LGBTQ+ representations in British film-making manage to cross over different styles and genres.

Key Points: 
  • LGBTQ+ representations in British film-making manage to cross over different styles and genres.
  • However, such wide visibility risks compromising the potential of LGBTQ+ films as a political force of collective dissent against homophobia and transphobia.
  • Reclaiming LGBT heritage and history – including films such as Vita and Virginia (2018), The Favourite (2018), and Ammonite (2020).
  • Rather than leading to a politically and aesthetically distinct trend or wave, these films relay queerness in significantly different ways.

Ghosts of the past

  • Most characters in Haigh’s films yearn for connection and intimacy and drift in and out of relationships.
  • The film starts with Adam (Andrew Scott) working in his flat, located in a near-empty tower block in London.
  • As their relationship develops, Adam is preoccupied with the memories of his past.
  • From a near-empty tower block to a suburban house of ghosts, the unpopulated cityscape in the film feels like a parallel, dream-like universe that we are invited to experience through Adam’s navigation of loss and grief.
  • As a gay man in his late 40s, carrying the generational trauma of the HIV/AIDS crisis, Adam talks to the ghosts of his “younger” parents about his childhood and his sexuality.
