Song of Love (1950)
Homophobia/Homoeroticism in Chant d'Amour
26 November 2006
A reviewer's homophobia shouldn't delegitimize a film depicting homoeroticism.

Chant d'Amour already explores homosexual paralysis in a homophobic world.

The film's wall—and its metaphorical representation of societal homophobia—obstructs the consummation of love between the two males.

Homophobia hinders love within the film; but a review of the (beautiful, provocative, original) film shouldn't be hindered by homophobia.
