NOTES

Title from title frames

Newly restored in 4K, David Buckley's landmark excursion into bisexuality, 70s relationship politics, and the historical importance of gay bathhouse culture is celebrated in his 1975 film Saturday Night at the Baths. When struggling pianist Michael lands a job at the legendary Continental Baths in NYC, his wife Tracy encourages him, even emphasizes how special this institution is. Michael however struggles with his own homophobia yet at the same time starts developing feelings for his confident and sexually free co-worker Scotti. Shot on-location inside the famous Continental Baths and featuring an unforgettable 12-minute scene of the actual entertainment, both musical and sensual alike, SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE BATHS is a sublime example of the compelling and sensual queer cinema of one of the most groundbreaking periods in gay and bisexual film history
