Stolz und schwul

About This Movie

So, Stolz und schwul is this fascinating documentary from '91, and while the director's unknown, it really captures the essence of the time. Rosa von Praunheim dives into some raw conversations with Kurt von Ruffin, Harry Toste, and Andreas Meyer-Hanno. The atmosphere feels very Berlin—urban, edgy, a bit raw, you know? It’s not polished, but that sort of adds to its charm. The pacing is steady, allowing you to really digest the themes of identity and activism in the gay community. Performances are genuine, and the realness of the dialogues makes it stand out. It's definitely a slice of history, exploring the lives of those navigating their truths amidst societal challenges.
