Gay folklore and the art of story telling live in in Jeffery. Funny and moving.
Rating: 5 / 5
I love this documentary! While riding in the back seat of a black ’50′s cadillac, Jeffrey Strouth recounts his life growing up gay in a white trash Southern setting, tossing down shots of whiskey. As the liquor takes effect, the stories get crazier and darker, yet completely believable. Jeffrey charges into situations most would try to avoid.
He recounts his life up through the 80′s club scene, offering a timecapsule of life in the drug-crazed fast lane. Although he must know he’s dying, Jeffrey keeps his chin up and the tales have a bittersweet edge revealing his sweet, caring nature underneath it all.
