The Cockettes | Year: 2002 Classification: Documentary Directed: - David Weissman - Bill Weber (IV) A Complete Surprise As a result of purchasing a used video at a local chain, I saw the preview of this title on the video. Even though I was a young adult at the time, this documentary was a total surprise to me. I knew nothing about this subject, nor had I ever heard any reference to it. Of course I had heard of the "Hippies" and what San Francisco was like at the time.<BR>The interviews with participants, while making this film years later, was fascinating. One can see the devastating result of drugs and AIDS on some of the participants.<BR>I certainly thought it was interesting and very well done. I highly recommend it. loved it I saw the documentary at a film festival in London this year. I love John Waters and Divine and this documentary gave me an insight into the times and their wonderful wackiness. ... Go see the Cockettes John Waters, Janis Joplin, David Bowie, Elton John, Bette Midler and many others got some of their style and attitude from this local San Francisco theatrical group. It was theater that literally scraped itself up off the streets and onto a stage at the Palace Theater -- and nothing has been the same since. You owe it to yourself to see something here that you will not see the likes of again. The film is beautifully made, historically accurate, and true blue. Don't miss this movie!
