One of three new Queer Film Classics to be published in late 2010, Montreal Main considers the brilliant yet neglected 1974 Canadian film set in Montreal's bohemian neighbourhood 'The Main' and hailed at its premiere at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The movie, directed by and starring Frank Vitale, is both a great indie film and a great queer film: a fascinating cinema v rit take on North American social mores and relationships in the 1970s. It tells of a 20-something photographer living among the outcasts, junkies and artists populating the Main.
