We are so excited to hear that Gengoroh Tagame has made his first plunge into screenwriting. The resulting film Berlin Drifters looks absolutely stunning. From German film producers Jürgen Brüning (the same people who brought you Bruce La Bruce flicks like Raspberry Reich and Otto; or, Up with Dead People) comes a tale of lustful desperation and abandonment for a young Japanese man in the streets of a foreign city. 

Read a great review here in The Hollywood Reporter. No news yet on US screenings, but keep an ear out!
