Beautiful and challenging in a way that begs repeat viewings, the film is set in 1925 Montana and follows Phil, a volatile, deeply closeted rancher (Benedict Cumberbatch, leading a staggeringly talented cast). So how fitting that a few months after Titane joined it, Campion herself would confirm herself as one of her generation's greatest filmmakers with her first film in over a decade: the very queer, anti-Western masterpiece The Power of the Dog. Benedettaīefore Titane, the only female-directed film to win the Palme d'Or was Jane Campion's The Piano back in 1993.
So with that in mind, here are my top 10 queer films of 2021. (I've heard many argue that three films I adore - Spencer, Zola and Together, Together - qualify as queer cinema personally I don't agree so I decided to leave them off this list, but please do see them anyway.) Really, I'm just aiming to shed a little spotlight on what represented the year's best queer cinema to me, hopefully sending a few extra viewers their way who maybe hadn't had them on their radar. And that's fine - a "queer narrative" is a subjective notion.

Unlike this column's list of the best queer TV from earlier in the month, where the content was a lot more obviously queer (in terms the stories they told and the people who told them), some of the films on this list are directed by straight-identifying folks or tell stories that some might argue aren't queer at all. It just wasn't always clear what was queer cinema this year. an unhinged body horror film about a queer woman who gets impregnated by her car, there was nothing expected or boring about queer cinema this year. Whether it was in a family-oriented animated film or in an anti-Western Oscar frontrunner or in. LGBTQ-themed filmmaking was all over the place in 2021 - and I mean that as a considerable compliment. Queeries is a weekly column by CBC Arts producer Peter Knegt that queries LGBTQ art, culture and/or identity through a personal lens.
