The Great Happiness Space

Rating: 8

I don't usually include rentals here but I think this one deserves a plug. It's a documentary about male escorts in Osaka who cater to young Japanese women, who pay them tens of thousands of dollars a night just to flirt. It's completely incomprehensible from our cultural perspective, and totally fascinating. The male escorts are extremely effeminate too, which makes the whole thing even more bizarre, though the question of their sexuality is never addressed in the movie. Check it out on Netflix!!!!
