Rough Sketch of a Spiral 1991
Rough Sketch of a Spiral
The first gay Japanese documentary, Rough Sketch of a Spiral, takes an intimate look at the personal lives of gay men in Osaka. The star is 25-year-old Yoshiichi Yano who has written a play he hopes will open the public’s eyes to the status of gays in contemporary Japan, a society with deep-rooted prejudices against homosexuality. With abundant humor and nonchalant candor, director Yasufumi Kojima follows the day-to-day efforts of Yano to produce his play while introducing us to Yano’s friends and actors in the play, including a stunning drag queen and a charming 60-year-old man who claims to be gay but a virgin.
