French historical fantasy/drama.
A pioneer of modern architecture, Le Corbusier (Jeanne Balibar) paces around his studio. Memories come back to him. He recalls a brief but decisive encounter with Josephine Baker (Emara Neymour-Jackson) during a transatlantic voyage in 1929… They meet again on the roof of his most famous building, where they celebrate Baker’s vision of the rainbow tribe by dancing to a conga rhythm.
Note: Le Corbusier was a brilliant architect, but was an ugly, bald dude. Jeanne Balibar is none of the above. The decision to cast her was discussed here.
I think it was a way for us to avoid the pitfalls of re-inscribing a heteronormative binary.
I personally have no problem re-inscribing a heteronormative binary. I try to do one a day, just before breakfast. But then again, I’m just a reckness, full-speed-ahead, devil-may-care rebel. I’m willing to break all of the unwritten laws and at least three of the Vanderpump rules.
Oh yeah, definitely, you’ve got to re-inscribe. No one wants a non-heteronormative binary or, even worse, a heteronormative trinary. But they’re right that you’ve got to avoid the pitfalls. None of those pits are pits you’d want to fall into.
