Book Presentation:
In recent decades, male bisexuality has become a recurring topic in international cinema, as filmmakers and their works challenge our ideas about sexual freedom and identity. In all of these films, more than a dozen of which are covered here, bisexuality is treated both as an actual practice and a complex metaphor for a number of things, including the need to adapt to changing environments, the questioning of rigidly traditional male roles and identities, the breakdown and regeneration of the structures of families, the limitations of monogamy, and the stubborn affirmation of romantic love.
About the Author:
Justin Vicari is an award-winning poet, essayist and film writer. He lives in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.
Press Reviews:
"Recommended! Vicari has amazing insights into bisexuality and how it is expressed on film. His film criticism is both in-depth and fascinating"—Examiner.com; "the well-conceived structure, detailed reflections, and lucid writing style of Vicari’s study should interest both casual cineastes and scholars. It is certain to become an influential staple and offer solid grounding for further research and examination"—brightlightsfilm.com.
