Shinjuku Boys

WLV’s monthly queer movie meetup SunGays celebrates AANHPI Heritage Month with this Japanese doc about three trans-masculine hosts at Tokyo’s New Marilyn Club. Released in the mid-Nineties to posi reception – including an Outstanding Documentary win from the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Film Festival – the film focuses on the self-referenced “onabe” and their experience with romantic and familial relationships and gender presentation. A good watch for the Ouran High School Host Club fan who wants to understand real queered host club dynamics – or anyone who enjoys hot trans guys. Guilty! – James Scott
