- Summary:
- Britain's Channel 4 refused to broadcast this piece because of its subtitle: WHAT DO LESBIANS DO IN BED? The film looks into seventeen bedrooms to challenge the titillating promise of that question with home movie footage and texts such as "Sleep," "Read," and even "Sometimes Kiss." A light and humorous examination of visual representations of women, sexual terminology and the definition of deviance.
