i'm not peddli family values in "swoon," for instance.complicated, that ask you to ask questions about, for instance, the ideology of the family, or sexual or racial roles, or various positions in society. and i think at the heart, a lot of movies in hollywood do have an extremely strong and unself-critical promotion of family values, et cetera. (tom kalin) and i think "swoon" wants to interrupt that and recognize that the audience is more complicated and diverse than it's been constituted by mainstream film. using "new queer" cinema as a banner in which to market films has its pluses, obviously because films get more press, they get a movement. but on the other hand, i think it's a great disservice to a film like "swoon," which i think, certainly, transcds issues of sexuality and gender into much broader, stronger ideas of desire and passion. where was i?
