3.0 out of 5 stars Purity of love, 10 April 2008
By D. Elliot "Abolish the A.o.C." (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
If you are familiar with Manga-style boylove comics, the plot of 'Boys Love' (Japanese, English subtitles) will offer no great surprises. An inexperienced, 20-something magazine editor, Mamiya, is assigned the task of interviewing Noél - an arrogant young male model still in high school. In an apparently eye-opening, first such experience for the editor, he is seduced by the teen model (inexplicably played by a 20-something actor) in the toilets of a restaurant. Increasingly captivated by the beautiful but enigmatic Noél, Mamiya discovers that the young model uses promiscuity to escape an inner sadness, and he attempts to be a steadying mentor to the teen: encouraging Noél to keep up with his school work, and to stop sleeping around. The pair fall in love, only to be faced with the machinations of a jealous school friend of Noél's, who sets out to destroy their happiness.

The theme of "Boys Love" is the 'purity' of male-male love - nakedly emphasized by the occasional floating across the screen of literary quotes from the likes of Shakespeare, Hemingway and Stendhal. While the young actors do a decent job with the material available to them, the plot is pure melodrama, as contrived and simplistic as the characters. It might be argued that some of the Japanese cultural nuances just did not translate into a Western viewing - although Takashi Miike's superb and beautiful "Big Bang Love, Juvenile A" faced no such limitations. Consequently, we must take 'Boys Love' at face value, and conclude simply that is it absent complexity.

Lest this come across as too harsh, "Boys Love" is in fact an entertaining film, with an attractive cast and heavy drama. It is also clear that the director was sincere about portraying the beauty and passion of homosexual love. For an hour and a half's entertainment, the film is highly watchable...just don't expect too great a challenge.

DVD Special Features include a 15-minute 'Making of' documentary, photo gallery, and trailers for other Picture This! releases.
