River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves star in director Gus Van Sant's stunning, sensitive tale about two young sex workers and a merry band of outsiders.
"Original, witty and delightful" —Los Angeles Times
The fête of lesbian friendship and community are at the center of director Rose Troche’s landmark debut feature, a clever and sexy matchmaking romance set in Chicago. As Max (co-writer Guinevere Turner) looks to end a 10-month sexless drought, her friends may have a freshly single someone in mind. With lyrical interludes and black-and-white independent panache, Troche carves an indelible film for the unabashed lesbian life of the 90s–and shows how enticing finger clipping foreplay can be.
Queering the Canon: Besties is presented in partnership with NewFest.
Join us for a Q&A with Troche and Turner following the screening!
