(Mu) Kiarostami in 90s Tokyo, an old man decides to live the extreme double life of a hooker with a naif but violent boyfriend...and he is serene ans passionate about it...

(Mu) Rohmer proving nothing, as nothing is the favorite word of the characters. To fiends insult and play with a girl stronger than them, and the hero remains alone, with a broken chinese jar...

(OK) Even with no subtitles, so adult, straigh, castrati exploitation, good acting (Vittorio Caprioli as Matteuccio is excellent), transgender in a unique way; brilliant in every aspect, including hairstyling (the giant 'perruque' of Anouk Aimée), a surprise...In Rome ypu buy 'tuto' says Ferrari...

(Mu) British realism at its best, in just one situation, a mother that dates her old flame hiding his 3 sons outside the disco....and its convincing
