What drew me to the movie Masculinity/Femininity was that James Franco was in it. As I watched it, I learned it was a continuation of a previous project Franco was involved. This movie explores what it means to be masculine and feminine. I explores the meaning and how individuals identify with. It follows several individuals from varying backgrounds but is told in a way as if they were acting about how they felt. The movie feels raw and exposed but in the end it gives you a compassion for these characters. In essence we all are both masculine and feminine. I saw this movie as part of the 2015 Atlanta film festival.
This film had some interesting things to say, with some interesting people saying them. However, the cinematography is dominated by the Super 8 format the director decided to employ, perhaps for philosophical or maybe economical reasons, and it does NOT serve the subject well. The Super 8 segments all had what appears to a brown drip at the top center right of every frame, and the image fidelity is generally of a lower quality than the conventional segments. Plus, the film cartridges provide (at best) 2 and a half minutes of footage each, so there are black screen gaps in the film while the cartridges are replaced. Again, there may be some reason for using obsolete technology, But I don't get it or appreciate it.
