A Touch Of Fever
Release year: 1993
Country: Japan
An audacious teen
movie from Japan, concentrating on a bored middle-class quartet:
two hustlers, Tatsuro and Shin, and their two female best friends.
Tatsuro is the better hustler. He spends his days skipping school
or coolly entertaining clients; but when Shin declares his love
for him, Tatsuro has to enter the real world . . . A Touch Of
Fever is a raw, honest movie about the loves and loneliness
of Tokyo late teens.

Twinkle
Release year:
Country: Japan
A hugely entertaining
comedy-drama that features a closeted gay doctor and an alcoholic
young woman who are forced by their "concerned" parents
into an arranged marriage. The man drops his college student lover
for the sake of conformity while the woman takes the marriage
in stride, not expecting sex and hitting the bottle with wreckless
abandon. But when she encourages her husband to resume his affair
with his lover, he, the lover and both sets of parents are thrown
into a tailspin. This comedic melodrama is great fun, offering
both a rarely glimpsed view of the "new Japanese woman"
as well as depicting a fair, balanced view of a gay relationship.
