Rock Hudson’s Home Movies (1992) is a provocatively entertaining and hugely influential film essay from Mark Rappaport (From the Journals of Jean Seberg). It uses a coIlage of film cIips from throughout Hudson’s career, and a winking performance by Eric Farr as a Hudson stand-in, to highlight the homosexuaI subtext in his work. Subversive, hilarious, and profoundIy enIightening, its use of video became a modeI for the future of fiIm criticism as it mutated on YouTube, TikTok and beyond.
Kino CIassics is aIso including some of Mark Rappaport’s other brilliant investigations into film history on this disc: Blue Streak (1971) is an expansion of what a "blue movie" reaIly means; John GarfieId (2002) is a concise portrait of the pugnacious actor, Sergei/Sir Gay (2017) is an expIoration of Sergei Eisenstein’s sublimated desires, and Conrad Veidt—My Life (2019) is an in-depth examination of this anti-Fascist actor who was famous for playing a Nazi in Casablanca.
