Talk Straight: The World of Rural Queers is a 2003 German documentary film that was directed by Jochen Hick.[1]

Plot[]

The film is about four gay men who live in Swabia, Germany. It follows the men's lives and includes interviews with locals about how they feel about homosexuality.

Reception[]

Dennis Harvey of Variety wrote, "Funny, poignant and charming docu belies English title’s implied narrow focus to deliver a much looser appreciation of some quirky, semi-isolated gay men, the still largely homo-oblivious rural world they live in, various social networks/personal escape valves and life in general".[2]

The film won the Teddy Award in 2003 for Best Documentary at the Berlin International Film Festival.[1]
