See below for additional related events
A Korean fashion photographer (Kim Min-Joon) on assignment in Japan is drawn into a fraught triangle with his old friend (Soji Arai) and a young male escort (Hoshi Ishida), as desire and professional curiosity start to blur.
An early feature, this Korean-Japanese co-production already shows Hamaguchi’s feel for relationships and desires built around glances, misread signals and half-spoken needs. The palpable queer tension threads through conversations that never fully align, with mistranslations and tonal slips underlining the film’s unease.
