Amazing true story of Quentin Crisp, based on his autobiography., 6 May 1999
9/10
Author: cricket-14 from Northern Mid Atlantic

Long before it was fashionable to come out of the closet, Englishman Quentin Crisp did so. He was rather effeminate, also wearing make up which made him stand out even more.

This is his fascinating story, marvelously portrayed by John Hurt.

(P.S. The queenly Quentin plays the kingly Queen Elizabeth I in the movie "Orlando")
