opening sequence of the tennis ball making it’s slow, bouncing descent down the steep attic stairs portends the Anatomy of the Fall from the title. While the drama heightens at every step as she deftly deploys music at every steps to portray the cacophony that consumes the lead characters of mother and son. From repetition of the blaring instrumental version of 50 cent’s P.I.M.P. to the child’s raucous moves as he practices piano as he fears the trial, Triet brings us a suspenseful and cinematic masterpiece with a bisexual at the center who is either having a bad moment or doing bad things—you decide.
