Love Handles: The Lost Interview

About This Movie

So, 'Love Handles: The Lost Interview' is a fascinating little piece from 1984 that captures this drag legend's essence right before she kind of vanished from the scene. The tone is both nostalgic and candid; Love Handles opens up about her name's creation and shares intimate stories about her late husband. The pacing feels relaxed, almost like a chat over coffee with an old friend. It really explores themes of identity, loss, and the vibrant community of drag performers. There's a rawness to the footage that feels like a time capsule, and Love Handles' personality shines through, making it a distinctive watch. Not much in terms of practical effects, but her performance alone makes the interview worthwhile.
