Review of Manji (1964) by Gary G — 14 Jun 2007
Greatest lesbian film ever made! Watch how a supposedly repressed culture outdoes Sirk for OTT melodrama. And yet the film is all the repressions (self-imposed included) that render us so unknowable to one another.
A perfect reminder of how cinema can take places we couldn't see and hear. The last line (the heroine in close up but her face turned away) is a cold, wet towel snapped against your heart.
