Welcome to Screen Gems, our weekend dive into queer and queer-adjacent titles of the past that deserve a watch or a rewatch.The Borderline: The PrinceWhatever it says, this excellent Chilean film ended up on a list of banned titles by Amazon the first week of its release.
Having seen it, we can guess why. The Prince tells the story of Jamie, a young gay man sent to prison in Chile in the 1970s.
Upon his arrival, he immediately becomes the bottom for a prison crime lord of sorts. From there The Prince goes on to follow Jamie’s coming of age, and examine some very strange contradictions in the ultra-macho–and very homoerotic–world of masculine identity.
