Sokurov speaks
The director of Father and Son at Cannes 2003
BY GERALD PEARY
You want homophobic? Check out the former Soviet bloc or the former Yugoslavia, where gay people still hide their sexuality, where film festivals, including those in the more liberal Czech Republic, are noticeably lacking in overtly gay and lesbian cinema. I remember being at the Sochi Film Festival on the Black Sea a few years ago and watching a Russian movie in which a gangster character bullied an effeminate man. The audience of intellectuals roared its approval.
