Bizarre story of young Japanese rock star who becomes obsessed with fear of AIDS. Very daring for Japan.

CGiii Comment

'More and More Love', Japan, 1984, is directly concerned with homophobia and the AIDS crisis. It tells of a popular singer who finds love, a journalist who exposes him, the hysterical reactions of his Christian parents, his fear that he has caught AIDS and his supportive gay friends. The film is a strong indictment of the negative effect Christianity has had on Japanese society. There were a number of long sex scenes (as close to hard-core as you can get without showing genitals), and this might seem inappropriate in a serious film to Western audiences.
