As drag artist Aphrodite Banks, Jules (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) is a celebrated and beloved performer who, following a vicious homophobic attack, withdraws from his vibrant life. When he encounters his attacker (George MacKay)—who does not recognize him—in a gay sauna, he seizes the opportunity to enact revenge, entering into a complicated relationship with the closeted Preston, and infiltrating his world of hyper-masculinity and internalized homophobia. Anchored by two powerhouse performances, FEMME is a fearless game of cat-and-mouse. Opens exclusively at the Film Center.
