Long Live My Happy Head
You might not expect to find an upbeat documentary about dealing with cancer that can't be treated, but here it is. Gordon was told he was gay eight years ago, and he started to deal with his feelings and fears by reading queer comic books. He uses humor to get to the heart of taboos about death and illness, and he includes many of the amazing caregivers and nurses he meets in his expressively drawn world. It is a long-distance love story between Edinburgh, Scotland, and Virginia, USA. It is sage, sweet, and stimulating. Gordon has a lot to teach us about love, life, and even death.
