The film works on many levels to reposition the mythic tale of the Beatles boy's life by casting '80's women in mod drag, effectively mapping the lesbian sub-culture onto heterosexual mass culture. Discounting the importance of historical accuracy, Dougherty gives an incisive reading of the creation of pop culture icons with John Lennon portrayed as a projection of our society's collective needs and desires. 538 VHS. 590 PFA 0500-01-11408. |aCOPY-SPECIFC DESCRIPTION: 1 videocassette of 1 (39:20) (VHS NTSC) : sd., col. ; 1/2 in. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last checked: 2007/08/21 excellent condition. 600 10 Lennon, John,|d1940-1980|vDrama. 600 10 Ono, Yōko|vDrama. 610 20 Beatles|vDrama. 650 0 Lesbianism|vDrama. 650 0 Experimental films|zUnited States. 650 0 Experimental films. 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 700 1 Dougherty, Cecilia. 700 1 Bright, Susie,|d1958- 700 1 Cook, Shelley. 710 2 Art Institute of Chicago.|bVideo Data Bank. 935 GLADN151792873 935 .b7850402 941 0 PFA 0500-01-11408.
