Hi, there!
I was wondering if you had some sort of a list of long-lenght GL movies from any Asian country. I've either found short films on GagaOOLala, or very few titles at all.
Hi! There are lots of movies and many good lists to find online, especially on Letterboxd. Here are some I've watched and would recommend:
Blue (2002), dir. Hiroshi Ando
An introverted schoolgirl falls in love and starts a relationship with one of her classmates. Set in a small seaside town in Japan.
Saving Face (2004), dir. Alice Woo
A Chinese-American lesbian and her traditionalist mother are reluctant to go public with secret loves that clash against cultural expectations.
The Handmaiden (2016), dir. Park Chan-wook
In 1930s Korea, a swindler and a young woman pose as a Japanese count and a handmaiden to seduce a Japanese heiress and steal her fortune.
Billie & Emma (2018), dir. Samantha Lee
Billie, a teenage rockstar, moves to the province and meets Emma, a model and almost perfect example of a good daughter. They go through the experience of first love.
Moonlit Winter (2019), dir. Lim Dae-hyung
The arrival of an intimate letter prompts a young woman to bring her mother on vacation to a small Japanese town, where someone special resides.
Badhaai Do (2022), dir. Harshavardhan Kulkarni
A gay cop and a lesbian teacher enter a sham marriage to pacify their families but find that relationships — both real and fake — aren’t all that easy.
Maja Ma (2022), dir. Anand Tiwari
A rumour about an unassuming housewife threatens to disrupt her middle-class family’s life on the eve of her son’s engagement.
Rookie (2023), dir. Samantha Lee
An awkward 6-footer teen is forced to learn and play volleyball half-heartedly when the Catholic school she transferred to did not have a basketball team. Everything changes when she meets her star player.
