  CAIN: Events: Bloody Sunday - Summary of Event

 Sunday Bloody Sunday Movie Review at Hollywood Video
Another one of the year's most impressive pictures was John Schlesinger's Sunday Bloody Sunday, a quiet masterpiece notable not only for its rare emotional depth but for its startlingly progressive portrayal of gay- and bi-male sexuality.
In Sunday Bloody Sunday, the men's sexuality is almost beside the point, just a matter of fact—to themselves and everyone around them.
Maybe it was because director Schlesinger himself was gay, or because it was a European production, but whatever the case, the film was a milestone with regard to presenting gay characters who weren't fey, pathetic, or grotesque (especially coming just a year after then-landmark Boys in the Band, which included all those caricatures).

 Truth and justice slug it out at Bloody Sunday inquiry | Special reports | The Observer
The slaughter that became known as 'Bloody Sunday' was shown on television around the world and put Britain in the international dock.
