The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (2010)

There is one thing that I wish for. There is one thing without which my happiness in this world seems impossible. I was not born to live alone. I must have someone with me. And in loving and being loved, I could be happy.

The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister

&quot;I love and only love the fairer sex . . .&quot;

&quot;I love and only love the fairer sex, and thus beloved by them in turn, my heart revolts from any love but theirs.&quot; - Anne Lister, Journals, Oct 29, 1820

The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (2010) (TV) was written by Jane English and directed by James Kent. This film is a biography, because Anne Lister [1791 - 1840] was, indeed, a historical figure who managed to live her life as a happy and fulfilled lesbian. 

Moreover, Ms. Lister did keep voluminous diaries. Only a small portion of the diaries were actual secret--i.e. written in code. Anne Lister was so intelligent that the code she devised wasn&apos;t deciphered for almost 100 years. The encoded part of the diary described Anne Lister&apos;s romantic and sexual experiences.

By a combination of enormous intelligence, class privilege, and unbreakable will, Anne Lister was able to maintain a lesbian life style in a society where such behavior was rarely tolerated.

This is an excellent film, with strong performances from all the actors, and an absolutely stellar performance from Maxine Peake as Anne. Because it&apos;s a BBC production, the production values are high and the costumes and location shots are entrancing. 

Obviously, this movie was made for TV, so it will work well on the small screen. However, it is really glorious on the large screen, which is how we saw it. The film was shown at the Dryden Theatre, as the closing night offering of the terrific ImageOut: Rochester Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. Don&apos;t miss this movie!
