<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Completely no expert here (I can't think
beyond Oshima's GOHATTO) but you should certain try to have a look at Imaizumi
Koichi's new Crazy Family/Pink/Gay hybrid THE FAMILY COMPLETE which just
premiered at HKIFF. Very ordinarily shot on video, but it develops into
an increasingly curious Jean Genet like comic allegorical about HIV. </font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Imaizumi has a background acting in
pink movies, but since the late 90s has been writing and directing first
Gay porn and then more recently gay-themed features like HATSU-KOI.</font>

Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I have a graduate student who wants to write on Japanese films dealing
<br>
with homo- or trans-sexuality but who is not terribly successful in <br>
finding films and sources. I am afraid my mind is blank and I cannot <br>
think of more than a handful of films (not pink or porn) in which <br>
homosexuality is a major theme and cannot recollect having read one book
<br>
or article on the subject.<br>
<br>
Film titles and reading suggestions (both English and Japanese) most <br>
welcome.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
