In a Glass Cage
The work of Canadian Bruce LaBruce has been acclaimed in the US and France, and have been shown at prestigious festivals, but the filmmaker remains relatively unknown in the Land of the Maple Leaf. This retrospective, the largest ever organized in Canada, will allow us to measure the audacity and exuberance of LaBruce's work while depicting all the variations of sexuality on screen, from gay eroticism to transgression. Here is a subversive, pleasurable and combative queer cinema which will leave no one indifferent.
A doctor from a Nazi death camp who fled to Spain continues his horrific activities, only to find himself in an iron lung. Agustí Villaronga's legendary and controversial debut film has lost none of its power and provides - to the brave - a glimpse into the decline of humanity.
