Review: Behind Every Good Man [1967]
Willow Catelyn Maclay and Caden Mark Gardner recently published their book, Corpses, Fools and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema. First of all, it is a fantastic book and you should buy it. Secondly, one of the films that they discussed that stood out to me the most was Nikolai Ursin’s Behind Every Good Man.

Reading that, I could not help but feel like this was a truly historic text that needed to be watched as soon as possible.

Ranking the Federico Fellini Films
Films to Still Watch; Fellini’s Casanova, Orchestra Rehearsal, City of Women, Ginger and Fred, The Voice of the Moon
Federico Fellini is one of the most iconic filmmakers of all time. I was introduced to 8 1/2 in my teenage years but it took me two decades to finally go and dig deep into his work. He clearly deserves his reputation for many reasons. He is though a classic example of an artist that struggles with writing anything but what he knows most dearly. That is not really a knock but worth noting. Here is how I have his films ranked so far in my exploration.
