Chapter 61 Chapter 11 The Cultural Revolution

Carmen Maura stars in the film as a man who has undergone sex change surgery, despairs of men because of an unhappy and abnormal relationship with his or her father, and instead has a female relationship with another woman. A homosexual (I presume) relationship, the latter played by a well-known deranged drag woman in Madrid. —Paul Berman, "Village Voice" film review (Village Voice, 1987, p. 572) The success of a demonstration does not lie in the number of people mobilized, but in the intensity with which it attracts media attention.As long as 50 smart guys succeed in building up momentum, and there is a 5-minute report on TV, its political effect is no less than—maybe a little exaggerated—500,000 demonstrators.

——Pierre Bourdieu (1994)
