The edition references Julien’s 1989 film, Looking For Langston, a lyrical exploration of the inner world of the Harlem Renaissance poet, novelist and playwright Langston Hughes (1902-1967) and one of Julien’s most celebrated films. It’s exploration of the complexity of the queer gaze led to the film gaining cult status, becoming a hallmark of what is now described as ‘New Queer Cinema.'
