Fairy Tales of Two Cities:
or Queer Nation(s)-National Cinema(s)
From: In a Queer Country
$0.52
Thomas Waugh’s "Fairy Tales of Two Cities: Queer Nation(s)-National Cinema(s)" considers examples from a past when Canadian cinema in general was defining itself, in response to burgeoning nationalism in both English Canada and Quebec. Waugh examines a paradigm of four films, two from the sixties, two from the seventies, two from Quebec, two from Ontario, two with main stream success, two little-known. Waugh suggests a few generalizations that might be made from this complex plot with four characters.
