Sexual minorities who retire often find themselves in different states of loneliness because of prejudice and inadequacies in laws to protect them. Many feel uncertain about their retirement. The film\u2019s director wanted people to see how happy the Platinum generation live their lives, so that they would have less worries about their future. The director also wants the audience to listen to their stories, and learn that the understanding in society about sexual minorities is changing bit by bit, and that our future is getting better.<\/p>\n<p>\nDirector\uff1aTsuyoshi SHOJI<br \/>\n2023\uff5cJapan\uff5c10 min\uff5cJapanese<br \/>\n[Documentary] \/ [G]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1217\" src=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LivingThrough_sub1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"49%\" height=\"\" style=\"padding-right: 2%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1217\" src=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LivingThrough_sub2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"49%\" height=\"\" \/><br \/>\n(c)Minomushi Films<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<hr class=\"design_line\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"catch_2023\">Normal<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1217\" src=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Normal_main.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"well2\">It\u2019s spring.

The plot is based on a collage of interviews and stories that circulated in the authors\u2019 surroundings. The fictional setting creates conditions in which issues that would otherwise be repressed in a kind of self-censorship can be expressed relentlessly.<br \/>\nThe two main characters speak of shame, secrecy, and the impossibility of unfolding in ways they demand of themselves. The ideal of openness unwittingly becomes a burden for the protagonists. Berlin is not the imagined place of longing, and the freedom they envisioned is in fact their entry into a fierce economy of self-assertion.\u2026\u2026\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\nDirector\uff1aNom de Guerre (Sugano MATSUSAKI \/ Jonas Beile)<br \/>\n2022\uff5cGermany\uff5c30 min\uff5cJapanese<br \/>\n[Drama] \/ [L]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1217\" src=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GmtPlus9_sub1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"49%\" height=\"\" style=\"padding-right: 2%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1217\" src=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GmtPlus9_sub2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"49%\" height=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 770px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-2820-6\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GMT9_.mp4?_=6\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GMT9_.mp4\">https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GMT9_.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/p>\n<hr class=\"design_line\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"catch_2023\">STRANGE<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1217\" src=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Strange_main.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"well2\">One evening a shy suburban Tokyo high school student, Odeko, meets a tearful Kuma dressed in drag in a park.<br \/>\nAs their earnest friendship develops, Kuma&#8217;s struggle to live confidently with himself changes Odeko&#8217;s timidity as well.<\/p>\n<p>\nDirector\uff1aKen OCHIAI<br \/>\n2023\uff5cJapan\uff5c15 min\uff5cJapanese<br \/>\n[Drama] \/ [G]<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1217\" src=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Strange_sub1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"49%\" height=\"\" style=\"padding-right: 2%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1217\" src=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Strange_sub2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"49%\" height=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 770px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-2820-7\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Strange-Trailer.mp4?_=7\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Strange-Trailer.mp4\">https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Strange-Trailer.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/p>\n<hr class=\"design_line\" \/>\n<p class=\"programfm-textlink-2023\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/schedule_en\/\">Schedule<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"programfm-button-2023\" href=\"https:\/\/rainbowreeltokyo.com\/2023web\/en\/ticket-2\/\">Ticket<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rainbow Reel Competition 2023 We have a wonderful selection of Japanese films this year!
