Army of Lovers or Revolt of the Perverts

Directed by Rosa von Praunheim1979West Germany107 mins

Shot over the course of seven years, Army of Lovers traces the development — and splintering — of the American gay rights movement from the Mattachine Society through the end of the 1970s. From gay porno legend Fred Halsted to Anita Bryant and beyond, this polarizing film is a crucial document of the liberation era and a condemnation of gay complacency that still resonates.
