Movie Reviews of Okoge
Movie Review: Interesting
Summary: 4 Stars
Japan's teeming if still underground gay life is explored and celebrated in this pleasant story of the relationship between two gay lovers and the effervescent woman who befriends them. The story revolves around Goh, a young, self-employed man, and Tochi, an older married corporate worker. Their inability to find a suitable location for their lovemaking is solved by Sayoko, a naive young woman who inexplicably finds herself drawn to gay men. She offers her small apartment as a convenient love-pad. Funny but deceptively lighthearted, the film addresses the serious theme of homophobia which is pervading Japan. A note on the title: Okama is Japanese for a rice pot and a slang insult against gays; Okoge is the rice that sticks to the bottom of a pot and is Japanese slang for "fag hag." (Japanese with English subtitles)
