In nakedyouth, Shishido takes us on a journey through the uncertainty and excitement of young love and homoerotic love. These gentle films quiver with sexual tension, which is linked to the natural world: trees reflecting on the surface of a pond, butterflies fluttering in the breeze.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Kojiro Shishido's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. nakedyouth is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
