Published simultaneously as Journal Of Homosexuality, volume 39, number 3/4 (2000), this collection brings together experts in film- making and movie criticism to examine the aesthetics and politics of homosexuality in Asian films. From the subversive sadomasochism of Japan's "pink films" to the hard-boiled world of Hong Kong gangster flicks, this book analyzes and discusses attitudes toward homosexuality in the full spectrum of Asian film. In addition to studies of the representation of identified gay men, lesbians, and transgendered people, it reveals the hidden homoerotic subtext of otherwise conventional films.
