Putting on the Dish is a wonderfully sharp British gay short film built around two men speaking Polari on a park bench in 1962. Brian Fairbairn and Karl Eccleston use the coded language for more than novelty, turning a funny conversation into a compact portrait of secrecy, community and the complicated ways oppression can shape behaviour.
