Josephine Lohoar Self<\/a>\u2019s, \u201cThe Fabric of You\u201d<\/em> is a heartfelt portrayal of the severe grief suffered by Michael after he loses his lover Isaac. Set in the 50s, Michael is a quiet seamstress, an anthropomorphic mouse who resides in the Bronx. Isaac enters his life as an inquisitive customer who admires and appreciates the craft and skill that Michael puts into his garments. They have a warm conversation about fashion, the contrast between hiding and expressing. The theme of identity is raised throughout the film. In the character design; human bodies with mouse heads almost like they\u2019re wearing masks. The uniformed trench coat, trilby hat style of the 50s shows the need to conform. In the end scene Michael puts on Isaac\u2019s coat as he goes to reconcile himself to him. The tender display of two men in love pushes against the constraints of their society and is a much needed take on sexuality in that era.<\/p>\n
