New videos of
queer interest include Saving Face

Several DVDs of gay and lesbian interest make their debut on Tuesday, October 18. Alice Wu's Sundance hit Saving Face (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) hilariously explores the complicated relationship between a closeted Chinese-American lesbian and her mother, particularly after the mother finds herself pregnant by a man whose identity she refuses to reveal. Family relationships are also at the center of Grand Sons (Strand Releasing Home Video), about the rapport between a 24-year-old man and his grandmother. Finally, there's Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat (Fox Home Entertainment), starring queer icon Tallulah Bankhead as a journalist struggling for survival after a Nazi U-boat torpedoes the ship on which she was traveling.
