I will continue to cover Femme until the film slides out of cinemas – it is absolutely one of the best films of the year – and here comes a new clip from it as it continues to grab the best lead award (it won gongs at the BIFA ceremony on Sunday for leads Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and George Mackay).
If you’re not familiar with Femme, which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in February, here’s the official synopsis from Signature who have it in the Uk and Ireland.
Jules’ life and career as a drag queen is destroyed by a homophobic attack, but when he re-encounters his attacker in a gay sauna, he is presented with a chance to exact revenge.
