Vice: "'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ Belongs to Bisexuals—Fight Me"

As a bisexual cinephile, I find myself queering most films I watch. Unless and until I’m told otherwise, all movie characters are bi. Still, some movies stand apart. Not because they explicitly embrace queerness, but because they  feel queer on some deeper level. They exhibit queer themes, queer aesthetics, queer politics.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.  is one such queerable film. A remake of the 1964 series of the same name (which itself didn’t exactly scream "straight"), the film exudes bisexual ene...
