Believe it or not, i've never seen "Boys in the Band" the film, and I've never seen it staged. So I'm gonna be going in COMPLETELY BLIND when I finally see it.
I skimmed your review here to avoid spoilers, but I'm super curious how this one will resonate with me. I'm a child of the 80's, and I remember seeing figures like this as I was becoming aware of my sexuality, and I remember how jaded and embittered they all seemed to be. It turned me off from thinking that being gay would make for a good, fulfilling life. I'm curious if I'll see glimpses of that within this famous story.
Anyway. thanks for posting -- I'll try to post something after I see it!
