Why watch this film?
"Everybody's Talking About Jamie" is a vibrant and highly relevant movie for the queer community. With an 80s aesthetic and a great story carrying a positive message, this film is inspired by true events. We follow Jamie New, a 16 year old teenager who feels like a fish out of water. His dream is to become a drag queen and make a career out of it. With the support of his family and friends, he goes after it. Despite the prejudices, the production shows how important it is to go after what we want. Some of the songs are incredible, as well as the cast - special mention to Max Harwood and Lauren Patel, who make their feature film debut in the best way possible.

Jerry jokes, sings and dances with his best friend, an acerbic would-be concert pianist, while romantic complications abound.
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Part two in French filmmaker Jacques Demy's informal romantic trilogy (begun with Lola), The Umbrellas of Cherbourg continues the director's experimentation with the idea of a full musical, where songs completely take the place of dialogue from start to finish, in combination with naturalistic performances as a counterpoint to an extremely colorful and artificial, almost saccharine production design. For those accustomed to the Hollywood musical formula, this may seem strange, even uncomfortable. However, the effect achieved by Demy is one of profound emotionality and, paradoxically, feels less artificial, perfect for telling this story about the earnestness of a young girl's (Catherine Deneuve) first love who is separated from her beloved boyfriend (Nino Castelnuovo) by his enlistment for war in Algeria, sending their lives on tragically separate paths. Winner of the Cannes Palme d'Or, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg remains one of the most singular musicals in history.
