Exclusive Interview: Oscar-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams "the real Cassandro is such a proud, out, gay man who embraces everything about who he is"

When Roger Ross Williams met Saúl Armendáriz, better known as Cassandro, for a 2016 documentary he was directing for The New Yorker—The Man Without a Mask—the filmmaker immediately knew he’d found the subject of his first scripted narrative feature. Making the move from amateur wrestling in El Paso, Armendáriz became a Mexican-American icon with the character he’d created, the “Liberace of Lucha…

Cassandro Film

Follows the true story of Cassandro, the ''exotico'' character created by Saúl Armendáriz, gay amateur wrestler from El Paso who rose to international stardom.

Gael García Bernal was outstamding. I felt everything he was feeling, particularly in the scenes without dialogue that focused on the subtleties of his facial expressions. He just was ths character. I loved his style, especially his many different shirts, and that long red coat at the end was stunning. Also, Roberta Colindrez & Raúl Castillo being in this was a bonus treat and makes me want to rewatch Vida.

A Business Proposal Ep 6

When plans for a confession go awry, Tae Moo takes Ha Ri on a date by the sea disguised as a work trip. Cha Sung Hoon confronts a red-faced Young Seo.

The cinema work-date was very cute so ofc it got interrupted. Even though he had to crawl out on his hands and knees lol he was still polite to the worker and even waited, hidden, for HaRi after the film. Then the beach work-date was possibly even cuter, but him stalking her Insta to see what she likes spoiled the full potential of it. Also, YoungSeo taking every opportunity to not 'cross the line' is a level of petty I aspire to. But the drunken kiss was a hard nope for me. She was heavily inebriated while he was slightly fresh at worst.

Gen V 1x08 Guardians of Godolkin (Season Finale)

Cate and Sam team up together and free the captured supes from The Woods creating chaos on campus.

Marie's powers looked so cool when she was by the helicopter. And I was like WTF when 'he' showed up and did the thing. So to immediately see they were captured but still very much alive was a huge relief. I've enjoyed this a lot more than The Boys tbh, mainly due to actually developing their female and queer characters.

The 10 best LGBTQ+ films of 2023

This year’s crop of queer films has proven much more diverse and rich than in past years. In 2023, queer women and people of color occupied the screen space where cisgender gay white men once ruled. Also, the old storylines of sexual struggle under homophobia gave way to powerfully unapologetic queer folks of all ages defiantly finding their power and unapologetically standing in the foreground. This list shares 10 of the best queer films of the year. While it no doubt excludes a handful of other great queer cinema offerings, it nonetheless demonstrates how our stories as depicted onscreen have become much more vibrant and willful, even as our enemies redouble their efforts to attack and erase us.

Promotions (occasional) * Week in Good News (one on the Weekend) * Week in Review (one on the Weekend) * Daily Brief (one each weekday) * Sign Up In this upbeat biopic, award-winning actor Gael García Bernal plays Saúl Armendáriz, a Mexican immigrant who gains fame as Cassandro, a real-life gay exótico (drag) lucha libre wrestler who was known for wearing makeup and animal prints in the ring and for drawing power from the homophobic opposition he faced in the traditionally macho sport. Starring alongside Latinx actors Bad Bunny and Raúl Castillo (who appeared in the gay HBO series Looking), Bernal’s fantastic chemistry with his female coach and closeted boyfriend makes for a glorious drama filled with jaw-dropping wrestling scenes that have delighted and inspired viewers. Bottoms Lesbian high school underdogs PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri) are helplessly infatuated with two seemingly straight female cheerleaders. When they’re falsely accused of assaulting the school’s babyfaced star football player, the girls claim the alleged attack was actually just a part of their new female self-defense club. Though they hope the club will make them seem more attractive to their cheerleader crushes, the scheme soon devolves into hilariously violent chaos as other female misfits join the club, eager to finally disrupt their school’s social hierarchy. Lesbian film fans may also be interested in the much more serious 2023 film Nyad, which features ally Annette Benning as Diana Nyad, a real-life lesbian swimmer who became the first person ever to swim from Cuba to Florida. Kokomo City Because of the violence and oppression they face, Black trans women sex workers are often depicted as tragic victims-in-waiting. But this debut film from trans music producer D. Smith showcases surprisingly humanizing and insightful interviews with four Black trans sex workers in Atlanta, Georgia, and New York City (as well as some of their cis-male clients) in a way that feels fresh, immediate, endlessly engaging, and definitely overdue. The women’s matter-of-fact views on navigating male sexuality underscore the women’s raw power and depict a rarely seen underworld. Sadly, one of the women, Rasheeda Williams (aka. Koko da Doll) was murdered a few months after the film’s Sundance debut. It’s worth noting that another 2023 documentary, The Stroll, provides an alternate, historic look at Black and Latina trans sex workers who frequented New York City’s Meatpacking District in the 1980s and ’90s. Saltburn Bisexual desire and class consciousness boil over in this darkly comedic tale of Oliver, an Oxford University student who befriends his rich classmate, Felix, and joins him for a stay at his family’s palatial estate. While the film delights in the cutting, deprecating dialogue of Felix’s family and the debauchery of young people enjoying excesses of pleasure, a dark intensity runs throughout the film as its twists… http://dlvr.it/T0cxLF
