Attention everyone, Italian Cine has entered the chat!
Dear readers, you have no idea that shock I got when I realized that I have not seen any gay movies from Italy! I combed through my posts, used all tag searches but all I managed to dig up were series, not movies! I lost sleep on this trying to see if my mind will reveal some hidden memories of an Italian movie I have seen before but forgot to write about, but I came away with nothing!
I was shocked!
This is not to say that there no Italian gay movies! I just haven’t come across them yet! In case you were wondering, this is your queue to recommend me some if you have.
Whatever the case, I have finally come across one and let me tell you all, it was a homerun! Continue reading →
There are only two anime series I am currently watching with one being Hibike Euphonium and the other being the subject of today’s post – Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai.
Why Hibike you ask, well, I am all grown up now and I no longer see the hustle in crying about past things, so what if the studio is still queer-baiting in 2024, who gives a tick when Reina is out here doing her best to make gold out of shit!
And let’s be honest, Kumiko and the Dude’s relationship went nowhere so fast everyone even Kumiko is trying their best to forget it existed!
Anyway, back to the subject at hand, we are only 7 episodes in, just like Hibike, and I am in deep love with this anime!
Seriously, I expected something silly, which is what I think of current anime but the sincerity of this show surprised me! They are tackling very real life issues, be in in the idol world, parenthood, childhood, school life, career life, future dreams!
Like, I am still shocked by it!
And while that is all well and good, I wouldn’t be talking about it without the gayness and even that is being handled realistically!
I don’t believe I am saying this but if they go through with Yoru (Mahiru) and Kano’s relationship, this is going to be on the list of my favourite couples of all time. It will make me give Japan more focused attention! After the last Gundam series and that Yurika series, I think they have finally realised the value in taking gay relationships seriously.
Heh, can you imagine if Hibike actually puts in the work and give us a serious relationship with Kumiko and Reina? That would be the final hammer!
But, no need to get ahead of ourselves and even Yoru no Kurage is merely beginning but even that be the case, I am thoroughly enjoying it! It’s been a while since I followed a series episode by episode.
I just love Yoru and Kano’s relationship and I love what everyone experiences in life even the other characters! They are all so real that you can’t help nodding your head as you watch and wanting to support them because you have been there, you understand and when a show handles these issues with an iron hand how can one not love and support such characters and such story!
This sincerity has got me curious as to how they are going to handle Yoru and Kano’s relationship. At the moment they are playing it off as one does when they aren’t sure how to handle things but the moment will come when they have to face up and I am waiting to see how that is handled!
Not worried at all though because I trust that the show will handle it with sincerity just like they have other aspects of the characters’ lives!
The two are already miles ahead because they have the one thing I love in couples – both parties affecting each other’s lives! Kano has already drastically changed Yoru’s life and vice versa Yoru is about to change Kano’s life, nay, she already has even with Kano not knowing it!
I lover them!
I will update when the series is over but for now, back to religiously following the series!
And all it took was two movie and two series that were just made for me because they hit just the right spots.
Like, do you ever just watch that certain series or movie that brings you back to life because of how frikkin good it is to you personally?
Well, these four projects did that for me!
23.5
The first series is of course 23.5 from Thailand and currently airing, as well as being put up on YouTube every Fridays. It’s just too damn cute, very spicy of life (not a typo) and all around a feel-good series. There was some low-level drama, but it did not last. I am waiting for MY MARVELLOUS DREAM IS YOU to get some real drama! That series, I fear, is going to be the true rival series to GAP!
23.5 is the kind of yuri that I have always been into, you know, the soft, feel good kind. We will definitely be talking about this later.
But what first really tickled my barren heart was the obscure Korean series which aired at the end of last year and is what we are here today to talk about and that’s BITCH x RICH!
Now, before you go off hunting and then end up disappointed, I must tell you now that it is not a yuri series (Not yet anyway, as far as I am concerned)!
BITCH x RICH
What is that you ask? Well, that right there is the title of the series that rocked my world! It came out towards the end of last year but like I said, under my radar! What about it, that is so ground-breaking? Absolutely nothing really! Most would argue it is not gay! But if you know me, I guess therein lies the reason! But before we get into it, there are also two movies that doubled down on the addiction!
DRIVE AWAY DOLLS
and
THE BEAUTIFUL FOREST
That’s right, two movies that just got released or are still in cinemas as I write this. Starting with DRIVE AWAY DOLLS, starring fan favourite Margaret Qualley as Jamie and the totally hooking new face Geraldine Viswanathan as Marian!
This movie is frikkin unique and so damn perfect! I adore it in every way! I saw the signs and set expectations which are normally let down due to my over ambitiousness, but this movie not only brought everything full circle and granted my wish, but they did it so perfectly without any eye-rolling moments of, oh God, so cliche!
Then we have THE BEAUTIFUL FOREST, the best frikkin Italian lesbian movie I have ever seen! Now that we are mentioning it, I cannot on the top of my head, think of an Italian movie that has been mentioned on my blog! There are series but no movies! Could it be, my Italian kino cherry has finally been popped!!?
This movie has the most romantic dance scene with any couple ever! And I have seen Henry & June! Believe it all not, it topped the aforementioned without even relying on kisses! That scene was so damn good! Will never be forgotten! I have it in the same category as The Handmaiden’s tooth scene!
So, as you can see, after these three projects I just could not stay in hibernation anymore! I just had to come back to the world of the living and share my excitement, as is always the case!
