Strange Fruit

A film about a gay cop returning to Louisiana:

From the film’s title through out the film music is beautifully used, with regular dollops of blues. Schickner’s Strange Fruit gets hold of you and doesn’t let go until it’s shocking end—a conclusion that deserves more time than it gets. For those who feel there is one acceptable bigotry—that is bias against against GLBT people—I suspect that Schickner felt only a punch to the gut might open minds. Strange Fruit is solid entertainment for straight and gay audiences alike with marvelous performances by actors that Hollywood should be making more scripts for.
