After ten months without sex, Max is set up by her friends with Ely, an older woman who initially doesn't seem to be Max’s type. Despite their differences, they discover a surprising potential for something beautiful between them. Go Fish highlights a search for love in 1990s Chicago and has established itself as a true lesbian cult classic.
Director Rose Troche makes a striking debut with Go Fish, which not only tells a love story but also paints a vivid picture of the lesbian community and its friendships. With poetic interludes and stylish black-and-white cinematography, the film has been praised for its authentic and humorous portrayal of everyday moments within the queer community.
Go Fish is part of our NEW QUEER CINEMA series, showing in June, July, and August 2024 at De Uitkijk.
