First Look: Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock

Advocate.com – By Corey Scholibo – An Advocate.com exclusive

Advocate.com’s exclusive first look at Ang Lee’s new film Taking Woodstock includes this photo of Liev Schreiber, who plays Vilma, a drag queen who serves as a bodyguard during the Woodstock festival. The film is based on the memoir by Elliot Tiber, the gay man who made one call and a few weeks later managed to stage one of the most defining cultural events in American history.

In this scene, which takes place about halfway through the film, Vilma is showing Elliot — played by Demetri Martin — a photo of himself and his lover when he was a marine in Korea.
