El Triunfo de Sodoma (Spanish) The Triumph of Sodom

Movies in the name of political statements manifesting gender, arts and pornography is not my cup of tea. All I end up doing is roll my eyes and constantly winder why was this film made and is there really anyone out here who is going watch this and will have anything decent to say about it. Acually I am not even sure if this was really a ilm or a documentary. It felt neither honestly. 

I tried to make sense of what I just saw, and I could not so the synopsis below is being copied from internet. Goyo Anchou's film adjusts that bombastic beginning to its plot: a kid falls in love with a member of an anarchist cell, where everyone conspired to undermine the system of sexist and classist inequalities. What the film builds from there (with its documentary images of riots and anti-patriarchal slogans bombarding the screen) invokes the ancestors of militant cinema from the '60s and' 70s. But while the legacy of that Argentine tradition protected a hetero and masculine perspective, Anchou updates it from the vibrations of the present. Its axis is the elusive flow of genres and desire.
Beyond the theme, the film progresses with certainty. It takes that contemporary condition and processes it into its matter. 

All I understood was at some point our protagonist was a gay man who loves cock to the feminist revolution, death to the male (yes, public castration for all, but how we like the cock). Weird and definitely avoidable. I mean, come on, its 2020. Please don't take your audience for granted. (0/10)

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin

One Summer Night (Korean)

I really wanted to like this film but for non native speakers, these movie leaves a lot to be understood and the way scenes were unfolding in front of me, I wasn't sure many times what was really going on. The story had potential button getting any back story on any of the characters limited my ability to empathize with any of these actors. Film starts with two North Korea military guys Yong Joon and Jae Sung having sex and they are caught red handed and they run. Three years later we see Yong Joon in Seoul leading a very mundane and poor life. He has a boyfriend Tae-Kyu, who is a weird guy. He is carefree, doesn't do any work and is completely emotional and financially dependent on Young Joon. In fact, even Yong Joon will go to any lengths to protect him , fend for him and taking care of him to the extent of even taking up prostitution. Suddenly one day Jae Sung appears in their life again. His motivation is not clear but it is obvious he wants Yong Joon back in his life, who

Ultimate masturbation: Shigoki no yama (Japanese) [The Ultimate Masturbation]

I would never know what was the point behind making this film. Was it supposed to be a comedy, cos it wasn't. It wasn't even porn. It was just a silly attempt at making something absolutely senseless and ridiculous. The story, as well as direction is equally shoddy. You could laugh for having seen something so bad, but I wouldn't call that comedy. An old man runs a camp about gay masturbation. The explanation given is that gays masturbate for pleasure unlike straight men, for whom the act is seen as shame or because they can't find a woman. One day a straight man shows up and wants to join the camp for his thesis. After discussion, he is allowed in. Rules include that you can masturbate together, you can masturbate one another, but there is no fellatio or anal sex. Some students of course breaks rule. The teacher then talks about 2 forms of masturbation which gives ultimate pleasure. He shows one without touching and then refuses to talk of the other. Somehow suddenly,
