“[PARIS IS BURNING] is a city film, in which the locale enables a practice that nevertheless cannot be undertaken entirely in the open, and so remains an underground cultural phenomenon. The film exposes an unacknowledged side of New York, a city that stands for the urban melting-pot, a notion that is rigorously questioned by the representation of those who are excluded. At the same time, New York City represents a destination for those who run away from home trying to find an alternative to the traditional family when it is experienced as oppressive.” (Barbara Mennel, Cities and Cinema)

One morning, over at Elizabeth’s beach house, she asked me if I’d rather go water skiing or lay out. And I realized that not only did I not want to answer that question, but I never wanted to answer another water sports question or see any of these people again for the rest of my life.
