​The death of a young gay man in Tokyo prompts two friends to recollect the time they spent with him, in Akihiro Suzuki's 1999 drama.

​Takachi, a young gay porn star, is found dead in Tokyo. At his wake, two of his friends, Reiko and Shinpei, recollect their time together, attempting to piece together fragments of Takachi’s life. Interweaving past and present, memories and stories, Looking for an Angel is a quintessential example of Japan’s dynamic queer cinema scene. 

Please note this film contains nudity, sexual violence, discussion of suicide and references to homophobia.
