The Watermelon Woman

What a film! This is a hilarious romantic comedy that is also smart and invested in history and filmmaking. The Watermelon Woman is also sexy as hell, with perhaps the quote hottest dyke sex scene ever recorded on celluloid unquote. I honestly am not sure this is an exaggeration. This film is great.

Also, there is a whole collection of films directed by Cheryl Dunye currently playing on the Criterion Channel, including numerous hilarious and poignant short films. She's excellent, and if you don't know her work, you must check her out.
