Philadelphia: Pride, Prejudice & Peak Performances

For Pride month we’re looking back at a key, tragic moment in LGBT+ history, the AIDS crisis, and watching Jonathan Demme’s Oscar-winning legal drama, Philadelphia.
Molly and Chloe enter the court with Best Actor-winner Tom Hanks and his maverick lawyer Denzel Washington, and give their verdicts on the film’s representation of gay men, homophobia and early 90s attitudes towards HIV-positive people, and how the directing style veers from formal to movingly surreal.
Plus we bang the gavel on the movie’s most 90s details and award some of the best moments, and present some films to watch next - from queer rep onscreen to against-the-odds legal dramas.
The quote at the start is from David Ansen’s 1993 review in Newsweek. We also reference Roger Ebert’s review.
‘Philadelphia: un-packaging the Hollywood AIDS drama’ by Amy Taubin for Sight and Sound.
