The Eclipse: Courtship of the Sun and Moon (1907)


Part of Georges Méliès' oeuvre

of "Artificially Arranged Scenes"

this film is overlooked

for what it really is:

the first depiction of gay sex

on the big screen



That the celestial act happens

between the sun and the moon

does not make it any less

queer
