Gohatto (Taboo)

I want to watch this movie.Its about homosexuality in the grand old days in Japan...And in the samurai clan to boot.This movie states that given the limited and almost no option to prge the unspoken desires...macho men of those times can bend their preferrence...





Heres the partial movie review taken from JINK


" At the temple Nishi-Honganji, the Shinsengumi militia is selecting new recruits. Commander Isami Kondo, (Yoichi Sai) and lieutenant Toshizo Hijikata (Beat Takeshi) are supervising the recruiting process. Those hoping to be chosen must face off the best man in the militia, Soji Okita (Shinji Takeda). Out of all the men present, only two are chosen: Hyozo Tashiro (Tadanobu Asano), a low-level samurai from the Kurume clan and Sozaburo Kano (Ryuhei Matsuda), a handsome young man whose looks are almost vampiric. Tashiro is immediately drawn to Kano who has the slight stature of a girl but the lethal arms of a seasoned swordsman. Lieutenant Hijikata notices these elements as well as the budding attraction of Tashiro. "
