Most notable are positive portrayals of homoerotic feelings in relationships, made at feature length and for theatrical exhibition, and made by those who are same-sex oriented. Successful examples would be: Mädchen in Uniform, Germany (1931); The Leather Boys, UK (1964); Scorpio Rising, U.S.A. (1964); The Naked Civil Servant, UK (1975); Outrageous!, Canada (1977); My Beautiful Laundrette, UK (1985); Maurice, UK (1985); Summer Vacation 1999, Japan, (1988); Brokeback Mountain, U.S.A. (2005); and most recently Black Swan, U.S.A. (2010). Also of note is the feature-length BBC adaptation of Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, UK (1989).

Famous quotes containing the word cinema:
“For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.”
—Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980)
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
