What drew me to the movie Masculinity/Femininity was that James Franco was in it. As I watched it, I learned it was a continuation of a previous project Franco was involved. This movie explores what it means to be masculine and feminine. I explores the meaning and how individuals identify with. It follows several individuals from varying backgrounds but is told in a way as if they were acting about how they felt. The movie feels raw and exposed but in the end it gives you a compassion for these characters. In essence we all are both masculine and feminine. I saw this movie as part of the 2015 Atlanta film festival.

Not so super 8
davo10 December 2018
This film had some interesting things to say, with some interesting people saying them. However, the cinematography is dominated by the Super 8 format the director decided to employ, perhaps for philosophical or maybe economical reasons, and it does NOT serve the subject well. The Super 8 segments all had what appears to a brown drip at the top center right of every frame, and the image fidelity is generally of a lower quality than the conventional segments. Plus, the film cartridges provide (at best) 2 and a half minutes of footage each, so there are black screen gaps in the film while the cartridges are replaced. Again, there may be some reason for using obsolete technology, But I don't get it or appreciate it.
