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 im portance 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 Betacam SP NTSC. 600 10 Lennon, John,|d1940-1980|vDrama. 600 10 Ono, Yōko|vDrama. 610 20 Beatles|vDrama. 650 0 Lesbianism|vDrama. 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 700 1 Dougherty, Cecilia. 700 1 Garellick, Jill. 700 1 Aragon, Kate. 700 1 Cook, Shelley. 700 1 Bright, Susie,|d1958- 700 1 Nurudin, Azian. 700 1 Dunphy, Didi. 935 GLADN17667830 941 0 PFA 0503-01-11407.
