Portrait of a Lady on Fire
French director Céline Sciamma delivered the year&#x;s brightest with this 18th century-set masterpiece. An iridescent portrait of female love, friendship and intellect, Adèle Haenel and Noémie Merlant excel as a noblewoman promised to a man she&#x;s never met and the artist secretly commissioned to capture her likeness. An instant classic aching with stolen glances, it rightly won the Queer Palm and Best Screenplay at this year&#x;s Cannes Film Festival. Truly magnificent, this is a seminal filmmaker at the top of their game so early in their career.

On July 19, , I made a post talking about the best LGBTQ movies of the decade until that point. Many movies came after that and now that we are almost in the middle of and I have watched probably the most important LGBTQ movies of , I’ve decided to update this list to a closing version. It’s also important to say that the movies that fit into this criteria are films that deal with concerns of this community or apply its central story or theme to tackle subjects related to the gay community. I also have personal favorites that I decided to ignore on this list such as We the Animals, Girl, and Canary &#; just like I ignored many cinephiles&#; favorites such as Moonlight since I believe there are much more powerful and important films. Here’s the final list of Papiro & Mint’s 25 adj LGBTQ movies of the decade:

I would like to start this list with a very easy but powerful film from the Netherlands called Boys. The story follows the coming of age of a young teenager and his relationship with a young man while he discovers his interests and sexuali

In addition, the year was marked by the gay Turkey Cinema films. Love, Magic, Vs and Not Knowing, which have not been released yet, are among these important films.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Portrait of a Flamed Young Young woman is the story of an artist charged with making a portrait of a young gal in Britain in the adv 18th century. Marianne is a young painter who lives on an isolated island. One afternoon, the young woman is tasked with making the wedding portrait of Heloise, who just left the monastery. However, Heloise should not be aware that his portrait was made. Marianne has to fulfill her duty literally, so she decides to track Heloise during the day and portray at night. This situation causes Heloise, who is about to marry reluctantly, to disburse the last free moments before her upc
Puppies, ghosts and euphoric snogging: the 25 best queer films of the century so far
Portrait of a Lady on Blaze ()
One detractor called it “a Shawshank Redemption for progressive millennials”. But the force of Céline Sciamma’s lesbian love story about an artist and her unwitting sitter on a remote island in 18th-century Brittany is undeniable. As is the integrity of its central dynamic, stripped of power imbalances, hierarchies – and men.
Diamantino ()
A low-budget, high-kitsch, torn-from-the-headlines football fantasy about a Ronaldo-esque football star who hallucinates giant pekingese puppies frolicking on the pitch whenever he scores. Throw in a cross-dressing refugee subplot, lesbian spies and a far-right cloning conspiracy and you have a goofy and irrepressible testament to intersectionality.
