Latin@ culture tends to either be glamorized – larger than life drag queens looking like tropical island birds – or to take a back seat. Alex Anwandter takes on an honest investigation of the scene in the smartest way possible – by going back to the source, and emulating the film that first examined aspects of queer culture for a mass audience. Yes, “Como Puedes Vivir Contigo Mismo” is a send-up of Paris is Burning – write down to the title screens – and it’s fucking glorious in all its gritty honesty. No drag, no pretty hardbodies, no leather, just vogue and expression. -Matt Barbot
