A rarity…change viewed through a lesbian perspective.’ Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle; ‘Recounts the sexy secrecy of the early scene. What makes it so interesting are the intersections of the sweep of history with the smallness of one social circle. The cultural moment and the tiny bar stand off, each alternately throwing down a card across the notion of history, each card changing the game.’ Martha Baer, Village Voice; ‘Lively & Loving..and you don't have to be a local to be warmed by its spirit.’ Jay Carr, Boston Globe; ‘This Extraordinary & Ambitious documentary contains the stuff of history and legend.’ Deborah Peifer, Bay Area Reporter; ‘Full of Wit, Zaniness & Outlaw Pride.’ John Hartl, Seattle Times; ‘This is a Cool movie.’ Nancy, Girl Mag.” To the right is a greyscale photograph of five people sitting at a table with drinks.

Some genuinely wild women —- and some more demure but no less lively types — take center stage in Paris Poirier’s vivacious documentary about the life and times of Maud’s, the longest-running lesbian bar ever. This venerable San Francisco hangout opened in 1966 when homosexuality was still very much in the closet, and flourished throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s, only to shut don in 1989, a victim of the post-AIDS clean-and-sober ethic. In between are many provocative personal stories of coming up, sexual politics and softball, along with the flashbacks of the Hollywood gay bars of the ‘40s and the vice raids of the ‘50s. A witty and informative look at cultural evolution in the making. Three stars (not rated) 76 invites — Lisa Jensen, Good Times Santa Cruz.” The signature of Paris Poirier is written in blue marker and overlays the box.
