Review of Queer Japan (2020) by Owen Gleiberman for Variety — 16 Dec 2020
I wish that “Queer Japan” had delved more into historical matters of fashion and androgyny, or into the life of someone like Yukio Mishima. It’s a very present-tense movie, but how did the movements on display evolve? Kolbeins would have done well to show us.
Instead, he presents a snapshot of a revolution in midair, leaping to find a form for how to remake the future.
