Uncle Denis?

Directed by an unknown filmmaker, 'Uncle Denis?' focuses on Denis Charles Pratt, better known as Quentin Crisp. Crisp was a writer, artist's model, actor, and a prominent gay icon, particularly after his memoir 'The Naked Civil Servant' was published in 1968. The documentary seeks to understand how Crisp's public persona intersects with his family life.

The film employs a mix of photographs, home movies, and interviews with Crisp's relatives to explore themes of familial memory-making and public image. It reflects on the complexities of being a self-made man in the 20th century and how those complexities resonate within family dynamics. Collectors of LGBTQ-themed documentaries and those interested in the intersection of public and private identities may find this film particularly engaging.
