Om denne filmen

The award-winning Paris Is Burning has been igniting audiences and critics across the country and all over the world with record- breaking box office performances. An unblinking behind-the-scenes story of fashion-obsessed New Yorkers who created "voguing" and drag balls, and turned those raucous celebrations into a powerful expression of fierce personal pride. This world-within-a-world is instantly familiar, filled with ambitions, desires and yearnings that reflect America itself. Paris Is Burning is an intimate portrait of one urban community, a world in which the allure of high fashion, status and wealth becomes an affirmation of love, acceptance and joy.

I just love how everything has a root. The gay/lesbian children now have RuPauls drag race to experience gay culture but this lifestyle has so much history. The lingo and the lifestyle is nothing new and its beautiful to step back in time and be educated.

This is so well done and such an amazing insight into gay minority new york circa late 80's. This is education, this is realness, this is fierce!

One of the few documentries that are really true. Hard time watching as many of the ppl I came up knowing and it all seems like another lifetime ago
