Tokyo Gay and Lesbian Film Festival

[Jonathan M Hall]

I checked with the Festival staff.  Neither screening appears likely  
to sell out.
Like Markus, I'm excited to see one film with two different benshi  
narrations so close together.
Perhaps it's the closest we can get to the old benshi contests of  
prewar days.
