Directed by Kohtaro Terauchi
In this romance, conservative, young, magazine editor Mamiya (Yoshikazu Kotani) sets out to profile teen model Noel (Takumi Saitoh). At Noel's apartment, Mamiya becomes taken with the young man and his artwork. The two continue their interview in an upscale restaurant. A relationship develops between the usually straight-laced Mamiya and irresponsible pretty-boy Noel, but it’s a relationship fraught with peril. Jealous schoolmates, too much booze, random men, and the demands of career conspire to test whether a BOYS LOVE can survive.
85 min. / in Japanese with English subtitles / letterboxed
"Deeply romantic! With sharply drawn characters!"
Lawrence Ferber, PHILLY FESTS
"The beauty of the actors in the movie is what makes it so special."
Amos Lassen, CINEMA PRIDE
"The romance between Taishin and Noel is surprisingly chaste and full of honor."
Laura Tiffany, HOME MEDIA MAGAZINE
“Noel is played by Takumi Saitoh, and it’s to his credit that he hold(s) the screen and sometimes our hopes as he lopes and leers and sneers and looks out at the camera and other actors with big Bambi deer eyes (with long hair falling in them) in a way that makes us indeed care and wonder what (is) behind his Bad Boy behavior.”
Rob Lester, EDGE BOSTON
“The actors are good, and Kotani actually is quite adorable!”
