Comedy in Six Unnatural Acts (A)

Each of the six sections of this film critiques homosexual and heterosexual stereotypes of lesbians. Models of romantic love, drawn from Hollywood cinematic conventions, are subverted in a comic mode for political purposes. By provoking laughter at her caricatures, from the wallflower to the foot stompin' dyke, the filmmaker deals not just with lesbian issues, but the ideological mechanisms of socialisation, male/?female gender differentiation, and cultural notions of romantic love.
