The history of LGBTQ+ representation in Hollywood is traced from early coded portrayals and damaging stereotypes to more open and nuanced depictions. Narrator Lily Tomlin reflects on cinema’s role in shaping—and distorting—queer visibility. Collecting footage from over 100 movies and interviews with many of the filmmakers and actors who created them (including Tom Hanks, Shirley MacLaine, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Curtis, and Gore Vidal), THE CELLULOID CLOSET is a funny and insightful look at a changing century.
