Description

In Rose Troche’s beloved GO FISH, celebrated anew with a stunning 4K restoration, Chicago college student Max (Guinevere Turner, who also co-wrote) is a “carefree single lesbo looking for love” without much success. She develops a relationship with Ely (V.S. Brodie), a shy and quirky older woman, but it is complicated: Ely is in a long-distance relationship. Groundbreaking upon its release for its candid celebration of lesbain culture, GO FISH is a Chicago-made gem that has only gotten better with time. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the city’s queer scene in the 1990s, GO FISH offers an authentic and candid exploration of identity, desire, and the universal quest for love that has only gotten better with time, solidifying its place in the queer cinema canon. Digitally restored by the Academy Film Archive and UCLA Film & Television Archive in conjunction with the Sundance Institute. Film Center exclusive.
