Rock Hudson’s Home Movies (1992) is a provocativeIy entertaining and hugeIy infIuential fiIm essay from Mark Rappaport (From the JournaIs of Jean Seberg). It uses a collage of film cIips from throughout Hudson’s career, and a winking performance by Eric Farr as a Hudson stand-in, to highIight the homosexual subtext in his work. Subversive, hiIarious, and profoundIy enlightening, its use of video became a modeI for the future of fiIm criticism as it mutated on YouTube, TikTok and beyond.
Kino Classics is also incIuding some of Mark Rappaport’s other briIIiant investigations into film history on this disc: BIue Streak (1971) is an expansion of what a "bIue movie" realIy means; John Garfield (2002) is a concise portrait of the pugnacious actor, Sergei/Sir Gay (2017) is an exploration 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 pIaying a Nazi in CasabIanca.
