摘要
摘要本文考察了澳大利亚酷儿电影的评论接受度,展示了对澳大利亚酷儿影片评论的差异。《沙漠女王普里西拉历险记》(艾略特,斯蒂芬,1994年)。沙漠女王普里西拉历险记。悉尼:路演发行)和《我们的总和》(道林、凯文和杰夫·伯顿,1994年。《我们的总和》(The Sum of Us,Sydney:Southern Star)将与20世纪90年代后期的电影进行比较,尤其是《爱与其他灾难》(Croghan,Emma Kate,1996)。爱情和其他灾难。悉尼:福克斯探照灯),《井》(郎,萨曼莎,1997年。The Well。悉尼:南方之星)和Head On(Kokkinos,Ana.1998。Head On。墨尔本:雨伞娱乐)。这些后来的电影在酷儿电影节和一般的国际电影节上引起了轰动。他们的古怪吸引了国际LGBTQ观众,其次,与类型相关的元素有可能吸引更广泛的电影爱好者。我将利用副文本元素,特别是在电影节和影院放映期间的评论,来展示它们是如何向更广泛的观众传播的。在调查它们的框架和接受度时,这些电影越来越多地通过其类型符号吸引观众。这篇文章表明,围绕澳大利亚酷儿电影的讨论已经成熟,可以提供多方面的视角。
More than just a gay pun: the changing nature of Australian queer film criticism
ABSTRACT This essay looks at the critical reception of Australian queer cinema demonstrating the difference in reviews of queer Australian films. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (Elliot, Stephan. 1994. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Sydney: Roadshow Distribution) and The Sum of Us (Dowling, Kevin, and Geoff Burton. 1994. The Sum of Us. Sydney: Southern Star) will be compared to films that came later in the 1990s, notably Love and Other Catastrophes (Croghan, Emma-Kate. 1996. Love and Other Catastrophes. Sydney: Fox Searchlight), The Well (Lang, Samantha. 1997. The Well. Sydney: Southern Star) and Head On (Kokkinos, Ana. 1998. Head On. Melbourne: Umbrella Entertainment). These later films managed to generate buzz on the queer film festival circuit as well as at general international film festivals. Their queerness attracts international LGBTQ audiences while, secondly, genre-related elements have the potential to attract a wider cinephile audience. I will utilise paratextual elements, particularly reviews during their film festival and theatrical runs, to demonstrate how they cross-over to wider audiences. In investigating their framing and reception, these films increasingly engage audiences through their genre signifiers. This essay demonstrates that the discourse around Australian queer cinema has matured to offer multi-faceted perspectives.
