<DIV id=yiv1570280925>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></table>
