Abstract
It is a well-known secret that Japanese filmmaker Kinoshita Keisuke had homosexual leanings and that some of his films include strongly intimate moments between male characters whose relationships appear rather homoerotic from our current perspective. A queer rereading of these works helps contemporary audiences to understand better how his queer sensibility sheds light on queer characters already in Japanese cinema in the 1950s.
