The passionate relationship between two men with unusual consequences. The film is divided in two parts.

Longing Without a Name — Queer Asian Cinema 1 members · 8 movies

From Wong Kar-wai's Buenos Aires to Park Chan-wook's colonial Korea, queer desire in Asian cinema often arrives oblique, repressed, devastating, gorgeous. Farewell My Concubine's doomed love across decades of upheaval. Happy Together's toxic tango 18,000 km from home. The Handmaiden's electric, layered con game. Tropical Malady's mythic dissolution into the jungle. This flock is the canon — and a very good argument that Asian cinema does queer storytelling better than almost anyone.
