Paris Is Burning obtiene 9/10 woke al hacer de la actuación de identidad, las casas de familia elegida y la marginación sistémica toda la historia. Sáltatela si quieres un documental sin ese encuadre político.
Paris Is Burning es un documental de 1990 cuya premisa completa se centra en narrar la escena ballroom de Harlem de los años 80 en Nueva York entre participantes afroamericanos y latinx, gays y transgénero.
La película destaca categorías como la "realness" (actuar convincentemente según las normas de género heterosexuales, blancas y ricas), las competiciones de voguing, las madres de casa que brindan apoyo de familia elegida y discusiones explícitas sobre homofobia, transfobia, racismo, SIDA y pobreza como condiciones definitorias de las vidas de los sujetos. Estos elementos no son un trasfondo incidental, sino el motor narrativo central, con entrevistas extendidas de figuras como Dorian Corey (explicando "shade"), Pepper LaBeija, Venus Xtravaganza y Willi Ninja que enmarcan la actuación de identidad y la marginación sistémica como el corazón emocional y temático de la historia.
