Beautiful Mystery

Unknown Treasures of Japanese Film

Nakamura Genji, noted commercial, feature and adult film maker presents his first "Pink Film," a radical look at gay sexuality in Japan.

Shinohara, a young bodybuilder, joins a para-military sect in northern Japan. His instructor, Takizawa, takes a liking to the new recruit. After an early "special" training session the two develop a lasting and loving relationship.

Beautiful Mystery was the first gay "adult" film to come out of Japan. Although tame by U.S. standards, it is ground-breaking nonetheless.
