Day 2: AN ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK

Good crowd but I was still wishing it was bigger as this film was truly great -- entertaining and, at the same time, informative. I think for a lot of people, this was a perfect introduction to the life and thoughts of an amazing gay icon. Watching John Hurt perfectly embodying the late Quentin Crisp is already worth the ticket price. Your thoughts?

NOTE: The Swedish short film I Am Gay was screened in this program.

I wasn't aware that Quentin championed the work of the artist Patrick Angus (http://bit.ly/4ntc1B). Jonathan Tucker, the actor who played Angus, did a particularly good job.

Just. Fabulous.

I'm so glad for the opportunity to see this film. Hurt was incredible as Crisp.

This film will start its run on Logo for those who missed it.
