The movie that opened a new field of BL-science
Yes, we now have to study dance power-dynamics and dance-move innuendos to fully appreciate BL and that's fine.
BL has always been a field that thrives on hidden context (See: Untamed) and I think this movie has a lot to find in it for those willing to learn.
Where the story may sometimes skip some beats words-wise, the dance shown is basically its own language that that gives important clues on where the relationship is. In this movie, dance-language is stronger than words.
The actors are phenomenal and show off in ways rarely ever seen before in Japanese BL history. The sets and cinematography are gorgeous. Nobody could imagine this is where we would be at in 2025 when 2020 Machida Keita entered the JBL scene but here we are. I'd love to see a sequel of our grim reaper & angel dance duo.
