Bound

Bound

We at the Scene can’t get enough of the delightful repertory offerings at historic Hillsboro Village arthouse and cinema center the Belcourt Theatre — from the ongoing Weekend Classics series (including February’s Remembering Sidney Poitier programming) to August’s Trilogies series. But July’s Queer Qlassics takes the cake. The four-part series kicked off with the Wachowskis’ simmering Bound and wrapped with Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s tender Tropical Malady. Another pair of killer queer-centric ’90s pictures filled out the lineup (Basic Instinct and But I’m a Cheerleader), and the Belcourt offered guest speakers and other enrichment activities to accompany the screenings. It’s always refreshing to see queer love represented on the big screen — as the folks at the Belcourt themselves put it, it was a fun and special opportunity to “engage with, embrace, and experience major works of queer art as a community.” D.
