Not Your Average BL
Intro to this movie is a car driven by a man following another Attractive man -- the music which is a important passanger to this movie conveys the mood throughout -- the story arch is perfectly timed & the development carrys the viewer to it's emotional climax -- an ending giving hope that True Love exists but it exists in its ruthless selfish then beautiful passionate & undeniable way Back to climax there are alot of them in this film -- but not gratuitous -- without them an audience couldn't understand the emotional development and final exceptance of the main character Otamo nor would you understand the depth of Imagase's love for Otamo. Otamo is a married man that cannot be faithful to his wife & Imagase's the detective the wife has hired to reveal Otamo's infidelities -- of which it turns out are many In the meeting of the two men their roles are revealed and then the push and pull begins -- It feels like Imagase is aware on some level that Otamo's discontentment sexually is attributed to his denial of his true idenity -- Otamo is unable to make concrete decisions hence the title The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese -- won't go into anymore to do so would rob the joy of watching this movie uncorrupted
