Festival Screening – August 15, 2015 @ 9:15 PM at International Village
At a time when gay porn was rough and raunchy, the sex in a Peter de Rome movie was compared to “a beautiful watercolour” and the man himself to a “typical British gentleman.” In clips as nostalgic as they are explicit, de Rome discusses testifying for the Wolfenden Report which decriminalized gay sex; how his film Adam & Yves has both the last film appearance of Greta Garbo and an all-black orgy; and how his movies, meant to “be seen by a few queens at a party,” altered an art form.
Director – Ethan Reid
An Official Selection at the 2014 Sheffield Doc/Fest.
