Different from the Others
One of the first gay-themed films in the history of cinema. Different From the Others was banned at the time of its release, later burned by Nazis and was believed lost for more than forty years. Now recovered, this brave effort to repeal Germany's Paragraph 175 - which sentenced thousands of accused German homosexuals to jail terms for "unnatural vice between men" - is suprisingly progressive, even by today's standards. Starring Conrad Veidt (Cabinet of Dr. Caligari). |
