"My name is Harvey Milk and I'm here to recruit you!"

Gus Van Sant's Milk is an incisive and stirring dramatisation of the heroic life and violent death of 1970's gay activist Harvey Milk. Van Sant's magnificent biopic of indelible power is infused with a masterful and vibrant recreation of a tumultuous era that throbs with heart, humour and anguish. This engrossing, multi-layered h... read more

Mr. Milk (1930-1978) was an activist and politician, and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in America; in 1977, he was voted to the city supervisors’ board of San Francisco. The following year, both he and the city’s mayor George Moscone were shot to death by another city supervisor, Dan White. Mr. Milk was previously the subject of the Academy Award-winning documentary feature “The Times of Harvey Milk,” but “Milk” – filmed on location in San Francisco – is the first non-documentary fea ...

Best Picture Nominees (in Ten Sentences) (478 movies items)

"There have been several films and documentaries about the life of openly gay San Francisco politician Harvey Milk. However, given his counterculturalist views and inception as one of the key figures in the Queer Eye cinema, Gus Van Sant seemed to be the ideal choice to direct the biopic. "Milk" follows the gay rights activist and politician (Sean Penn) from his path to the Board of Supervisors to his quarrel with conservative member of District 7 Dan White (Josh Brolin) to his assassination alon"
