I left some information, immages, and video previews of The Watermelon Woman below.
Summary of The Watermelon Woman:
Cheryl Dunye has transcended the usual pitfalls that pockmark most lesbian-themed movies: specifically, the usual angst and suffering that occur when the gay gal falls for a heterosexual friend. The Watermelon Woman is more a cultural document, addressing speculative sociological gay history themes with an interesting and engaging cover story about a video store clerk named Cheryl (played by Dunye) who, in her research for a movie, comes across an old-time black actress simply called "the watermelon woman" and becomes obsessed with her persona. In the process, Cheryl finds herself embroiled in a relationship that parallels that of her icon.
What makes The Watermelon Woman special is its layered story line and its willingness to present its characters as comically flawed. Dunye also creates an aura of mystique around the enigmatic watermelon woman, and her life and tribulations become fascinating to the viewer. Even Camille Paglia shows up to make commentary about the "actress," and while the story-within-a-story concept is tricky, the power and purpose of the movie emerges, and the character becomes as fascinating as if she were flesh and blood. --Paula Nechak

I really loved the movie The Watermelon Woman. I really enjoyed watching V.S. Brodie in this movie. I also think Lisa Marie Bronson was great!
I think V.S. Brodie and Lisa Marie Bronson worked wonderful in The Watermelon Woman. The great supporting cast includes V.S. Brodie, Lisa Marie Bronson, Cheryl Clarke, Emmy Collins, Irene Dunye.
