Go Fish Blu-ray Release Set for March 25 - Order Today!

Go Fish, the groundbreaking film by Rose Troche, hits the shelves in its first-ever standard Blu-ray edition on March 25. This influential piece of American indie cinema from 1994, starring Guinevere Turner, V.S. Brodie, T. Wendy McMillan, and Migdalia Melendez, remains a pivotal narrative in exploring queer identity.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of early 90s Chicago, Go Fish invites audiences into a refreshingly unfiltered romantic journey centered on Max, played by Turner herself. A young lesbian college student, Max finds herself in a prolonged romantic drought, until her roommate Kia intervenes, setting her up with Ely, an older woman who challenges her preconceptions of love and commitment.

Capturing an era and community often left out of mainstream narratives, this film earned its place in history with its DIY approach, filmed in stark black and white on 16mm. The fresh perspectives of largely unknown actors lent authenticity to its docu-drama feel.

Cinéematographe honors this classic by presenting a brand-new 4K restoration from the original negatives. Audiences will experience the film with improved clarity and additional insights into its creation through various newly added features and interviews.
