Before You Know It is a 2013 documentary directed by PJ Raval following the lives of three gay seniors as they navigate the adventures, challenges and surprises of life and love in their golden years. Formerly known lovingly as Untitled Gay Retiree Documentary.

Synopsis

The subjects of Before You Know It are no ordinary senior citizens. They are go-go booted bar-hoppers, love struck activists, troublemaking baton twirlers, late night Internet cruisers, seasoned renegades and bold adventurers. They are also among the estimated 2.4 million LGBT Americans over the age of 55 in the U.S. many of whom face heightened levels of discrimination, neglect and exclusion. But Before You Know It is not a film about cold statistics, it’s a film about generational trailblazers who have surmounted prejudice and defied expectation to form communities of strength, renewal and camaraderie. Before You Know It focuses on the lives of three gay seniors, but reminds us that while LGBT elders face a specific set of issues, aging and its challenges are universal. An affirmation of life and human resilience told with a refreshing humor and candor, Before You Know It confirms that you are never too old to reshape society.

Dès sa plus tendre enfance à Alger, Marie-Pierre ne veut s’habiller qu’en robe et refuse obstinément son prénom de naissance : Jean-Pierre. A 17 ans, sa vie bascule lorsqu’elle découvre la revue d’un cabaret de travestis en tournée : le Carrousel de Paris. En quelques années, elle devient « Bambi », figure mythique des cabarets parisiens des années 50-60. En recueillant le témoignage d’une des premières transsexuelles françaises, Sébastien Lifshitz poursuit le travail entamé avec « Les Invisibles » et trace le destin d’une personnalité hors du commun.

Le film montre comment le cinéma hollywoodien a évoqué le thème de l’homosexualité, comment cette représentation a évolué au fil des ans et comment, en retour, elle a influencé la perception de l’homosexualité par le grand public.
