Under One Roof
Release year: 2003
Country:  USA

The two worlds cutely collide when Daniel’s mother rents out the basement to Robert, who she describes as “white, but he’s got manners.” Charming circumstances and mild misunderstandings conspire to bring the two young men together, then apart, then together again in an inevitable happy ending. It’s kind of like taking Margaret Cho’s old sitcom, All American Girl, and mixing it with a little Will & Grace, and ending up with a big confection of Chinese-American wholesomeness.

 

 


 

 
Urinal
Release year: 1998
Country:  Japan

Postmodern pastiche brings together four famous queer artists (Kahlo, Mishima, Eisenstein, Hughes) to discuss Canadian oppression of homosexuals. Exasperating yet intelligent, it's best appreciated by fans of the genre.
