saw atomic blonde by myself in a theatre of hets in the middle of the night and let me just say watching THE lesbian in the film get brutally murdered in one of the most violent ways i’ve ever seen onscreen really um what’s the word traumatized me for life
uhm boost
So yeah, I saw it yesterday, and yes: Delphine, a woman who actively pursues and has sex with Lorraine, is strangled to death after a physical fight. I’m also v sorry that this caught the OP off-guard in a miserable-causing/triggering way - that sucks, and what’s triggery is triggery; there is no question about “should” or “shouldn’t” that way.
However, I’ve seen this reblogged several times on my list and it’s really misleading about the nature of the film.
To give context (as a queer woman who has seen the film), with some extensive spoilers (because it’s not just “kill the lesbian!” and I’ve seen this multiple times on my reading list and it would be TRAGIC if people I know might get that impression did and thus avoided the movie), the tl;dr version is compared to the other violence in the movie actually Delphine’s death isn’t that bad I’m going to be VERY BLUNT about that; and that you can sort of argue she’s the only lesbian in the movie you CANNOT argue she’s the only queer woman in the movie.
And the OTHER queer woman in the movie both lives and EMPHATICALLY triumphs, hands down.
