queer short film: "мы станем лучше | we will become better"
queer short cuts is a biweekly newsletter where i share queer & trans short film recommendations. i'm featuring some of my favorite films on tumblr because why not
russia | 2021 | 6 minutes | music/dance video
audio in russian, english subtitles embedded
мы станем лучше | we will become better, written by evgeny primachenko and andzej gavriss, and directed by gavriss, is a music video by russian indie band сансара | sansara that protests the 2020 amendment to the russian constitution, proposed by vladimir putin, that defined marriage as between a man and a woman. the context is horrific but the film itself is gorgeous, featuring two dancers (maksim avdeev and nikita orlov) moving in tandem with each other but still completely separated and distant.
deepa's full review, including content notes at the end
read more about the making of the film!

The JQ Connection: Part 2
Kevin McNally
Pirates of The Caribbean series and Phantom of the Opera: Pirates is definitely a family favourite, we’ve watched it so many times. POTO (yes another Gerry movie…don’t judge I’ve loved the man for 20 years) changed my life, became my favourite and first show I saw on Broadway, and it’s my most special thing. Poor Kevin gets hung by The Phantom tho. 😬
Show with Joe: Catherine The Great as Alexei Orlov
Richard Roxburgh
Van Helsing and Moulin Rouge: I watch Van Helsing every Halloween Hundred and Moulin Rouge I’d have the soundtrack on repeat. I was supposed to see it in 2020 but literally 3 days before the show…Broadway shut down. It was one of the worst things that ever happened to me, not to mention I lost my opportunity to see the amazing Aaron Tveit 😭😭😭
Show with Joe: Catherine The Great as Grigory Orlov
Rory Kinnear
Penny Dreadful: A fun, dark show featuring monsters…such a great ride.
Show with Joe: Catherine The Great (if I ever had the balls to meet Joe I’d want him to sign the pic of him and Rory in their ballgowns) as Nikita Ivanovich Panin
Olivia Colman
The Night Manager, The Crown, and Doctor Who: She’s been in them all!! Her talent is unmatched.
Shows with Joe: Mosquitoes as Jenny and Les Miserables as Madame Thernardier
Stephen Rea
Interview with the Vampire: The movie that started the life long obsession with vampires when I was only 10. (Show is 10 times better tho)
Show with Joe: Dickensian as Inspector Bucket
Matthew Modine
Cuthroat Island: Another family favourite….I guess we just like pirates.
Show with Joe: Stranger Things as Dr. Martin Brenner

CHEZ VLADIMIR LES CROQUETTES SERAIENT-ELLES PLUS CROQUANTES ?
Aux dernières nouvelles, notre chère Frizée s'est fait livrer une croquette très-très spéciale, tout droit venue de Russie ! (le croustillant acheté au marché noir, bien entendu).
Cliché obtenu avec grande difficulté par nos paparazzi du UP.
C'est Janette qui a trouvé ce dealer spécialisé en croquettes très-très spéciales, un monsieur très snob garantissant une qualité de produit imbattable sur tous les marchés (noir, galactique, quantique, inter-dimensionnel, intra-dimensionnel, bizarroïde...).
Notre pauvre Frizée a été obligé de se taper la Quête du Kiwi Sacré (Tout comme la belle Zea, dite Petit Maïs Grillé) afin de rentrer en contact avec Monsieur S (le dealer). Quelle motivation ! Tout ça pour de la contrebande ! Enfin, Monster Team oblige, il faut entretenir la réputation du super-vilain-progéniture-de-Monsieur-M-en-personne !
La bonne nouvelle, c'est que la croquette made in KGB est surentrainée et donc préparée au pire comme la façon de manger de la Reine des Glaces et son estomac sans fond !
Ding-dong, livraison du cadeau ! Frozen EM frissonne d'impatience, que nous réserve ce colis si spécial ? Mystère et bottes de cuire...
La croquette, Nikita Vladimirovitch Orlov (comme c'est joli !), a dépassé toutes les attentes de la belle ! Le model à suivre pour tout élève de l'ESDA, la perfection, LE dark Agent que notre mortelle directrice a toujours rêvé de concevoir !
Et, cerise sur le crouton, non seulement il se fout de la façon de manger de notre Frizée (c'est tout de même un spectacle assez monstrueux, insupportable vision pour une âme moyennement sensible), mais cette anomalie le séduit au plus haut point !
Il craque complètement (à la limite du réchauffement climatique), mais pour ne pas livrer ses sentiments (c'est le coup de foudre intersidéral), il sort son masque de séducteur-mangeur-de-ravioli. Pourtant, le contraste est relativement impressionnant : le beau Nikita, lui, s'alimente convenablement et se tient à table avec un certain raffinement.
La Reine des Glaces brûle de désir pour sa marchandise de contrebande venue des pleines enneigées de Sibérie, elle oublie tout et n'a d'yeux que pour son nouveau joujou. Le spécimen amateur de plongée en rivières gelées dégringole sous le charme brute de la belle et oublie qu'il est une des nombreuses victimes de la contrebande de chosification !

Where were you ? ( Nikita )
Vasilia looked behind her to find her older sister and grinned in her direction, making her way over and wrapping her arms around the other blonde. "I've missed you Nikita! So very much," she spoke in their native tongue.
