The B Word explores the ways bisexual fantasy opens a space for bi-curious engagement,
creating a fluid range of identifications and pleasures. In films as diverse as Brokeback
Mountain, The Wedding Crashers, Persona, Chasing Amy, and Mulholland Drive, Maria
San Filippo finds that bisexual tropes reveal the workings of our culture's logic
of desire. Viewing these and other films through a bisexual lens, which views subjectivity
and eroticism as malleable, The B Word transforms understandings of films previously
read exclusively as either homosexual or heterosexual. As San Filippo's analysis of
the promotion and popular reception of these films reveals, the entertainment industry
both exploits and effaces bisexuality in its appeal to diverse audiences
