Gays in Wonderland

About This Movie

Gays in Wonderland is a curious mix of action and comedy that really captures the vibrant energy of the late '90s queer subculture. Directed by Kyoko Godai, it features Kiyomi Ito in a role that feels very much like an extension of her own involvement in the gay film scene. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that somehow adds to its charm. Keiko Sorbonne's character, overflowing with charisma, gives a nod to the manga influence that's so prevalent in queer storytelling. It's not just a film; it's a snapshot of a time when gay narratives were beginning to gain visibility, layered with practical effects that are quite unique for its time. Performances are engaging, often blurring the lines between scripted and spontaneous, making it a bold piece within the genre.
