My only regret with this film is that at sixty or so minutes its too short and I wanted more.

This short film is worth a watch nearly 30 years on. I'm glad my local library did a showing for "pride season" (how much the cultural framing of queerness has changed since 1995.) Come for the grimy 90s Tokyo vibe and excellent fashion, stay for the subtle and reserved observational documentary style.
