Description

Cruising (United Artists, 1980). Folded, Very Fine+. One Sheet (27" X 41"). Released in 1980, Cruising occupies a controversial yet noteworthy place in LGBTQIA+ film history. The movie, revolving around a detective's (Al Pacino) experience in New York City's underground gay scene while on a case, garnered mixed reactions for its representation of the community. However, despite the controversy, Cruising remains an essential part of the dialogue concerning the portrayal of the LGBTQIA+ community due to its unfiltered look into its subcultures, and thereby reflecting the fears and tensions of its era, especially with the impending AIDS crisis. The ongoing discourse around Cruising demonstrates its enduring relevance within the LGBTQIA+ community as a pivotal, although contentious, part of their representation in mainstream film. Starring Al Pacino, Paul Sorvino, Karen Allen, Richard Cox, Don Scardino, Powers Boothe, and Ed O'Neill. Directed by William Friedkin. An unrestored poster with bright color and a clean overall appearance. It may have general signs of use, such as light edge and fold wear, mostly minor creases, primarily unobtrusive smudges, or pinpoint crossfold separation.
