I would suggest Okoge (1992, Nakajima Takehiro) and the documentary Rasen no sobyo (1991, Kojima Yasufumi). For those who can read Italian, and interesting essay has been published in AsiaMedia at <a href="http://venus.unive.it/asiamed/vetrina/proposte/omosessualita.html">http://venus.unive.it/asiamed/vetrina/proposte/omosessualita.html</a><div><br></div><div><br><div>

<div id="ecxyiv1570280925">Oshima's Gohatto has been mentioned, but many other Oshima films depict gay or queer characters; the Korean conscript who performs a harakiri after sodomizing a dutch prisoner of war in Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, the Catholic priest in Death by Hanging, and the opening scene of In the Realm of the Senses. <br><br>Also, there is a lesbian couple in Jissouji's Typhoon Club.----------------------------------------<br></div></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></div><br></div> <br /><hr />Get a free e-mail account with Hotmail. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/197222280/direct/01/' target='_new'>Sign-up now.</a></body>
