At BAM, ‘7 Walks With Mark Brown’ and a Pierre Creton retrospective explore gay life in rural France

1 week ago | gaycitynews.com | Steve Erickson

In the best sense of the word, Pierre Creton is a hobbyist. While he’s been able to accumulate a sizable body of work — most of which can be seen in BAM’s current retrospective — the gay French director works far outside the careerist rat race.

He centers the lives of the residents of rural France from the perspective of someone who actually lives there.

Gooners beware! The title of “Sex” is a provocation against the demand for cheap thrills. Rather than titillation, it offers two hours of talk.
